Coming Attractions

Sometimes life gets so full that thoughts are shooting everywhere and you're at a loss to know what to write about.  This, my friends, is one of those times.  So many things to discuss, so little time, but I do want to mention a couple of things that are coming up here in Upper North Lake, Altadena.  Good times ahead:

Wednesday, April 28th at 5:30, Photography By Walt is hosting this month's Chamber of Commerce Mixer.  This is an extra-special event because they're having their Grand Re-Opening ribbon cutting.....come by and wish Walt and Molly good luck (and check out their cool new digs - it's looking pretty hip in there)!  Their new address is 875 E. Mariposa.

Saturday, May 1st is our May Day Festival!  Here's what Altadenablog says: "The Altadena Arts Coalition will be hosting another great community gathering with the May Day Festival coming up next Sat., May 1!
Featured event is the debut of "Abstract: Altadena," a collection of images by local photographers that will be on display in Galloway Alley behind Steve's Bike Shop at Lake and Mariposa. There will also be food available from local eateries, and many North Lake businesses will be open during the event. "Those Manning Boys" will present live music in the alley. Come and enjoy the night in our wonderful community, 5-10 PM!"  Should be a par-tay!

Saturday, May 1st will also be the Grand Opening at our area's newest retailer, Kat Scrap Studio.  They'll be having festivities all through the day, so make sure to drop by and say "welcome".  They're located on the northwest corner of Mariposa and Lake, where Walt's used to be.

Here's something I thought was pretty darn cool.  Blogger Cafe Pasadena honored another of our local community bloggers, Petrea Burchard of Pasadena Daily Photo, in a recent article.  Petrea recently spoke at the Women's City Club about blogging for business and Cafe Pasadena dishes on it here 

Another party on the horizon, again courtesy of Cafe Pasadena.  If you're a blogger living in the local vicinity you'll be interested in this, but there's a question that needs to be answered first....what time of day on a Saturday would be better, noontime or after 5:00 p.m.?  You can read about it and answer the question here

Some sad news to relay now.  Fellow blogger (Altadena Above It All and Altadena Daily Photo) and friend, Debbi Swanson's husband, Steve Patrick, passed away Friday afternoon. Scott and I send our prayers and sympathies to her.  Please keep her in your thoughts.

As always, Scott and I wish you a fabulous week (it's my birthday on Wednesday....check our Facebook Fan Page to see what we'll be cooking up)!

April 30th is the ribbon cutting for KatScrap Studio, not May 1st. Grand Opening is May 1st.

Thanks for the correction, Robert.

I was gonna mention the May 8th blogger get together here but you beat me to it! Unfortunately, most comments aren't mentioning their time preference.


However, I see the sad news of fellow blogger Debbi Swanson who I met once at a blogger event.

I still have to get to your blog and leave my preference, CP!

It's very sad about Debbi's husband. Things like that shouldn't happen to such nice people.

Don't wait much longer to give your preference!

I'll do it tonight....thanks for the reminder.
