In October, The Back to the Future cast gathered for a panel discussion at the AMC Lowes Lincoln Square on the Upper West Side in New York City.  One of the many topics discussed, was the worst invention real or fake of 2015.  The cast also discussed their favorite moments from the films, their perception of the future, and more.  The discussion was followed by a special screening of Back to the Future: Part II.

Power failure — no lights, no nothing, no fun?  Jersey Joe has an incredible idea that will keep your family and friends entertained for hours!

THE 411

What: power failure

Reaction: Jersey Joe offers these tips for family fun

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

These are my immediate suggestions.  I grew up in the country.  In a big winter snowstorm or a summer thunderstorm, it was no uncommon for the power to go out.  My grandparents taught me that it was up to you to make it either a pleasant or horrible experience.  They simply planned ahead and were always ready.

Our family always had a back up heating source (both coal furnace or Kerosene heater), plenty of canned goods in the basement, and lights operated by batteries or kerosene.

Bottom line — it’s up to you to take a few seconds and plan for the worst.  Because, unfortunately, it will happen.

[Kicking Back with Jersey Joe LIVE] Ride on the Circus Circus Tram Reno

Jersey Joe takes a ride on the Circus Circus tram LIVE at the Circus Circus hotel & casino in Reno, Nevada and chats live in this special rebroadcast.

THE 411

What: tram ride

Where: Reno, Nevada

Hotel: Circus Circus Reno

Why: connects distant hotel towers at Circus Circus hotel & casino

Hotel opened: 1978

Website: circusreno.com

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

I love how the executives and contractors at Circus Circus found a novel solution to a problem.  They took the fact that they had a distant hotel tower and turned that negative into a positive by adding two mechanical trams that add to the tourist experience.

Hotels and vacation resorts are everywhere and it’s up to the marketers to make each of these destinations fun and unique.  Circus Circus has done a fantastic job of that.  Most of the other hotel and casinos in Reno are the same, but this place has definitely figured out how to capitalize on many unique offerings, including their midway and circus acts, to stand out from the rest.  I will DEFINITELY be back!

[Kicking Back with Jersey Joe] The Monkey Show

Jersey Joe uncovers some crazy, historic footage of monkeys doing tricks.

A group of monkeys can be described as a troop or a tribe.  The exact origin of monkeys is unclear, but are different from apes.

Monkeys have often been trained to perform tricks, or more properly in modern times, to assist the disabled.

THE 411

What: monkey tricks

Where: old film reel footage from a circus

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

While these animals are common in the circus, they deserve the same respect and treatment as all living creatures.

Also, in the English dictionary and many spell checks – there is no differentiation between monkies or monkeys.
