So me and (e:jill) went out and did so much sidewalk chalk advertising last night. They were really good ones too (ok some were bad, some had mispellings but overall they were good) And then I wake up tihs morning and it is all rainy meaning they are all gone. I hope some people saw them last night before they were washed away. We did talk to quite a few people while we were out though aobut the site which was good. Hopefuly there will be some new peeps in here soon. Did anyone see the ads before they washed away?

Good food and sitingsI haven't posted or kept up on reading the journals in a while and I still seem to have nothing to say except today I ate lots of good food. me and (e:amanda) went to the Juicery downtown and I had a tasty super veggie and tuna salad. Then we walked around downtown and I got starbursts which are my favorite candy or at least high on the list. AND THEY WERE ON SALE! What a deal. Then tonight I went to my mom's cousin and we always have so much good food there. We had baked ziti, meatballs, sausage with peppers, some like slow roast beef thing, and all these veggies and then tiramisu and mini cheesecakes for dessert. It was all so tasty..
OMG my cousin's little kid who is 2.5 years old talks like a 10 year old. It is insane. For some reason he took a liking to me tonight and wouldn't talk to anyone but me but seriously told me everything that has happened in his life. He told me about everythign he has seen such as Joseph and the AmazIng Dreamcoat, The Rockettes, Lion King, and Sponge Bob. He usses such big words like character and stuff too. IT was really insane how much he knows and can talk about for being 2.5 years old. Except someteims he refuese to use starting s's. SO he kept saying Kunk Pray is bad and I had no idea what he was talking about til his mom tolld me aobut he starting S thing.
Oh and the whole point of my post in the begiging. Today while walking down elmowod I saw (e:libertad), and then I saw (e:ladycroft) and (e:jenks). It was such the esighting day. It is always fun to run into people on the street. Hooray to summer and being outside and seeing people.

Cuteify my user picIn the chat I was just reading that (e:paul) wrote:
paul 00:21 it takes online images and cutes them into userpics
Haha that struck me as funny. I want something that takes my image and "cutes"
it into a userpic. Though sometimes it seems some people have already found that magic and their image has been quite cuteified.

I wasn't looking for donations... I was trying to find parties interested in completing the event with me.
I can't believe you've invested that much money Paul. Let me say thank you.

First off don't take offense but lets say I wanted to give to Tour De Cour How would I give you the money? That means that only people who know you from off the website could donate. Secondly your post sounded verry ify. When I read that you havn't decided what length to do then I hear not commited maybe he will get sick of training and bail on the entire thing. In adition there are multiple cancer Charity events if anyone allready gives to them then why give to the tour. You are getting way over excited cause no one respondend to your post. I'm sure that if that charity is important to someone then they will give money.

I don't see why people couldn't contribute to both. As for estrip I put like 5000 hours of time in plus about $8000 at this point. You probably don't think about it when you use it, but websites like this require lots of time to create and the more people that join and find pleasure in using the site and publishing their ideas and lives, the more worth it, it was to my investment and to the community.
I think it's great that this time other people taken ownership and come through to help in promoting the site and making it grow. And by having it grow it brings more people to read about and promote their own events, such as the ride you are riding in.

My Two Cents about the ColonAs someone who has been around (e:strip) almost since its inception I just wanted to add my two cents about the colon. I definetely think it is a necessary part of the name. It just is like something that has been here all along and really the (e:) is almost a symbol for the site all on its own. I definetley prefer it being in the logo and the bumper stickers. It also forces the pronunciation of (e:) strip. Otherwise people could read it as estrip like how you would pronounce estate or estrace or estrogen and estrip would make no sense. So I think the colon must stay. I don't love the final design(the org seems unnecessary and makes things no clearer I blieve) but I do and always will love the colon.
twisted - 04/11/06 10:15
Just so I don't go down in history as a colon-hater: Google works for both, but if you type e : strip.org right into your browser, you get a scary error message. As long as you figure out to remove the colon, or go and google it instead, you're fine. I was just suggesting a way to avoid potential confusion so the most possible peeps would get to the site and see the colon in all it's e : glory. I'm over it now. But for the record, I love the colon -- it's the HTTP protocol that's not so crazy about it, haha.
