Movin' on over to wordpress!
While I love some of the features of Posterous, there's a few things it just can't do. Time to make the move over to WordPress!
Join me at Seattle Pockets: https://seattlepockets.wordpress.com/
On November 12th at 11am at University Heights Center, Seattle food bloggers will be baking up their favorite tasty treats with proceeds benefiting The Emergency Feeding Program.
Join Will Bake for Food - Bring your sweet tooth, along with non-perishable food items or a monetary donation. For a list of the items the Emergency Feeding Program needs most, click here (PDF).
When: Saturday, November 12th, 2011
11am-2pm (or until they run out! Rumor has it they've run out after 90 minutes in previous years so get there early)
Where: University Heights Center
5031 University Way NE
Seattle, WA 98105
Why: Because everyone needs healthy, nutritious food. The Emergency Feeding Program’s mission is to provide an emergency response to the nutritional needs of people in crisis hunger situations throughout Seattle and King County.
Generally, I love to sleep in and stay in on Saturday mornings, but the awesome group of bloggers who will be there is motivation enough, not to mention that they're all working together to support an incredibly important cause.

Hoping they create a Facebook Event Page soon!
My favorite wine event of the YEAR is back on November 19th: 20something Wine at Fremont Studios!
Uber is a fabulous car service that came to Seattle just a few months ago. I love them: You pull up the app on your phone (you can also text, I hear) and before you request the car it will tell you how far away your driver is! With the magic of GPS, you can watch your car come your way on the app's map and then you get a text when it's near and has arrived. The drivers are so professional, and you arrive at your destination in town car style! Plus, they bill your credit card directly, including gratuity, so you don't have to hand over cash or wait while they swipe your card. It's a few bucks more than a cab, but well worth it for the ease and convenience.

This just in: 2 for 1 tickets 10/20 & 10/23 at 8pm! Visit Goldstar here: http://bit.ly/o9SaFJ and search for Nanda!
Having seen Nanda perform shorts at The Moisture Festival, I was already excited about this show before the curtain went up last weekend on opening night.
I was expecting a fun, lighthearted night of performance, but was truly blown away by this show.
They're not perfect, but they're awesome. These talented guys make you transport back to the days of playing pretend as a kid. What happens on stage is as if the brain of an active 8 year old boy, in love with martial arts movies, comes to life. Their "kung faux" fighting is electrifyed as their choreography matches over-the-top sound effects, swing near each other and throw themselves back in comic falls. The audience feels like a kid again, remembering the importance of play and imagination as it comes to life before their eyes.
Tomoki Sage brings his talents to the stage in a delivery that will remind audiences of vaudvillian style clowning. Groucho Marx would be pleased. His facial expressions and dedication to character in the moment are filled with joy and comedic skill. I can't wait to see Sage perform again and this particular performance is spot on. Joined by co-stars Misha Fradin, Chen Pollina and Kiyota Sage, this handsome bunch will have you laughing one moment and dropping your jaw the next, as they make difficult acrobatic moves look easy as pie.
The video production that helps carry the story between costume changes is well produced and adds to the fun of the production.
The Jacket runs about an hour with no intermission and will leave you smiling all week long. It's rare I see a show that I want ALL of my friends to see, but this is one that appeals to a huge audience. The crowd jumped to its feet in standing ovation at the end of the show. Don't miss the creative joy that is NANDA.
Have a Facebook Fan Page or Twitter account for your business? Don't miss out on Friday's "Rise of the Social Customer" event, put on by the Seattle Chamber. I've attended other lunch events in this series and always walk away with more tools in my Social Media toolkit.
