toronto mashable meetup tweetup geekup speakup

Tomorrow is Social Media Day hosted worldwide by Mashable. I’ll be attending the Toronto Meetup Tweetup along with about 75 other social medialites from this fine city. Mashable created this day to celebrate all media becoming social, the social media revolution. For a while there is was just geeks in the SM scene and now social media has become part of pretty much every marketing campaign out there. Three cheers for social media! I love you internet. As it stands right now, I will be speaking at the event. How cool is that? My talk will only be about 10ish minutes and I’ll be addressing the two questions I get asked the most and a third if I have time. 1. How to get a job in social media? 2. How to get free stuff? 3. Managing multiple personalities (online) RSVP for the Toronto Meetup can be found here or on Facebook here. When: Wednesday, June 30, 2010 @ 8:00 PM Where: Madison Avenue Pub, 14 Madison Avenue The thing I love MORE than anything about the social web are the people I have met because of it. These are som eof my friedns that were at the Klout Tweetup @ The Gladstone last night. @40deuce @hawleydunbar @sidewalkhustle

TFC game was awesome, you should have been there

Pure awesomism at the Toronto FC game Saturday. It was seriously 10. EPIC. Look at this badass crew on the field… Group photos are so fun, lets do more of that ok. I loved seeing everyone IRL, it was a first meeting for a bunch of us. I had been REALLY excited ALL day week. Being there DURING world cup, priceless. This is my fav cheer “when the reds go marching in”. SUCH good energy. TFC games have THE BEST fans. I tried to pay attention to the game but was totally distracted by the funnest crowd ever. We got to go right down to the field as VIP’s with total babe as an escort (not me, the TFC guy on the left beside Michael). Chatted Jonathan about doing it again so don’t worry, you can come then. I was obvs prepped for the rain. This guy was prepped to cheer on! Michael was the ONLY guy with brolly for the downpour. They’re not allowed at games but somehow, he got away with it. Must be the charm or good looks? It was a tie and the crowd still cheered their faces off outside. It was stellar. We were hangin’ @ Liberty Bistro for a while after the game. God it was so fun. The owner  and I go way back to when I used to work in Liberty Vill so he hooked us up with sweet table etc. Love that little spot. Before we got table, we had hedge. There are about 30 photos from the night in this web album TFC 2010. I can’t WAIT to go again. SO FUN. Have a great day!

riot girl in a burning car lights the world on fire

I was published in an article for canada.com about the G20. “For others, the G20 party is all about that once-in-a-lifetime experience of feeling trapped in an apocalyptic-themed movie. Toronto blogger Casie Stewart lives a stone’s throw from the west end of the security zone, and says she plans on hosting up to 15 people from her “sniper view” apartment balcony.” [article] Shit got CRAY-CRAY yesterday. Car on fire, tear gas, guns, breaking shit blah blah. Good thing they spent ALL that dosh on police. Heard this AM they arested over 400 people. Who? Hopefully none of my peeps. It was totes faaaaaacked up. This is right outside my work @muchmusic.

look out world here i come

I used to say that all the time when  I was growing up. I always meant it too. I got a lotto max ticket and I hope I win something. Please put your energy out there that I do. Imagine how wonderful it will be to have my own internet show and share it all with you? Dream, dream big. Happy friday friends 🙂 This should get you grooving, new track from my friend Curtis Santiago. Enjoy!

meet my new baby girl: nanci with an eye

She’s a photographer. She likes to take pictures. She likes to have fun. I spy with my little eye, sweet Nanci creeping the G20 security zone. Good view of the red zone for photos. Bet there will be some interesting traffic around here. Highway exit getting to and from G20 or island airport. Nanci arrived last nightand was sent from a handsome one in Boston. She needed a good home so we adopted her. Her birth parents are in Japan and they run Fuji.  She’s really cute and tiny and luckily, not too frail or pricey. [We know how many camera’s I’ve been though since I started blogging. Oh man, it’s deff up near the 10’s.] She has polka dots tattooed almost the exact same as I do in green on my left arm. I know! Crazy eh? We are like besties now. I think we look really cute together. Nanci is also good friends with Zoey, Elsa & Bobby. We are a creative internet family. I love them all. Gonna post a couple pix from Florida later today, get ready for the sexiness that was my outfits is all I have to say. Working from home today & tomorrow cause of the G20, what an artventure that will be. ENJOY THE DAY. LOVE YOU. xo p.s. remember yesterday when we had an earthquake? No one knew that was gonna happen. Think, think about making the most of each day. You never know what will come your way from above, below or any direction. Positivity will be on your side if you are on it’s. <3

the earth moved me, shakey shake.

I think my first earthquake was in 1990 but i don’t really remember. Today I was sitting at my desk, working away when I noticed my monitor shaking and the table and me. Naturally, I tweeted. This is what happened… We’ve had crews taking down the MMVA stage from the roof and the street car goes by all the time so at first I didn’t think it was anything. When it went on for about 30 seconds I knew something was up. Pretty crazy. Even crazier that we got the first Super Swarm in CANADA. Woot.

thank you universe. this day gets better every minute.

Watching Kesha on stage right now and tweeting my heart out for @MuchMusic. Being here is blowing my mind. I’m soaking up every minute. Last night was so much fun I can’t even tell you.  Also, just got an email from Virgin American & Klout they are sending me to LA. I love life.  I love you.  I have so much to tell you but for now I just show you my dress from Peach Berserk made SPECIALLY for tonight’s MMVA’s. It’s going to be auctioned off after for a charity in Uganda. Tell you about that tomorrow. Have an awesome day.

i went to NXNEi & all i got was this awesome photo

Carly & I, at it again! Life of the party 🙂 Thanks to Jason for stopping to shoot us & thanks to my planning, I’ve managed to get my work done today and attend two sessions. The afternoon one I went to was all about Women in Social Media and I learned I need to start being on panels. I’ve got lots to share about internet, personal branding, stalkers, privacy. I’ve been doing this internet thing since  before ICQ & I started blogging on that old myspace in 2005. In other daily news, got an email today for the SXSW panel picker for 2011. Had a great call about a campaign with a new client. Confirmed I’m a judge for the Canadian Online Publishing Awards. Heading over to Peach Berserk before getting my hair done  to see about a special MMVA dress too. I’m really excited about life and my friends and my job. All this stuff just makes me wanna work harder and set BIGGER goals! LOOK OUT WORLD HERE I COME! FTW! I got to thinking about that MTV TJ job everyone is buzzing about and looked back to that article about me in the Metro back in Jan. Made me feel pretty lucky/proud of how much I’ve grown since then and what I’m doing at work. You can read it here if ya want. “You may not know it yet, but Casie Stewart is your new favourite online VJ, the latest update on that oh-so-’80s on-air media personality.”
