Well I couldn’t post something like the below without actually seeing how the #STL scene is currently. @JuliaDalton was pretty persuasive via her comment (as well as others!) and convinced me to give it another chance.
Twitter has seemingly changed the landscape, as last night’s tweetup here in the STL had quite a big turn out. I could only manage this picture of @ChrisRomer – the “official” photographer of the event.
At least there was some other people taking pictures such as @KarenSTL – and yes – my blog is being stupid for some reason. So go here to view them where they were posted.
Oh, and in this picture here, the person on the left is @michaelbuchanan. He had his startup featured on TechCrunch, and I knew him from when @gorman was still in the STL before he headed for the SF where he currently resides while trying to get ImThere going again.
There are talks of the next tweetup occurring on another Friday the 13th in March. Or at least there are ideas being tossed around currently as to whether Friday is the best day to do a tweetup. If you are on twitter in the STL, you need to join the STL Twitter Users Ning site that @DoctorSound set up.
Think That Labeling Is Harsh?
I just said this the other day, under the heading Sex And Your Cat?, but seriously – if we labeled these people as sex offenders or rather put them in the same category as sex offenders, this issue might not be so prevalent! It seems like hardly a day goes by and there is news about more animals being rescued from sicko’s like these people.
Maybe it’s because while I live in the city of St. Louis, well close enough to toss a football from my front porch into the city proper, we tend to forget that there are many rural locations locally that provide the cover needed to hide all sorts of activities. I think we hear more about these kind of animal abuses due to this rural / city mentality we live in.
You may think that I’m a big animal rights activist, and in fact, I’m not. I just get tired of reading the same abuse of animals story, seeing it on the nightly local news when I watch that, and generally think there needs to be something done.
Does that make me a big animal rights activist? Not really. Just tired of sickos getting all the media attention and than nothing being done to fix this problem! Labeling. I don’t agree with it totally, but than again in this case, maybe it will work to help stop the abuse.
Going to Court Soon?
Found this great line to state, from the mouth of a lawyer, so it has to be true. I was all good with it until the last line. So basically this guy’s lawyer said, “His client got a great deal, and he was guilty as charged!” Nice of him to out his client in such a quotable way.
I guess the thing to remember is: Don’t hire this guy as your lawyer. Or maybe you will want to hire him, he was able to secure his guilty client a sweetheart deal. And on Valentine’s weekend to boot! What a nice guy.
And now a little old news…
Please don’t make another comeback attempt. Just let it go, sit on the couch – and (((( poof )))), just like magic – you’ll be enshrined in Canton in 5 years. Seriously, athletes don’t realize that even though you can probably clean up in any pick up game with people your age, you don’t have what it takes to play at the NFL level. Hopefully Brett will actually sit it out for good now.
This blog here just came online yesterday for people interested in starting a new life as a franchise owner. It’s written by the #1 Lawyer in America (for 2005, 2006) in that particular legal niche of franchises(ing). So if you have been laid off, downsized, or out of work with some money to invest into a future business, you might want to read up on it.
Finally, it would be great to see SNL pick up on this and do one of those fake commercial skits. I think it would be great, and I think it has skit material written all over it.
Technically Speaking, if you didn’t know what day it was (besides Saturday!!), Happy Valentine’s Day!
