party with TO’s coolest peeps? obviously.

I’m inviting you to come out and party with me and a whole slew of TO’s coolest, nerdiest, smartest and best looking people who love social media being social.  This is the Feb. 2010 edition of #GenyTO and we’ve partnered with #HoHOTO to form #haihaiTO. Gosh darnit, just saying that sounds fun! Lots of people are chatting about it, look right here for proof. We’re donating proceeds to those poor folks in Haiti. You think the snow here is bad? HA! Imagine your whole house and life in rubble with no place to go. Ya, doesn’t seem so cold out now does it? HaiHaiTO is TOMORROW, Thursday, February 11 starting at 7 p.m. at the Courthouse, 57 Adelaide Street East. Lets have a fun night and do some good while we’re at it. I’ll be there early, like 7ish. If you’re not in TO but wanna be, buy a ticket just for fun because giving feels so good inside. Get your tickets here and NOW!

things like this make it not seem so bad

Surprise write up about me & social media in a Geek Girl feature from Two Geeks and a Blog.  Bob who wrote it said “Holy cow!  Casie Stewart may be a Jedi!” and quoted Star Wars. He also quoted “a blog is an engine” which was really nice because I like that one and it didn’t even get any comments. Found these today too. Didn’t know they existed, Search Stories from Google. This is called Newbie, it’s a grandma embracing technology. Oh Google, always warming my heart. You know just how to talk nerdy to me. You press all the right buttons. I’ve decided not to be so upset about my stuff, shit happens.  No sense wasting time feeling sorry for myself. I’ll get it sorted this week and you never know, it just might turn up.  ♥

TGIF: OMFG, we got a situation on our hands!

Twitter: Twitter is really where I turn for trusted answers, before Google, can you believe that?! Jeff cracked his iphone screen and I found out just how to handle it right there in like 2 seconds. If  you’re ever bored, go read mine, it’s a 24/7 source of entertainment. Google: Three words: GYM. TANNING. LAUNDRY. Tomorrow night Nat got a booth at Wetbar and Bre , Michelle, I are gonna beat up the beat baby with Mike “the situation” and DJ Pauly D. OMFG. Look out. Internet: Saw this on our lovely little MuchMusic blog, Ke$ha and some friends hijacked the Hollywood sign. Amazing.  I wanna do that one day! FTW! Facebook: Urbandictionary Week:  look up your name & post in status. This is mine…can you believe it? Hahah. Casie: A Very Sexy Woman, Who is very nice to everyone and always knows the right thing to do. She always makes people have the most amazing feeling in the world regardless of how they are feeling in the first place. “Casie is the most amazing girl in the world” Happy Friday.  Make it a good one tonight!

OH: stop marketing, start engaging

First of all, OH = Overheard on Twitter. I layered my tights today as you can see, it’s the perfect way to incorporate fishnets into a cold winter day. Looking forward to trying it with my red guys. I overheard this phrase last night at a session for Social Media Week Toronto held by Scott Stratton. He runs  a company called Unmarketing, he’s  someone I look up to in the world of social media marketing, this guy really ‘gets it’. I met Scott about this time last year and he’s grown to over 47,000 twitter followers since then. He’s got a book deal now and the tag line for the book and his whole thing is “stop marketing, start engaging“. I learned a heap of stuff last night that’s gonna help me in my job at MuchMTV as well as furthering my own personal brand. Here are some interesting stats for you: There’s more crazy where this came from but, I shall save it for another day!

M.BL & SP: masters in blogging & self photography

Tonight I’m attending Social Media Trends 2010 & Beyond for Social Media Week TO. It’s sold out and hosted by Scott Stratton, aka Unmarketing on Twitter. Looking forward to seeing heaps of faces that I’ve really only been seeing via FB & Twitter for weeks. Might meet a few new peeps, hope to put a face to some of the names I’ve been following also. Work is good. Head is in check. Heart is happy. Sun is shining about as bright as the gold lightning Betsy Johnson tights I wore today. Zing! Have a great day 🙂
