tumblr meetup :: Whisk & Ladle

I'm going to be getting together again with my fab tumblr friends, if you aren't on tumblr you should be, but if you can't give up blogger totally yet (look at me, I'm not) then you should STILL come to this meetup. Tumblr people rock.

DETAILS:

It’s time for another meetup! Instead of congregating at a bar, we’re doing things a bit differently this time. We’re meeting at the Whisk&Ladle!

You’ll need to RSVP for this so I can email you the exact address. At the request of the folks who run this fine establishment, they ask you not to re-blog the address. Just email me at leetumbls (at) yahoo.com by Wednesday, April 2nd. I’ll send everyone the address that same night.

I know this is the same night as the tumblinas event, so I hope you all can swing by afterwards!

When: April 5th @ 10 PM

Where: Whisk&Ladle in Williamsburg (take L train to Bedford)

Please re-blog and spread the word!

Mixtape Social Media Ambitions: Napster Part Deux?

In light of the recent muxtape convo, I thought some people might find this article from TechCrunch interesting. It is about Mixwit and Mixaloo, two online mixtape-ish social media endeavors.

I find the Mixaloo’s compliance with Record Labels to be somewhat of the inevitable and definitely a plus for their site. On Mashable there is some discussion about how it will not be too long before individual users of these mixtape sites are going to be targeted by record labels for uploading tracks that they aren’t authorized to share (which is like, almost all of them).

Think back to the Napster days…here we go again :)

So if you don’t want record labels to come after you individually (and they likely will) then Mixaloo is definitely the most compliant so far.

I find the slide-ish functionality of Mixwit to be pretty cool and the interface pretty usable. And I really love the simplicity of Muxtape. They all bring interesting things to the table.

Thoughts?

many faces of Hayden.

The many faces of Hayden Panettiere in this month’s Seventeen Mag. There is something about her that is so refreshing. She just seems to be a real person, unlike the Lohans of the young acting world. So cute! (via Perez)

Hi, Josh Radin. You’re standing in a rainbow.

So sad I missed this. Lovely photo Lauren! I had to miss the Hotel Cafe Tour to go to LA (Sad, sad, sad) Lauren, a tumblr friend, took this lovely photo there. I'm so sad I missed it!

getting my Vickie B. on

This is me doing my best Victoria Beckham imitation (lame I know) moments after we saw her on Rodeo…as lame as that sounds, it actually happened.

ps-I am going to stop uploading photos for now, I know how annoying it is when people post a kajillion in a row.

Britney does HIMYM

Uh oh. Don’t call it a comeback?

I just watched this movie last night the Jane Austen Book Club where all of the main characters are members of this club where they read the six Jane Austen novels over 6 months (they might do weeks, but I would def do months) and discuss one per month, with each person taking the lead on one of the books.

The movie wasn’t that good, although I adore Hugh Dancy + Emily Blunt. However, the idea is awesome.

I’d really love to do this. Jane Austen’s work is so timely and insightful. I think it would be so fun to get pitchers of beer (or maybe a ton of wine/cheese), get together, and discuss.

Would anyone in nyc be interested? Girls and guys are welcome. Please comment or shoot me an email if you might be interested.

This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one: the being a force of nature instead of a feverish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. Life is no ‘brief candle’ to me. It is a sort of splendid torch that I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to a future generation.

february showers?

I just passed this coming from a doctor’s appointment. For some reason even though they are clearly painted year round this + today’s lovely weather…gives way to hope that spring is almost here.

battle of overpriced festivals: rothbury vs. all points west

In the battle of mid-sized, over-priced, full weekend festivals, I have to say that so far, the Rothbury (in Michigan) Festival kicks the ass of the All Points West Festival. APW gets big points for Radiohead, but the balance in ‘good’ acts on the Rothbury lineup KILLS the lineup over at APW in my opinion.

Thoughts?

Btw, where the hell is Rothbury, Michigan?
