Catching Up

audio ergo sum: music for being (photo by Lucas Werthein but lifted from Ari's facebook page)

I’m lagging behind in general these days. Some dumb virus has been slowing me down and there’s not much I can do about it. But I wanted to give you a quick update on some of the things I’ve managed to do in spite of my pathetic state.

For the Changemakers blog, I interviewed Emily Spivack – a friend of a friend who also happened to enter the Revelation to Action competition – about her organization Shop Well with You and what advice she has for other young entrepreneurs. Also on Friday, Dan and I drove down to New York for my friend Ari’s master’s thesis/music festival. You heard me right. Definitely puts my degree in “Individualized Study/Stuff” to shame.

And on an unrelated note, jauntsetter posted an awesome-sounding culinary experience that I’ll have to check out next time I’m in New York:

“Double Crown’s Nonya Dinners are a tasting menu-type progression of 10 dishes borne from the family-style banquet dining of Singapore and Malaysia ($35 Sundays; $55 other nights; and 2 featured wines for $25/bottle). Chef Brad Farmerie (Public, The Monday Room) and Chef de Cuisine Chris Rendell trekked to Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Malaka, and Joho last year on a Bourdain-like culinary expedition to gather inspiration for their new Nonya menu offerings.” (via WINED & DINED)

That will definitely get me in the mood for this fall!
