Ok. All this damn talk about blogs...

I really need to call my mom. I haven't talked to her in a couple of days, but there's this nagging thing called 'getting a blog' that I've been meaning to do and haven't. Guess I went and do'd it what with this entry, so here it is. Blog.

I recently scored a dream position as a reporter for Patch.com in St Clair Shores and in the Utica/Shelby Twp area of SE Michigan, and I get to report on entertainment, bars, restaurants, bands, and other fun stuff surrounding nightlife. How cool is that?! Anyhoo, a Social Media maven buddy of mine said I next needed to get one of these blog things. He was right. He said that people will want to follow me and where I'm reporting on and a blog was perfect for it. He was right again. So thank you, Joe Barnes, for being the dynamite under my puckered starfish to get this moving.

What lit the fuse is that I'm about to re-embark on hosting trivia. Yeah, yeah... I got in on the 'live trivia' bandwagon back in 2004 when I started hostessing a night at a bar I was working at. I turned their dead night into a live one, more than tripleing their night's take. Yay for them... didn't score me any more moolah. But it was fun and ran for quite a few years. I've moved my show around a little, and 'retired' for a hot sec. Now I'll be back Thursdays at Your Mother's (hahahah! You read right. My client is actually named Your Mother's! And once I learn how to link to their FB page, I'll do so.) and I want to add a bit of 'unfair internet advantage' to it by blogging some secret answers or hints or something. I don't have it exactly fingered out yet (hell, look at how long it took me to get here, dear reader), but I'm sure I will very shortly.

So that's my first blog. I promise to entertain or at least make you smile with each read. Cheers!
