About me: I am Lori and I am St. Louis. You are, too. Right?
So here I am, happily located in the sweetest of all the united states - and in the gatewayiest of all cities. The StL is well on it's way to becoming the place where you wish you lived, did you know that? I'm having some fun starting to shake out all I have up my sleeves to be a part of the rackets that've already begun.
I'm into: St. Louis+Memphis+NewOrleans (Mississippi River Valley Coastal Pride!), coworking, StL cohesion, my work in social media marketing and information architecture, progressive thinkin', community suportin', bar hoppin' and I love to dance.
People who actually stay classy. Goofy people. Dancing people. Appropriately dressed people. People who bring their A-game to life. People who love Saint Louis. If you laugh as loud as me, I would definitely like to meet you. Bloggers, I like bloggers.
Also, I'd love to meet other people who only initially joined the myspace so they could say they were Jason Mraz's "friend" (guilty) --- only to discover after a short amount of time that it's just too much fun to look at what strangers' friends say about them to pretend you're too cool for myspace.
Lori, we are looking for a new spot now. We hope to have something finalized by the end of the year! Thank you so much for your concern and willingness to help.
Hey Lori, I'm so glad you had fun at the show last night! We did too, you guys were great to play for. I hope to come back sometime soon... Till then, xo Meaghan Smith P.S. Your profile pic is awesome!
