The Lakewood Blue Claws is hosting their 2nd Annual Summer Shore Tweet-Up. Not on twitter? Well you're probably thinking, "Why do I need to know what people are doing at every moment of the day." While that might be a good question, I think you will find that Twitter goes beyond just the minute by minute play of everyone's day. Twitter has taken its 140 character maximum and linked liked-minded people, enabled people to network at an approachable level, provide a platform to share ideas and gain knowledge, the list is endless. For those already intimately involved in Twitter you know its value and understand the fun in meeting people you exchange with everyday. So, Tuesday, June 29th is your day. Come out and meet not only the Jersey Shore Divas (which is not that exciting) but tons of other local tweeters-twitters (whichever is your poison).  For $10 you can have 9-innings of networking fun, baseball, a full dinner (hot dog, chips and a soda) and maybe a couple of beers under the summer sky. Does it get any better than that? Didn't think so. For more information on where to purchase tickets and sign-up for the event, go here.

The Jersey Shore Business Resource Group (Linked IN Group) is sponsoring their 2nd networking happy hour at Rellas Tavern in Brielle. Last go around the event was held at Rooney's and well over 150 people attended. It's a great opportunity to network with an array of local folks, exchange business cards, have a drink, free eats and a great time. Feel welcome to come early, come late, just be sure you swing by on your way home and make a few new connections. Divas will be onsite and look forward to meeting you!

To RSVP, follow this link. If you plan on attending and would like to submit a door prize, please contact Michael Cooperman or Josh Feinberg. 

On September 24, 2009 Officer Jonathan Wilson of the Lakewood Police Department was among a group of officers executing a high risk search warrant. Upon entering the home, Officer Wilson along with other officers, were shot. Officer Wilson endured multiple shot wounds, one of which hit his face and left him blind in his left eye. While his life was spared, he has been out of work since the incident, putting a huge financial strain on his wife and 4 children.

On Wednesday, June 16th, as part of the Lakewood Law Enforcement Night, $3 of each ticket purchased will be donated to the Wilson family. The Lakewood Police Department PBA Local #71 will also be selling bracelets and t-shirts and donating all the proceeds to the family.

Take an evening to go enjoy some good summer baseball and help support a local cause! You can purchase tickets by calling 732-901-7000, online at www.BlueClaws.com, or at the box office at the stadium.

We know it's been a long time since our posted a blog post. Not only has our blog been very sick but we have been busy trying to get our new site up and running.  But we were able to patch up the blog until the official launch.

On April 30th I was invited to discuss Jersey Shore Divas on Craig Mahoney's increasingly more famous podcasts. Craig Mahoney, how can one explain him. Well first he is an extraordinary artist who specializes in sports art. He is a Yankee fan (as a MET fan I just gagged a bit), loves beer, comic books, women, plays a mean guitar and is really a super guy. (there is much more but you'll have to check out his site to learn more)

As a self employed artist, he has taken a very progressive approach to marketing not only his business but also to promote his own personal brand. He is active on Twitter and Facebook and has received an amazing amount of attention through his daily comments full of crass and honest humor. A day is not complete without one chuckle from something Craig has said. Most recently he began posting daily podcasts. At first it was just him discussing hot topics and posting them on this blog. Since then he has had some impressive guests and will be announcing some sponsors soon. Kudos to you Craig!

During our podcast we talk about how Jersey Shore Divas came about, Jersey Shore Restaurant Week, local eating and waterholes and we also hear some juicy gossip about Craig. Click here to listen and be sure to check his blog daily for more podcasts.

~~~Thanks Craig for the invite. It was a lot of fun.
