Whew, lots of stuff to mention today.
First off, if you weren't awake and listening to MPR's Morning Edition at 7:45 today (or haven't already heard the mp3 replay on the website), please take 13 minutes to listen to these great pieces on Chasing Windmills and MNStories:
- "Chasing Windmills" is Pretty Hard Work
- Chuck Olsen on MNStories and MNArtists
Next up, the first issue of Vita.mn's print edition drops today, coinciding (not coincidentally) with the site's launch party at the Fine Line tonight. Check out the feature article on getting picked up at bars, written by Yours Truly. And somewhere in there will be a weekly sex and dating advice column, also by moi.
The Vita.mn racks are all around town. I'm told that, as of this afternoon, you should be able to pick one up just about anywhere you'd grab a City Pages.
Finally, don't forget to tune into Chowhounds this Saturday from 10:00am to noon on 100.3 FM. I'll be on the show discussing the grueling task of collecting data for the aforementioned article, revealing my secret ingredients for the best deviled eggs anyone has ever had, and spilling everything I know about Temple.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to assemble a sassy outfit for tonight.
I figured you for Personal Shopper section vs. Dating advice. Umm...good writing though, and I would get total shivers having to go to BarFly.

See, it's that whole Scorpio female secret life thing. There's all kinds of stuff about me you'd never guess.

You are officially a big deal now. Nicely done. Do I get some credit for "discovering" you in my TV story from forever ago?

Scorpios like to think that about themselves.

And is it in your contract that they describe you as, "an attractive single woman"? That's genius.

It is a rare day indeed that I come across a piece of your writing that I didn't first hear about in your blog. Today just so happens to be one of those days, and I wasn't even looking for it. I suppose you could thank Reimenschneider.

Nice work! And you're welcome for the idea for your column.

Thanks for the kind words and support, all.
Jeremy... just glad I'm not in trouble with you for a certain line in the advice column.

Alexis rocks!

I'm very interested in checking out Barfly, but only because I used to work at the Skyway Theater, and I want to check out what they did with it.

I caught a tiny bit of Chowhounds. Wow, that dude worships the ground you walk on!
