If you’ve never eaten at Sunflowers Café on West Peace Street in Raleigh, September would be a good time to visit. Our own Ann Neely will have show of her latest ‘Plein Air’ watercolors on display at Sunflowers through September.
All of these works are of Raleigh or North Carolina historic neighborhoods, painted ‘en plein air’ (outdoors).
- ‘500 Blount’ was juried into the Raleigh City Museum’s ‘Historic Landmarks of Raleigh’ show which ran through the summer
- ‘Devereux Street’ took first place at the 2010 Raleigh ‘Paint-Out’
All the work has museum quality framing, and is ready to display in your home. Ann will be there on First Friday and would love to see you there!

I’ve been lucky enough to have two blog articles written on me and my photography over at the Carolina Rollergirls blog in the past week.
I was recently interviewed by the Carolina Rollergirls: http://carolinarollergirls.wordpress.com/2010/08/18/joshuacraiginterview/
This is another post about the work I do for the league.http://carolinarollergirls.wordpress.com/2010/08/16/joshuacraig/

Yesterday, despite being tempted by the giant Chess and Connect Four games, I was able to make my way to the Triangle Interactive Marketing Association (TIMA) Lunch and Learn, “The Dollars and Sense of Social Media”, at the Marbles Kids Museum in downtown Raleigh.
I soon realized that those classic games were a great segue to the panel discussion that was to ensue. The topic addressed the way different players in the business world seek and document social media success. Each player in a game may have a different strategy or skill set to use, yet collectively everyone involved has an end goal – to win. Similarly, players in business approach strategy in their own way, but strive for achieving a common goal – success for the company, client or consumer.
Jeff Cohen, our social media marketing manager, moderated a diverse panel of professionals representing the agency, brand and platform service provider sides of business (Morgan Siem of Media Two Interactive, Phil Buckley of Sinclair Institute, and Adam Covati of Argyle Social, respectively).

Footage from 2010 All Levels Stepping Contest in Clemmons, NC on April 11 dancing with my instructor. We did not win, but it’s very good to see my progression from the contest a year ago when I’d first started (see When not doing Interactive).

This past weekend, my husband, faithful mutt and I participated in the K9-3K, a fundraiser for the Wake County SPCA. Something like 1,500 dogs and 3,200 people were on hand in Moore Square to raise money and awareness for homeless pets. In a word, insanity, but for a good cause — the event raised over $214,000!
