Inside the Theme: Feed Me, Human! (Digital Pets)

By |2019-09-17T17:51:31+00:00September 17th, 2019|Inside The Theme|0 Comments

Around the IGGPPC, we love our pets both real and digital. This month’s theme, Feed Me, Human! is an homage to our pets that exist in cyberspace. Somewhere between Pogs and Furbies, the “it” toy to have was the Tamagotchi. A keychain-sized digital pet that required love, attention, and care - and would die without them. These digital friends have adapted to our smartphone apps and exist in new games like Neopets, Animal Crossing, and  Pokemon Go. The IGGPPC staff are here to share a bit about their virtual critters and introduce some IRL pets too!

IGGPPCamp 2019: Films Classics: Heigh Ho! It’s Off to Camp We Go!

By |2019-07-31T04:56:02+00:00August 15th, 2019|IGGPPCamp 2019, TV & Movies|1 Comment

There are a couple of favorite films that come up every year at IGGPPCamp - the 1998 Parent Trap, Addams Family Values, Wet Hot American Summer, Troop Beverly Hills, Friday the 13th - but all of these films are post 1980. As time marches on and we leave the 20th century behind, these films are entering the realm of classic film but, for this year’s Camp, let’s check out some older films. Not all of these are strictly about summer camp but they do all feature camping...in one form or another.
