I like pie!




(via Best Week Ever)

Because it's a rainy Friday morning and my boss is out of the office, I thought I'd take some time to try and liven up the staff blog.

My blog is an invitation to Rockin' on Walnut. Basically Julie Hot Ass Hengehold and I will be out there livin' it up at Bella, drinking some martini's and listening to some kick ass live music.

If any of you readers want to join in the fun, please come out! Martini's on JULIE! (Thanks in advance to Julie for the sponsorship tonight).

You've probably already seen this video floating around the Internet.

But when I learned yesterday that Loverboy will be among the bands playing at Taste of Blue Ash, I decided it deserved a revival.

Last Thursday night, Julie Fitzgerald and I (and what seemed like all the women in Cincinnati) had a couple cosmos at Bella and then headed over to the Aronoff to see Candace Bushnell and hear her lecture as part of the Smart Talk series.

If you're a woman, I'm guessing you're quite familiar with Candace Bushnell. The HBO hit series Sex and the City was inspired by her bestselling book of the same name, which was a collection of columns she wrote for the New York Observer.

Bushnell was loud and funny and it was interesting to see the real-life "Carrie" (played by Sarah Jessica Parker on the show) talking about her real life.

But, the best part was getting to chat with her after the lecture - and getting to see her brilliant Manolo Blahniks up close.

Sometimes, you just have to share:

Dear Cinsters,

I've noticed the Staff Question of the Week has gotten a bit lame lately. No offense intended - I'm sure it's difficult coming up with an interesting question per week. How about taking a break and letting readers comment on your staff? (Yes, I really am that brilliant.) Here's my contribution:

BERYL LOVE: You've got the cool name. You've got the hip hair and stylin' goatee. How is it you're not editor of GQ by now?

SUE COOK-WHITE: Come on, admit it - you kept "Cook" for the alphabetization.

KATIE KELLEY: So, not going by "Kitty" anymore? Made too many enemies with your hack-and-slash biographies?

GINA DAUGHERTY: You saw what journalism did to your dad, and you pursued it anyway? WTF?

TABARI MCCOY: I'm totally calling you "Bones."

JULIE FITZGERALD: I know you want me. I can see it in your smoldering gaze.

DAVID SORCHER: HINT: The backwards leather cap hasn't been cool since ... ever.

JON BERNDT: Get them to relocate you between Kelly and Kari. That's a much better sandwich to be in.

MIKE ROYER: You might fool Lois with those glasses, but you're not fooling me - SUPERMAN!

KELLY HUDSON: You and Renee Zellweger ... separated at birth?

KARI WETHINGTON: Copy Editor/Reporter? What's next, Reporter/Designer?

DAVID CLARK: What happened to the Five?

JAMIE DICKEY: I'm sure no one has ever made fun of your name, so I will. Ha ha ha! "Jamie."

TYLER THOMPSON: Either grow a beard or you don't. Commit.

JULIE HENGEHOLD: You're hot. I know because you're wearing a turtleneck in June.

LAUREN QUILL: Obviously a penname. Or, rather, a "quill" name.

COLLEEN CALLINAN: Could you BE more Irish?

RONSON SLAGLE: There's nothing wrong with "Ron," dude. Seriously.

ROB WARNICK: I had that same haircut in MY yearbook photo!

SHANA SIEFERT: You should change your name to "Shana TheDead" in tribute to the greatest zombie movie EVER.

DAVE SNELL: I think you beat me up in high school. Punk.

AMBER SAMBLANET: Naming conventions clearly dictate only one "amb" per person. "Er Samblanet" or "Amber Slanet" - which is it gonna be?

Sincerely, Dave Borcherding
