Bereavement Airfare

I just got news that my aunt has passed away yesterday. It doesn’t sound like she died peacefully, which breaks my heart even more. I feel for my cousins. They’d just lost their dad the year before. I’m grateful that I was able to see her and visit his site late last year on their home turf (CAN).

Just tweeted to the airlines about an air ticket to Toronto. Jetblue was the first one to DM me back. Thanks, Jetblue! Although you don’t have flights that go directly to CAN, you offered a couple other suggestions.

It seems that bereavement airfare isn’t always the cheapest ticket around. Huh. Go figure.

I await further instructions from the elders in my family.

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Recap of Goo Goo Over Google Analytics

SMCLA posted a nice summary of the event last Tuesday on Google Analytics. You should take a look. Track track track. I’m tracking now.

Apparently I have friends in Russia and China, checking out this blog. (Thanks, guys!) Hope you weren’t looking for pr0n because there isn’t any here. Heh. I couldn’t even code pr0n if I wanted to. Javascript, PHP, and my enemy, Flash? Nope.

Happenings This Week

Hey all,
It’s going to be a busy week this week. Oh, HI, how are you?

I’ve been thinking about what to do with this website. I’ll try to blog regularly about events and activities around the LA area re: marketing, social media, and PR. If you’re really interested in my book choices, running log, and randomness, head over to my personal blog.

Now, back to business!

Patty's Pizza

First up, one of clients I work with is Patty’s Pizza in Santa Monica. They’re having a good-bye/moving party on Monday night from 4pm-10pm. I’ll be there to help get videos of customers and friends with my trusty Flipcam. (Hi, how much do I love my Flipcam!? I wish I had more opportunities to take video.) Come by and say hello! Patty’s is celebrating 22 years in the pizza biz, and they’re starting up their online/delivery business. Follow them on Twitter here – @pattyspizza.

Here’s the address of the party:

625 Montana Ave., Santa Monica, CA 90403

X – 7th and Montana

Second, Social Media Club LA (SMCLA) is hosting a Google Analytics presentation at the Mahalo offices. It’s this Tuesday night at 7pm. Get your ticket here! I’ll be there, along with the Grandmaster Flash of Social Media (@serena), my partner-in-social-media-crime @r0b3rta, and a couple of new friends I made via @katcalbes and @serena. (Hi, Garick! Hi, Robyn!)

Here’s the address of the Mahalo offices:

902 Colorado Ave., Santa Monica, CA 90401

See you at both events!
