Here’s to the woman I’ve looked up to my entire life. The woman that raised me to be humble but proud, strong but compassionate. “Becoming your mother” is something I have never been afraid of, and in fact I hope I do. Thank you, mom, for setting such a great example of what family should be.
Nautical stripes-check! Stacked Kate Spade wrist-check! Touch of Awesome sunnies- check! JE has all the makings for a great afternoon of shopping. This casual yet bright outfit is amaze! And who would ever know that there is wine in that tumbler? Happy Weekend to all!
Dining alfresco.
Get ready for some yummie cheesy grilled corn! Habana Outpost reopens for the season this Saturday.
As a new neighbor of Habana, I’m slightly concerned about the noise it can bring to the neighborhood, but I’m looking forward to some corn and frozen mojitos.
First day of #StartupBus 2012: 6am, after a meet and greet with the WashingtonPost at 6am, StartupBus #DC embarked on the fateful 72-hour SxSW-bound adventure.
With 29 buspreneurs on board; our conductor Derina Man & in-house coach Justin Isaf made sure by 8:30am ET, #DC was popping with energy, and first round of pitches (see whole list) was well underway.
Shortly after, our kick-ass team of 6 coders, and 3 all-purpose entrepreneurs came together. We decided to introduce the world to, what we called, tourious.
In short, tourious is a social travel platform, connecting parties with similar interests, and allows tourists to explore hidden alleys and hole-in-the-walls with liked-minded local ambassadors. We want to make tourism personal.
Throughout the day, we did customer developments (our latest survey), a lot of Twitter campaigns (1, 2, 3), troubleshooting our landing page, refining & defining ideas, wire-framing, and our results (as of 10:45pm ET):
- LaunchRock: 27 signed up / 121 page load (23.1%)
- A functional wireframe
- Node.js & Redis backend in the works (5 tables polymorphic)
- In just one day, we have crossed three or four states & multiple internet outages (we’re now in Kentucky?)
However, we need more of you! You can help us build a brand new travel experience by signing-up now!
Join us, before our launch tomorrow (3/7). There will be many more hurdles in true scrappy startup fashion. We have our eyes on the main stage at Startup Village @ SxSW!
