bag lady like erykah badu
yesterday, seattle's city council approved a 20-cent fee for disposable (paper & plastic) grocery bags. i'm sure you all have at least one or two reusable shopping bags already, from either whole foods, fred meyer, trader joe's and even costco (they're not gigantic though. where am i supposed to put that pallet of toilet paper? :)) but ever the fashionista i am, i decided to do a little research on some flashier reusable bags...

though i must say, this was my favorite find:
at nordstrom of course
just because the rules are changing doesn't mean your style has to suffer! aight

stuff fresh jess likes: food and controversy
just six months out the gate with the insanely popular (and controversial) blog, "stuff white people like", christian lander and friends have released stuff white people like: the definitive guide to the unique taste of millions. LOL!
last night at the hideout, a few of my favorite people, some other random seattleites and i had the pleasure of having dinner with christian and friends, thanks to kim ricketts book events (i told you. get on her fun list now!) onepot provided a delicious english meal while we engaged in conversation and listened to a couple of short reads from the book. i was already a big fan of the blog, but after having met the humble and truly awesome author(s), i think "stuff white people like" might be tops on my list. i can't imagine having millions reading your blog every day and responding so passionately to it (both negatively and positively.) you haters know this is supposed to be funny right? even at dinner, i think we might have offended some of the folks having a drink at the bar who didn't have a clue about the blog. lighten up a bit, geez!
p.s. christian signed my book: "jess & jacob: according to #11, your children will be annoying." :)

this article is just fantastic:
seattle p-i.com: 'Voice of the Sonics,' Calabro jumps off magic carpet ride
i've been reading lots of reader comments on news articles and blogs since news broke a week ago that our beloved sonics are leaving us. what i really like about this article is kc's true honesty - he holds nothing back about how he feels, and that's what makes him such a treasure. i know you hear "good golly miss molly, my oh my" in your head right now...just nod and smile :)
what i don't like is how the guise of the internet brings out the severely unclassy. this is not just about the anti-sonics haters, i mean haters in general. lots of them come out of the woodwork long enough to say "good riddance sonics, now take the M's and the seahawks with you" or "the sonics never meant anything anyway." everybody's got their own opinion, i understand that, but ignorance just gets to me sometimes. you know what, this situation sucks, yes. we lost a pro sports franchise and there are many options at which/who to point the blame to. but what makes some people so mad about the sonics that they're so happy to see them leave? what is it about this NBA franchise that's making your life so miserable it inspires you to leave nasty comments on the internets? i'm sorry, are you one of the many employees who now have to make the choice to move to the armpit of america (OKC), or look for another job? are you one of the children or part of one of the families who were helped out by one of the sonics/storm's many community outreach programs? what people don't stop to think about are the ramifications of a major employer leaving the city, the neighborhood effects of losing a major tenant at key arena, etc. - because it's so much easier to complain, bitch & moan about how much you hate something right?
you can hate all you want, but you can't deny that the sonics are a piece of the pie that makes seattle such a great place to live - and losing them will definitely have an effect. think about that!
p.s. thanks for keeping it classy calabro

white people like parties, and writing books
this email turned a somber morning at the office into sunny days again...
Hi, Fun List Friends!
We have very few seats, like ten, available at what is sure to be the most talked about shindig of the summer. Christian Lander, writer of the hugely popular and hysterical blog, stuffwhitepeoplelike.com wrote a book, and so we are celebrating with him.
What do White People Like?
It is pretty clear: women with bangs, recycling, mayonnaise, bilingual children, bumper stickers, grammar, the Ivy League, scarves, Target, having gay friends, graduate school, difficult breakups, sweaters….and, inexplicably, Billy Joel!
In tribute to this scaldingly fun satire of many of us, we are throwing a dinner in Christian’s honor, along with One Pot at The Hideout on Tuesday, July 15.
Dinner is at 6pm and cost is $60/person, which includes a copy of his book, STUFF WHITE PEOPLE LIKE: The Definitive Guide to the Unique Taste of Millions.
You MUST call or email the Book Events office to RSVP, (206) 632-2419 or info@kimricketts.com.
But there is some good news for the people who don’t get one of the coveted seats at dinner…The party, celebration, book signing, and shindig will continue in to the evening…and anyone can show up after 8pm. Free to get in, no host bar, and books will be for sale. Let the good time roll!
The Hideout is located at 1005 Boren Avenue, just north of Madison on First Hill.
i love it. more info at www.kimricketts.com. we are so there!

travel buggin
my boyfriend calls me the queen of newsletters, and he is right! since it's a three-day weekend and lots of people are cutting back on the vacations, i thought i'd share a couple of travel newsletters i subscribe to. you can still travel, if you're smart about it!
farecast: this site helps you determine the right time to buy airline tix. it literally "forecasts fares" over 90 days, telling you when to buy, when to wait, and when to act fast. i've learned that many airlines put up deals on thursday nights - and sometimes waiting is worth it. holla!
travelzoo: this is a good one for weekly deals on airfare, plus hotels, cruises, and vacation packages around the world. it makes it real tempting to blow a paycheck or two on a quick vacay to rome! til i come to my senses of course.
