I don't normally cover a lot of sports here on The Rock Father, so when I do, it has to be something special. Case-in-point? The NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs are taking place right now, and with the hometown Chicago Blackhawks in the mix, I'd be a bad Chicagoan not to throw some love their way. After all, this is the team that once had mighty industrial rockers MINISTRY present them with a fight song - "Keys to the City." Now, with the playoffs in full-effect, the folks at Enterprise Rent-A-Car (the official Rent-A-Car of the NHL) and The Rock Father want to help YOU rock your playoff party, and one lucky reader will get all the tools to pull it off in style.

First Prom with The Rock Father: 1993 Revisited for 2013... with an ACUVUE Giveaway for Parents and Kids!

Since it's May, that means it's officially PROM SEASON. As a parent, I figure I've got roughly 12-13 years before I get to worry about help my girls get ready for prom, but I know that a lot of you are in the process of getting your kids (Girls and Guys) ready right now. The folks at ACUVUE and THE ROCK FATHER want to help, and together we're offering parents with vision-corrected children a chance to score a one-year supply of 1-DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® Brand Contact Lenses, and a pretty sweet collection of grooming materials for the big day. As we were getting this all together, something hit me: My first prom was 20 years ago this month... May of 1993. Storytime, kiddies...

What's YOUR fandom? Tell us, and you could win!

Folks that visit The Rock Father regularly know that there's quite a bit of content that could be considered "fandom" oriented. There's a lot of crossover between things that I dig and things that my children dig... and I know that applies to a lot of you as well. As parents, we infuse our little ones with a lot of what we're into, but at the same time, they influence us. One company that's on the pulse of that is OffWord Designs, a local outfit here in Chicagoland that manufacturers killer t-shirts for the whole family (kids and grownups). If you've visited a comic or gaming convention recently (C2E2, Dragon Con, Gen Con, even SDCC) you might've run into them. With their new website launched this week, OffWorld Designs and The Rock Father are giving a couple of lucky readers a chance at some new threads. Let's look at some of what they do...

Giveaway: Hasbro ANGRY BIRDS STAR WARS toys and games! #MayThe4thBeWithYou

I am a STAR WARS aficionado. Those that are regular readers of The Rock Father know this. I've been known to "teach The Force"; I once worked on a film called "5-25-77"; I recorded a viral song called "Darth Vader is a Real Cool Guy!" that appeared on TheForce.net over a decade ago; I once had such a large STAR WARS toy collection that it required it's own room (since sold); and I was one of 19 Dad Bloggers that took park in "The Definitive White Paper on When to Expose Your Children to STAR WARS." Yes, The Force is strong with this one, so when the folks at Hasbro asked me if I'd like to help distribute some new toys and games from their ANGRY BIRDS STAR WARS line in honor of STAR WARS DAY (May the 4th), there was no way to resist.
