In Case Of Emergency, Read Blog

“Friday Night Lights” is one of my favorite tv programs, and the Red Cross is one of my favorite organizations. The show is filming at the Cotton Bowl stadium Friday and Saturday night and are looking for extras; the production is offering to donate $20 to the Red Cross Dallas chapter for each person who shows up to root on the East Dillon Lions.

I realize a) most readers aren’t nearby the Cotton Bowl and b) it’s short notice. But I just heard about it from the Dallas Red Cross Twitter feed and figured I’d post it for anyone in the area. The details can be found on the chapter’s blog, “Red Alert” (which by the way I think is a very clever name for a Red Cross blog).
