Freelance weekend

So Shellie's finally back from teaching the little ones of Taiwan how to speak English...I don't know how she did it. She does have some hysterical stories though. We're both on the jobless front now, holding pow-wows via phone about job openings we've found and ones we're scrambling to apply for.

But the real fun begins tomorrow, when in the a.m. we head to Dallas for some heavy-duty freelancing. Dallas.citysearch.com launches Sept. 1 under the mighty hands of our ex co-worker Nathan...bar and restaurant content is desperately needed so we're off to take the town by storm. *Who am I kidding - I haven't taken towns by storm for quite a while now.* I'm in the process of developing a bar and restaurant "research" strategy - one that encompasses all 10 locations within our 24-36 hour visiting period. I bet we come away with some stories to tell. Should be interesting...

*Update*

So I've spent the afternoon sketching out a course of action for this whirlwind weekend. Turns out that between the two of us, we've been assigned a bizarre array of locations. A high-dollar restaurant with a dress code (in true Dallas fashion), a hookah lounge, a restaurant where the whole menu consists of dishes on skewers, a couple seemingly cool bars, and my personal favorite, a techno dance club. I can't help but laugh when I imagine all the ways this weekend could turn ugly. Anyway, I should go prepare my travel wardrobe. I know I've got some extra glow sticks around here somewhere...
