Give A Damn

You have to love it when paths cross

I have been LIVING at a local bar in Santa Monica for the past few weeks watching every Cardinal playoff game. The bar has attracted basically every Cardinal fan and in LA. Many of them went to Mizzou and we have all made connections on who we know from college or STL.

Asking "what high school did you go to??", never gets old.

My favorite connection was made on Friday night (aka the night the Cardinals won their 11th World Championship)

Almost exactly three years ago this month I met a guy at church. The only reason I randomly talked to him was because he was wearing a pair of TOMS Shoes. At this time it was rare to see a pair of TOMS and I was about to move to LA to work for the company.

He started to tell me about how he was also leaving STL soon with friends to film a documentary. I found this very interesting and to this day still had always wondered what happened to that movie.

Fast forward three years later and who do I meet?? One of the guys who was apart of that filming. Not only had we met in college, but he is only in the LA area for the next 10 days to promote their completed documentary.

I think this is a great idea and I hope to be at the screening on Friday.

isn't baseball romantic?!

i love being from st louis
i love being a cardinals fan

how can you not love a wild card team winning the national league championship?
OR not love a city that is now crazy about squirrels and treats baseball playoffs like its a month long holiday??

they don't call it Red October for nothing!

i'm superstitious
for the last two weeks i have only been drinking STL beer (= bud heavy when i can find it)
and i have been to the same bar 4/7 nights this week, since the Cardinals win EVERY night i am there

i will continue to drink my STL beer and go to South every game night, since my STL Cardinals are going to the WORLD SERIES!!!!

you BET i'm wearing a cardinals shirt to work tomorrow

cheers to STL and to the cardinals

Palm Springs

Last weekend I took a mini road trip to Palm Springs for the first time. I went for a girls weekend with three friends from my internship days. We spent the weekend at the Ace Hotel.
You go to Palm Springs for the heat and a weekend by the pool.
We would wake up, have brunch at the hotel and spend the rest of the day drinking by the pool. We then would go out for dinner and repeat the next day.
We did try to make a morning trip to Joshua Tree, but due to recent flooding, we only made it as far as the entrance. Good Enough for us.
Thanks for the summer sun in October Palm Springs!

Boy & Bear

Our office celebrated World Sight Day on Thursday. We hosted a happy hour out in our alley; drinks, food and a really good live show.

I always appreciate my friends passing on new music to me, so here is a new music gift to you all. I give you, Boy & Bear.

To sum them up, think Mumford and Sons. BUT a little more folk and these boys are from Australia! I downloaded their album right after the show and it was my Friday soundtrack at work yesterday all day long. I always appreciate when you can enjoy the ENTIRE album, not just a few tracks. I give a thumbs up to all of their songs.

Find them on itunes and ENJOY!
