Come celebrate with me & try to give me a better reason to dig out those orange things you have in the back of your closet. Some of you may have come to an orange party or five in the past and still have that funny hat or lovely makeup, but if you haven’t yet experienced one… find anything orange to attach to your person & get out here and boogie–

Who: Me & You
What: Orange Party! Get it? & Ping Pong! Prizes! Awesome Appetizers! Fun! Come on!
When: Thursday, March 11th 6:30pm
Where: The Tractor Room, 3687 5th Avenue
Why: Really, you have to ask after all the above?

Don’t have anything orange? Get creative…
orange hairspray,
a peanut butter captain crunch box taped to your jacket
a cal trans vest you found on the side of the road
an orange woot shirt

halloween decorations
construction cones… really anything will do, but it has to be visible.

*ps, I’m not a millionaire yet so who wants to buy me a drink? I promise when I am one, I will buy you one. Happy Birthday to me!

Who would’ve thought social media would’ve connected me to so many people. I’m happy to know all of you…. or most of you (ha-ha). Think about those you’ve come to know in the past few years. How many of them did you meet because of something like facebook, twitter, myspace, even blogs & podcasts?

So many, too many to name in my case…….
Many of the people I know in my own city & actually see quite regularly – I’ve met through twitter or facebook – communities created in virtual space – that have melded into reality. Interested. I am.

I’ve been inspired by Boy Girl Party‘s #penpalparty!  Mail is awesome.

X’s & Oranges

Share/Save

Ask me what my favorite color is and I’m going to say blue. Over the last decade, I’ve bought somewhere between 10 and 137 more-or-less-identical short-sleeved blue check shirts.

Every now and then, though, I buy something orange. I have a couple of orange shirts, a pair of awesome orange Saucony sneakers and a black leather jacket with a big orange stripe across the chest. Somehow in my mind, that’s the “cool” stuff that I only get to wear sometimes. Why only sometimes? I don’t know.

…That got me thinking about the blue vs. orange dichotomy. And I realized I need to be more orange.

What do I mean by that? We’ll see. It’s still a vague notion but it revolves around the idea of being more present, more engaged, more active, more excited about what I’m doing, and hopefully, ultimately, more interesting….
