Diane & Anthony: You should check out this guy’s on-going experiment to build a farm in his backyard in Brooklyn. He had mixed, but admirable, results with 800 square feet of arable land. Imagine what you could do with 2.5 acres. There’s still time to raise a turkey for Thanksgiving day slaughter….just saying!!!! (My Empire of Dirt)

Friends w/disposable income and a sweet sense of humor: I wanna make a playdate to check out the Moscow Cats Theater. Playing with pussy jokes aside, I can’t see how this wouldn’t be money insanely well spent. (Moscow Cats Theater, scroll down)

Friends w/disposable income and an acerbic sense of humor: Tickets are currently sold out, but I’m checking back periodically to see if I can’t score a couple to Bill Maher’s stand up performance for the New York Comedy Festival. (New York Comedy Festival)

Friends w/o a lot of disposable income: Remember those initial charm necklaces that Daily Candy said were cool in the AM and totally over by that afternoon? Turns out they’re best if you don’t actually have to pay for them. Enter DCDEAL at check out and score a free charm with purchase. Prices seem to float around the $35-50, and I’m partial to the locket (so old school!) and the bird flew (skulls! bird! puns!). (Initial This)

Lo, Veronica, Heather, and cost-conscious oenophiles: Meet the man behind two-buck-Chuck. As predicted, he’s overly brash, um…corpulent, and pissing off Napa Valley. In short - he’s everything you’d ever hoped. (Two Buck Chuck Takes a Bite Out of Napa Valley)
