@milligfunk, @stlwinegirl, @ashleyjane46, and @jenn_if_er

If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile, you might remember my “Race to the Rocker – I won!” recap. That was a farse. This is not.

My relay team for the Joker’s Wild Half Marathon in St. Louis County last weekend won the relay competition. Of course, since the race organizers [...]

Yelp Elite at the St. Louis Regional Arts Commission

It’s been sixteen months since I moved back to the St. Louis area from Brooklyn, New York. Because I seek interaction with new people and tend to make friends quickly, I was concerned that St. Louis would begin to feel too small to me once I got on my feet here. I wondered how long it [...]

Saucy Soiree Recap

@milligfunk @rizzotees @jenncloud and @iamcloud

Monday night was Sauce Magazine’s “Saucy Soiree”, a coming-out party of sorts for the winners of its Readers Choice awards for local restaurants and bars. Held at The Four Seasons Hotel on St. Louis’s riverfront hot spot, The Landing, the party was overflowing. Rumor had it that Sauce anticipated [...]

DSCF3326edited

I was thrilled when I found an invitation in my inbox from Abby, the Yelp Community Manager in St. Louis, inviting me to participate in a Blogger’s Roulette during Yelp Eats! week June 21st-27th.  Drinks and dinner were served at The Shaved Duck in the Tower Grove neighborhood of St. Louis.

The restaurant was cozy, with exposed [...]

Castlewood State Park

If you ask mountain bikers where the best trails are in the St. Louis area, nine of out ten of them will tell you to check out Castlewood State Park near Valley Park, just off of Interstate 44 and Highway 141. Castlewood is made up of more than 1,800 acre of land and straddles the Meramec [...]

Yelp Eats! St. Louis

One of the many good things that’s happened to St. Louis in 2010 is Yelp.

St. Louis’s Yelp community manager, Abby, is in tune with what’s happening with St. Louis businesses, social media and marketing. As a result, she’s influencing lots of St. Louis-area people and businesses to share their products, services and reviews via Yelp.

From Monday, [...]

Absolutli Goosed Tweetup Recap

When I arrived at Absolutli Goosed on South Grand in St. Louis on Saturday night, my arrival was greeted with the cheers of more than a dozen women sitting on the bar’s patio, drinking colorful martinis and chatting emphatically.

Saturday night was a St. Louis ladies night tweetup – the second that I’m aware of [...]

Association of Fundraising Professionals St. Louis – Branding

Today is the St. Louis Association of Fundraising Professionals biennial conference, and I’ve been given the opportunity to present at the conference on social media and marketing special events. I’m thrilled not only to speak at the conference, but to be able to attend the conference, learning from other fantastic nonprofit professionals.

The first session I attended [...]

South City St. Louis Tweet-up at The Silver Ballroom

On Friday, May 13th, we’ll be holding another great St. Louis-area tweet-up. As with almost any tweet-up I organize, no RSVP is necessary, and the more the merrier.

South City, St. Louis is one of my favorite parts of the city. Cool red brick homes, hipster bars, and a real neighborhood feel prevail. Of course, there’s the intermittent crime [...]

Another Bathroom Post

Today’s post is dedicated, once again, to notable bathrooms. Local Harvest, located in South City St. Louis, is a fantastic little cafe that offers spectacular local-produced foods. It’s also the only restaurant I’ve found in St. Louis that offers a vegetarian slinger (if you’re not from St. Louis, I’ll educate you on this diner-food-of-the-STL-gods).

Local Harvest has [...]
