The Hiatus is Ovah

We're sorry. We got busy. We have a peace offering for you.

We'll update regularly now...for reals this time, peeps, I swear.

Welcome to our new place! You might not notice a difference if you got here via the www.gatewaygroupies.com url, but rest assured, you're now at STL.typepad.com, a cool place for STL peeps' blogs. If you want one, call us, we'll talk.

Some of you have been keeping the dream alive by visiting Laine's photo blog, and that's great! Keep on doing that, too, 'cause she's way funny and super duper talented. But be sure to check Gateway Groupies at least a couple times a week for more exciting news on whatever silly thing we happen to be up to here in SoHa and beyond.

OH, the things you have missed while I was too busy with my fancy schmantzy job and all my volunteer gigs to update! But as is the tradition here at Gateway Groupies, I am pretending that never happened. We're starting from scratch. And this is what we did last weekend:

We said goodbye (with food) to a certain Post Dispatch Science reporter and her husband, who have left us for D.C. and Science News.

We went grocery shopping at the Hampton Village Schnucks at midnight (gotta avoid the paparazzi!)

We went to the annual Brinker Cincinatti Chili three-way.

We went to the Esquire and saw "Sweeney Todd."

We went to Dunaway Books, where I purchased a McSweeney's list anthology, a Henry James novel and a James Joyce novel (and not because I couldn't remember who was whom, I can't believe you're so suspicious!) and a Paula Cole CD, because it was $3.00.

And then we walked to Jay International for some grocery action.

Where Laine assures everyone, the chocolate biscuits are not made of kittens.

Coming soon: "Valentine's Night Two: Mary Lou"
