Light Rail Pub Crawl

The 3rd Annual Light Rail Pub Crawl rolls through Downtown and Midtown this Friday evening. Here’s the inside scoop on our TENTATIVE schedule. And by TENTATIVE we mean "subject to change because we’re having a great time at a place and don’t want to leave or because the trains are slow." However, you should be aware that we run a tighter ship as the evening progresses because the frequency of the trains slows down.

And, yes, we realize that the bars are not listed. You should have a decent idea of the places we’re hitting based on the stops and our "no more than three blocks from the rail" rule. Need specifics so that you can meet us out on Friday? No dramas. Follow us on Twitter for route updates on the fly.

We can’t wait to meet you. You’ll know us by our fantastic shirts and gregarious nature.

High As A Kite

Did I mention it was a windy dayThat explains the kind of day we had today as we celebrated little DVD’s 1.5 years of existing. Today’s activities included kite flying, ice cream consumption and chillaxin. Photos are courtesy of Wonderwife since I was piloting the aircraft. Video is here.

Twitter Crawl!

by

  

You’ve attended pub crawls before, but now my good friend Lennie at Saint Arnold has organized an exclusive crawl for all those on Twitter (add me @mojodenbow) and crave the best craft brew in Texas!

The first stop is at Hans’ Bier Haus

Once there, Twitterers/crawlers will get a punch card with one hole punch in it. The next stop will be revealed at Hans’ and when they proceed to the next one they will get a second punch in their card. The last stop will be revealed then.

When people get to stop #3 they can redeem their punch card for a free SA pint glass. There will also be a special reserved cask of Christmas Ale at the last stop! Yummo! Fun? Of course! Bring your designated driver, your mobile Twitter & map clients and we’ll see you there tonight at 6PM. (Disclaimer: I am a passionate consumer of Saint Arnold’s many flavors of craft beer)

Oh, don’t forget that Saint Arnold hosts a Tour & Tasting Every Saturday at 1:00.

Saint Lennie?

Lennie, the patron saint of Twitter crawls. Cheers!

Excuse Me, Your Ass Just Called

I’ve been accused by friends and family alike that I “butt dial”. This means that when my mobile phone is in my pockets and gets sat on, it dials whatever lucky soul I last talked to . My father has mentioned he heard me drive down the road with music in the background. Wonder if he picked up on the road rage? Imagine my surprise when I came across an advertisement by T-Mobile recently:

I’d love to hear more from everyone because blogs are conversational, right?

I enjoy reading email, IM chats and tweets and this past week has seen a lot of feedback regarding various topics. I’m opening the floor to you to suggest local issues, arts/entertainment updates and whatever else strikes your fancy.

An upcoming event

What’s happenin? Send me a blurb and we’ll promote it to the hundreds, soon to be thousands of readers.

Got a project?

I love hearing what people are working on. It is inspiring and makes me smarter. Give me some info and I may follow up with a Q&A session for promotional purposes.

Meetups

Flashmobs?

Tweetups? User groups? Photowalks? I want it and so do a lot of other people. Meetups are more fun with more people!

New art series

You have the talent and I have the means of showcasing it

I do have standards of course so not all submissions will be posted. Also keep in mind that this is a one man show here and posts will be updated as time allows. having said this, your participation is crucial so send in your submissions mojodenbow [at] gmail dot com.

As a demonstration of what this looks like, here is what is coming soon courtesy of two very good friends of mine. Their photography inspires me and makes me want to be better. The two Tracys, Three Heart Photo and Funny Girl Photography each have their own art show coming soon so check them out, buy some art and make some new friends at the Coffee Groundz.

What's The Big Idea?

by

What are you thinking about lately that will affect you in the next three years? What ideas will define you? The next question is to ask, what are we doing with our ideas to make them into reality? Ideas are just fine in themselves but also useless without action. I recently stumbled across this article about ideas and execution and this is what prompted my question.

“An idea is no more useful than a coupon for a bag of sugar; show me the finished cake, then we’ll talk.” – Merlin Mann

So go ahead and launch that project, or deliver your product to the client or just do something about your ideas to make them happen.
