Pumpkin Peeps?

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

First the Griswalds down the street are stringing lights & inflating things on their lawn for Halloween and now this?

The only form of non-fowl Peeps allowed are the little bunnies. Pumpkins are the obvious ploy of a marketing person that spends their entire per diem on crack.

Spotted at the Fresh Market in Mayfaire if you are so inclined.

Wilmington Meetup

Friday, October 24th, 2008

The Star News has organized a meetup tomorrow morning for all of you blog/social media types.

The Grand Poobah of NC social media himself, Wayne Sutton, is promised to make an appearance. If you look up hyperconnected in the dictionary, Wayne’s avatar is probably there along with links to his accounts on Twitter & about 75 other social media sites that you haven’t even heard of.

The man is a beast.

10 AM – Saturday, October 24th @ The Connection

Wilson’s Restaurant to close after decade in business

Economy takes toll on Cavenaugh car lots

Both via the Star News Website

It’s really scary to see the economy taking a toll on local businesses. We bought our first two cars from Bruce and I’ve done a little web work for Larry over at Wilson’s over the years (no, didn’t design it – just cleaned it up from time to time).

I’m more than a little concerned for those that lost their jobs over the past week. Pounding the pavement is no fun.
