Hello All,

I have some sad news (at least for those of you who expressed interested in the Chocobeer event) - the event, which I initially thought was going to happen on February 7th, has to be postponed!! Unfortunately the venue fell through at the last minute, but I am working with our Chocolate Expert, Dana Zemack, and sponsors, Merchant Du Vin and Cote Dor, to find a suitable venue in the very near future (right now our fingers are crossed for end of February/beginning of March).

I just wanted to keep you updated. I’ll post information on the site and relay it through email as details become finalized. Thanks for your patience!

Boston’s Beehive Celebrates 1st Annual Mardi Gras Celebration in Authentic New Orleans Style!

WHAT: Laissez les bons temps rouler!” is a Cajun expression meaning “Let the good times roll!” It strongly conveys the “joie de vivre” (”joy of living”) attitude that pervades the Beehive’s first annual Mardi Gras celebration being held on Fat Tuesday, February 5th, 2008. The South End hot spot has spared no expense in making this year’s festivities as authentic as possible. Party go’er’s can look forward to the groovin’ gumbo sounds of the Nat Simpkins/Henri Smith Band, that will be sure to have you singing and swinging all night long. Henri Smith moved to the Boston area shortly after being displaced by Hurricane Katrina, a portion of proceeds from the evening’s event will go to the Tipitina’s Foundation; a New Orleans based charity that provides support for displaced musicians to keep the Big Easy Swingin’. Further Indulge in Chef Rebecca Newell’s Cajun inspired Ala Carte menu featuring Oysters Rockefeller, Shrimp Etouffee Vol-Au-Vent, Jambalaya and finish your meal with the Beehive’s Epiphany King Cake, including your very own miniature baby decoration attached. The Beehive’s all-star mixologists will be serving up special Beehive Hurricane’s ($10), Spicy Oyster Shooters ($5), with vodka and Tabasco, and the Sazerac Cocktail ($10), made with Sazerac rye, Kübler Absinthe and Peychaud bitters. Kübler Superieure is a well-known brand of absinthe, distilled in the Val-de-Travers region of Switzerland, also known as the birthplace of absinthe. Attendees will be lavished with plenty of beads necklaces, masks, and the traditional Mardi Gras doubloons coins for throwing. There is no cover charge for this event.

This February, with the help of chocolate expert Dana Zemack, I’m organizing a chocolate and beer tasting party.

What could be better than that? Prizes maybe, but don’t worry - we’ve got that covered.

Stay tuned for more details!

With the help of chocolate expert Dana Zemack from The Tasty Show, me and the whole Boston Blog Events venture, we’re putting together a night of Belgian chocolate and Belgian beer and we’re going to find out just how fantastic they taste together.

I’ll put you on the list! )Just make sure you specify somewhere in the email or subject like to add you to the event updates list!) jenny@bostonblogevents.com.

Ok I just spilled my entire LARGE coffee (without having had any). It’s time to go to sleep for about 5 days straight now.

Thanks everyone!

BOSTON — October 9, 2007—The greater Boston area’s most prolific Bloggers will gather at Boston Blogtoberfest 2007, taking place Thursday, October 25.

This second annual event, which will run from 6-8 pm in the lower level of the Pour House, 907 Boylston Street, Boston. Boston Blogtoberfest 2007 is the creation of Boston Blogger - Jenny Frazier. The event is meant to provide a chance for fellow Boston bloggers to put down the mice, step away from the keyboard, and meet some of their favorite local bloggers in a casual, face-to-face setting.

Frazier started the event last year after randomly meeting a fellow Boston blogger, posting about the event and then receiving tremendous feedback from the Boston blog community that it would be great to have an organized event where bloggers could all meet and share experiences.

“It’s different than most of the social networking events in the area because it’s not set up to be about anything. Last year some people networked, some people were looking for jobs, and some people simply wanted to have a few cocktails and gossip! It’s great because people can make it about whatever they want,” says Frazier of the event.

The event, which will offer free attendance, is seeking sponsorship donations from fellow bloggers or local companies willing to provide added value to the Boston Blogtoberfest experience. Businesses or individuals who would like to make donations of either money, food or drink are asked to contact the event’s organizer, Jenny Frazier at jenny@bostonblogevents.com. Additional information, including lists of registered attendees and sponsors to date can be found at: http://bostonblogevents.com/blogtoberfest
