*Birgitte Philippides (aka The Artist) is part of the celeb-saturated Lunchbox Auction, proceeds of which go to Food Bank NY. Birgitte's lunchboxes go up for auction tomorrow, Fri Oct 28! (And look at her pretty web site: Birgitte Philippides. I made it myself.)

*Matt Law is part of the New York City Photobloggers Show at the Chrystie Street Gallery. It kicks off with a party on Thu Nov 3, and the show will run through Nov 19. You can even buy one of Matt's prints!

*Chopper Bob's Cars! Cars! Cars! was picked by Bloglines as a best bet for car fanatics. His subscription numbers started shooting through the roof and we made a bet: I said he won't get 2,000 subscribers before his new baby arrives. I think I am going to lose that bet this weekend. Way to go, Bob!

I finally got around to upgrading my Flickr account, mostly so I could add more sets. And I've gone a little nuts adding pictures.

Austin
I took a business trip to Austin, TX, recently. The event went smoothly and we capped it off with some awesome BBQ. The Longhorns won that day and we saw a lot of orange shirts.

Biren & Kristen's Wedding
Man, what a good time! Congrats again! The dancing was fun, everyone was dressed beautifully, and we ate the best wedding food ever.

Body Art
Just this weekend, I got henna (mehendi) on my hands, got some new body jewelry, and Jeffrey got his second tattoo. (He also picked up two 6-packs of gluten-free beer. I love New York.)

She's Crafty
I've put up pictures of my sewing machines and some old and new projects. I've also included pictures of what happened to my finger in the accident I had. (It's pretty much all better now, thanks.)

I also added sets for my bedbug pictures (not a lot of those on Flickr) and my trips to Ohio and Las Vegas.

The Cardinals didn't come through, so I'm not going to the World Series. {Cry, cry!}

But my parents were there last night for the very last major league baseball game at Busch Stadium. I have lots of happy memories of that ballpark and I'll be sad to see it blow up.

Cuddle Party hits primetime tonight on CBS at 10pm EST!

*Watch a preview
*Cuddlemania
*Attend a Cuddle Party (and tell them I sent you -- they'll be EXTRA nice to you)

*UPDATE: That. Was. Hilarious. One of my favorite quotes last night from a Cuddle Party founder: "All that time we've spent in the last year and a half, convincing people Cuddle Party is not an orgy? Allllll down the tubes tonight." Hah.
