maybe next MBA board member right herrrr

Guess who got nominated to be on the board of the Midtown Business Association???? Me, that's who. I really do have a lot of respect for the MBA staff and current board members, but there is no one on there like me. I am a good representative of small business retail in Midtown. In my opinion small businesses like ours don't contribute financially to the community in the same way that the big bars and restaurants do, and the large property holders, like Regional Transit and Sutter, but we are the FLAVOR!! We are the working class underbelly of our town and we support the musicians, the arts, the designers, and struggle to make a living while doing so. I am hella frugal too, and sometimes I am surprised at how money gets spent. I wanna put my two cents in. Who knows if I will get voted in. The meetings are open to the public but only MBA members get to vote. I don't see many young people at the meetings, and by young I mean under 40. The big vote takes place Wednesday evening. Wanna come support me????? It is a goddamned three year term too, as if I don't have enough on my plate.

I'm just so honored to be nominated!! I want to make a difference in our city.

New Midtown Monthly ad!!

I just finished our new Midtown Monthly ad and I'm pretty stoked on it. The photo shoot with Siobhan modeling and Kristin Cofer taking photos has been so inspiring to me.
I've been eager to use some of the shots for our marketing shizzzzz.
I also plan to hang at this one in a million river spot a ton this summer.

Our last coupon was for 15% off, but I decided to up it to 25% off this time. I am curious about ads and how they work. Midtown Monthly has great rates so I never feel like it is a waste of money, but I want people to see the ad and come in and buy shit. The only way to tell if they see the ad is if they use the coupon.

MADISON

On April 19, 2010,

my sister, Kim had a Baby!!!!

Her name is Madison and she is the first

of the new generation.

I went home to see her last week....

I decided to bust out the side-knot on my Tshirt

and old jeans from highschool that

I wore to my parents 28 year wedding anniversary

dinner at a terrible "mexican" restaurant on

saturday night. the tie in my top was the coolest

thing going on at that dinner.

We went straight over to Jackie's house

and played Cranium.

Love it. blind Drawing? yes please.

Humming songs, charades, multiple choice trivia,

light thinking...yes! It's way better than playing fucking

trivial pursuit with Melissa and Joey who I swear sit around

everynight and quiz eachother, going through all the

answers in every version ever made.

(just kidding, kinda, Melissa, I know you are very very Smart)

I just hate playing games I don't Feel like a Champion in...

more baby....

This is Madison looking at my mom...checking Grandma out.

She's getting tired, and we are laughing at her.

God She is so cute!

This is the day we met....

and I held her as much as I could because I knew I did not have much time.

This is when I hate living two thousand miles away from my family.

While my mom went to Chicago for the weekend to work and visit her parents,

I went with my Dad to visit my sister Melissa in Kirksville, Mo.

We went fishing, played games, and I doodled at the kitchen table.

I can't think of too many things my Dad likes to do more than fish with his daughters.

I had a great time at home. I love seeing my family.

I can't wait to go back. See you this summer.

Love,

Trisha.

Neon Indian - Should Have Taken Acid With You

Does anyone else want to do this with me this summer? I am not talking about taking acid, I'm talking about making surveillance movies in public places.
