birthday party planning
March 27, 2011
Even though I have sworn up and down that I won’t be celebrating my birthday in typical Studer-fashion this year, I have been so inspired by the following parties, that I take it all back. Outstanding in the Field Dinner in the Sky The bicycle wedding… Yeah, so it’s pretty much any and everything that… [Read more…]
fighting stigma, finding solutions
March 7, 2011
Last weekend was “Fighting Stigma, Finding Solutions” – a public symposium on mental health in the community. I got involved in coordinating it on behalf of the Thomas C. Wales Foundation, the organization which gave me a fellowship back in 2005 with Teens In Public Service- resulting in my first job out of college. Talk… [Read more…]

November 26, 2010
I’m writing this from deep within my Thanksgiving food coma. I’m EXHAUSTED. What a cooking marathon! But I almost feel like everything I’ve done in the last year (cooking-wise) led up to this extravagant Thanksgiving spread. I’m sure no one will be surprised to hear that the menu I wrote about a few days ago… [Read more…]
prohibition party
November 15, 2010
Washington State has (rightfully, as far as I’m concerned) banned the popular alcoholic/energy drink, “Four Loko”. I had never even heard of Four Loko until they’d banned it, but my understanding is that something like nine people in Central WA were sent to the hospital after drinking too much and that people refer to it… [Read more…]
urban unveiled
October 18, 2010
Sometimes, I am a genius. Most recently, my genius moment came only minutes before I left the house for an EPIP Seattle happy hour at the Alibi Room, to be followed by an evening at Urban Unveiled, a bridal/wedding show at Benaroya Hall. Having engaged friends is the perfect excuse to attend things like this… [Read more…]
wake up and AMPLIFY!
October 16, 2010
.On Thursday morning, I attended “Amplify”, the Women’s Funding Alliance’s annual spring breakfast. This is the second year of this event, and it was held in the Seattle Center’s Fischer Pavilion. I’ve volunteered at WFA events ever since my good old co-worker Leslie from SJF abandoned me and moved the eight floors down in the… [Read more…]
shunpike’s golden event
October 12, 2010
I need to go to grad school so that I can make a zillion friends who will come to all of my events and support organizations I care about. This was the lesson I learned by attending Shunpike’s annual fundraiser, entitled “Golden“. Obviously, with that kind of theme, I had to be there. (Plus, you… [Read more…]
XXVII: the party
August 9, 2010
My camera (yes, the one I stole from my dad) broke, right in time for my party. The button that you press to actually take the picture popped off somewhere along the way and so my photo documentation was severely impaired. However! I did get 22 pictures out of it- 13 safe for Facebook and… [Read more…]
semi-impromptu friday night dinner party
June 5, 2010
Featuring Dana and Chewy as our special guests! Here’s the menu and the recipes: Martha’s Herbed Flatbread – featured in this month’s issue of Martha Stewart Living as part of their Sunday Supper shoot (which I posted about over on Facebook a few weeks ago). Sunday Suppers make me wish I had a bigger kitchen and… [Read more…]
summer, i don’t know how much longer i can wait
May 30, 2010
The rule for living in Seattle is that you can’t let the rain stop you from doing anything you want to do- but the loophole is that the rain also makes you not want to do anything but sit on the couch and watch TV. Today I FORCED myself out of the house to catch… [Read more…]
cochon 555: pork overdose
May 24, 2010
Yes friends, it’s possible to eat too much pork- and if you’re interested in doing so, then don’t miss COCHON555 when it rolls through your area. I heard about the event last year, which brings five locals chefs, five pigs, and five winemakers together for an afternoon of PIG. Here’s a quick little description from… [Read more…]
blue-haired bingo
May 24, 2010
For reasons beyond me, I had never attended Gay Bingo in Seattle and BOY have I been missing out. Many many thanks to Katey K for sharing her enthusaisam for the game and making me join her crowd of bingo enthusiasts for one of the funnest Seattle events I’d never been to. As it turns out, Gay… [Read more…]
so fresh and sew green: spu’s fashion show
May 24, 2010
Seattle Pacific University’s “Fashion Club” hosted their annual fashion show a few weekends ago, entitled “So Fresh and Sew Green”. I personally think they should have titled it, “Sew Fresh and Sew Green”, but whatever. After margaritas and a ton of guacamole at El Camino, Eliz, Kendall, Megan and I zipped over to SPU to… [Read more…]
day 8 of 30-day challenge: wine + yoga = misery
May 9, 2010
Lesson learned! In honor of Heather’s move-in, we threw ourselves a little party and made it a fundraiser for Penny Harvest. We asked our friends to bring their own pennies in lieu of a housewarming gift, and snapped pix of people depositing their change and gave them a pie pop and a sticker. It was… [Read more…]
on repeat
April 12, 2010
This week’s edition of “formulaic pop music”: Rude Boy and Million Dollar Girl. I kind of want to work my butt off and be Rihanna for Halloween in that black and white body suit. Now THAT would be an accomplishment. I also wouldn’t mind just BEING Keri Hilson- she’s oh-so pretty, except she looks worse… [Read more…]
purchases
March 23, 2010
I bought myself the most amazing day planner today. I’ve been keeping track of my life on my Droid (whose screen keeps just going dark) and Google Calendar. However, I realized that we didn’t have such tools for organization back during some of my most productive days, so I’m going old school and I’m going… [Read more…]
cute techs
March 21, 2010
I have to say, I’ve had THE most amazing luck when it comes to AV/Tech guys at events. The last three in particular, at the Marriott, the Convention Center, and the Red Lion- have just been incredibly nice and helpful and sweet and cute, and I realized that they are the first people I befriend… [Read more…]
the right time
March 21, 2010
When is the right time to do what you feel like you’re pretty much destined to do? I know most people are probably thinking, “immediately”, but I am seriously questioning what it would be like to marry my personal and professional selves, where I’m prepared to draw lines, and what this will mean for me… [Read more…]
putting it all into practice
March 15, 2010
This week, I’m trying to take everything I’ve learned over the last few months and put it into practice. I’ve planned out a menu and cooking schedule for the week, based on my produce delivery bin. I’ve developed a gym and yoga schedule that works around my other commitments this week, which include tutoring at… [Read more…]
