What a Day!
July 19, 2008 · Print This Article · Written by Jennifer
Wow. What a day. I only have a few moments, but to summarize so far:
Up at 5AM.
One audio recording of the birds in my neighborhood.
2.5 hours helping start the Healsburg Century Bike Tour.
- Five brown thermos containers of coffee
- Two trays of cinnamon bread
- Too many Odwalla juices to count
- 1500 or so bikers (will have to get the exact number from Briana over at the Chamber)
Back home to regroup and refresh a bit.
Update the A Day in the Life column on this website. Shana IMs me to say she’s started a twitter stream: #hburgmag.
Out to meet Julie at Cousteax (missed her but met her later at the Farmer’s Market).
Quick stop at Fideaux to make sure the girls there take a picture (I took one–just to be sure).
Farmer’s Market (lots of people there today, including Shana and another Healdsburg local: oenophilus).
Met Laurel Cook and some other Literary Guild members who were serendipitously releasing a BOOK entitled: A Day in the Life of Healdsburg.
It was the 30th anniversary of the Farmer’s Market this week. Think I’ll be getting some more interesting photos from Mike Haran later.
Up and down the street to a few shops (will have to wait until I sort out my pictures).
Through the Plaza.
Over to Oakville Grocery, Rosenblum, and Selby tasting room.
Back through square to meet Shana for lunch.
Lunch at Willi’s Seafood. Bartender was Carl. Have to write up his drinks for the Two-Drink Minimum column. Oysters (delectable).
Back through to ParkPoint Health Club to ask about their memberships for out-of-town visitors. Have a summary I can post later.
I’m exhausted.
Head home for a snooze.
Head out to run an errand, but was just too exhausted to stay out.
Back home. Check email (four unexpected submissions for event — Thank You!!! I’m expecting more though. I know they’ll come in as the week progresses).
Check the twitter stream (two new friends on Twitter–(hi Rob and macgenie). Special shout out to Shana Ray for starting that off this morning–an unexpected social media contribution.
Call my new friend Randy over at Mateo Granados Catering to make sure he sends in his perspective. He sends it from his iPhone (will link later when I’ve got the pictures sorted).
Check the Flickr group. One new member: local photographer Craig Clemment-hope to that you’re going to submit a photo or two Craig. I’d be honored.
Quote of the day from Shana, “It made me happy!” for almost every picture she took and posted to twitpic.
It’s 11:33 right now. I have to get up early again tomorrow.
Thanks for everything everybody who participated. I look forward to your submissions.
Stay tuned!!
That is my favorite thing about this town: there is a lot that makes me happy here.
It was an amazing day yesterday. Now–to start the college!
Thanks to everyone that helped out with this project, my shout outs in addition to Jen’s are for Mike Smith, Johnny Mota, Lizzy Cordtz and Erin Beecher for spreading the word!
Stay tuned….
