MFNW: I Made it Out!

Long before deciding that attending Musicfest Northwest sounded like a good idea, I once fell asleep at a Dinosaur Jr. concert. Everyone seemed amazed that I was able to sleep through the incredibly loud music, but with a little bit of vodka, it just sounded like white noise to me. And I can honestly sleep anywhere. So it should come as no surprise that I also nodded off at the Bob Mould show last night. This time though, I'm saying it was far less pathetic. My people! First of all, we went to another show first. Fred Armisen at the Crystal Ballroom. If I was really choosing my shows by…

The Making of My Best Instagram Ever

Recently I posted the ultimate instagram. You may have seen it if you're one of my over 500 followers, but if not, check your feed now! You're not following me? Jesus it's @brookegeery. Anyway, it's the same photo as above, but you'll need to see it on Instagram to grasp the amazing filtering choice I made (this one was edited in boring old Photoshop.) I know this is the best instagram ever because I can see how many people like it (the ultimate sign of success) and at press time it had upwards of 12 likes. Because of that, I decided a making of the 'gram post was in order…

The RE-BRANDING: This blog is about Food Carts Now!

So you may have guessed I got bored with trying to eat lunch on Hawthorne every day. It was expensive, we ran out of restaurants we weren't specifically avoiding, and oh yeah, I moved my office to felony flats. Well, technically we've rebranded it the "Flavel Arts District" hoping it'll catch on like Alberta did, but apparently white trash people are harder to gentrify. Anyway! I was just in a heated debate with Stan about our two nearest Food Cart pod locations (actually it wasn't heated at all, we agreed) and realized, I could start food blogging again, but about cart pods. I'm way better at keeping these things going…

Oh Hai! Social Networks are Driving me Insane

I've been neglecting this blog for all this time. As the "queen of Internet snowboarding" I really should be trying harder to keep my social presence up, but I heard blogging is dead. I mean, follow me on Instagram, Twitter, Vine, Snapchat and if you want we can play Words with Friends. Anyway, I've been so busy trying to promote Yobeat with all this social networks that I've been finding it hard to create content. You probably haven't noticed, I can post videos with my eyes closed these days, and I've had Stan doing stuff. But just so you know, I have been on Auto pilot for months. I think…

So You Want to Sue Me…

Every so often, I write something offensive. Something that's just mean, or uncalled for, or whatever. This was not one of those times. No, this time I wrote a review of a children's book about snowboarding formatted as a third-grade book report and purposely written to sound that way. Well, the publishers of said book apparently didn't like my review. Rather than just ignoring it, which would have been the appropriate response, they sent me the following email: Hello Brooke Geery, I am a legal representative for the Adventure Zoo Crew. Recently we found that you wrote a very dishonest article on one of our books "Sammy the Shredder". Not…

Why Facebook Likes (still) Don’t Matter

I recently did a little stint at a big corporation. For the sake of keeping it tight, I won't say who it was. Anyway, one of the big "initiatives" was gaining Facebook likes. Having a lot of fans, after all, greatly increases your ability to spam them with your messages. Anyway, all sorts of different methods were used, from advertising, to posting quality content, to actually responding to people. And it worked, they got lots of likes. But ever since last week's Kitchen Nightmares seemingly ruined any chance of Amy's Baking Company succeeding, the impending facebook melt down and ultimate social media faux pas has been quite entertaining. But you…

Nature’s Magesty: The Olympic Peninsula

It was my 3rd 29th birthday last week, and since it's the one holiday a year that's all about me, that means I get to do whatever I want! This year I wanted to drop everything and take an impromptu trip to the Olympic Peninsula. Even though I've almost lived in the Northwest long enough to be considered a Northwesterner, this is one corner of the country I was yet to explore. There was a sign that said "rustic retreat" but despite Jared's greatest fears, the Manitou lodge had both electricity and showers. We stayed two nights in Forks, where they filmed Twilight and had I actually seen the movie,…

Now I am fully aware that this sort of thing is considered SPAM and I've already been told, "I don't do Facebook contest stuff" once. I get it. I watch the local news too about how your social presence can RUIN YOUR LIFE FOREVER. But here's the truth. If you're sitting in front of a computer…

Brooke and Joey’s Epic Adventure

Rather than have my own children, I've decided to adopt. And rather than risk it with a baby that could turn out to be a total piece of shit, I'm just adopting Joey. He's 17, really good at skateboarding, and generally stoked. This video is the first stop on our Saturday skate tour (#holidayweekendsareforsuckers) and if you want to see pictures of the second stop at the Brooklyn Street Skate Spot, which turned out to be way cooler, check em out on Yobeat.

This year I wanted to drop everything and take an impromptu trip to the Olympic Peninsula. Even though I've almost lived in the Northwest long enough to be considered a Northwesterner, this is one corner of the country I was yet to explore. There was a sign that said "rustic retreat" but despite Jared's greatest fears, the Manitou lodge had both electricity and showers. We stayed two nights in Forks, where they filmed Twilight and had I actually seen the movie,…

Vote for ME!!!

If you hate reading, just go click here or the image above and vote! I've never actually participated in an Internet popularity contest. I've run plenty of them and promoted plenty of them, but this is a first. Me and my writing are up for an award and geez whiz, I really wanna win! Now I am fully aware that this sort of thing is considered SPAM and I've already been told, "I don't do Facebook contest stuff" once. I get it. I watch the local news too about how your social presence can RUIN YOUR LIFE FOREVER. But here's the truth. If you're sitting in front of a computer…

Brooke and Joey’s Epic Adventure

Rather than have my own children, I've decided to adopt. And rather than risk it with a baby that could turn out to be a total piece of shit, I'm just adopting Joey. He's 17, really good at skateboarding, and generally stoked. This video is the first stop on our Saturday skate tour (#holidayweekendsareforsuckers) and if you want to see pictures of the second stop at the Brooklyn Street Skate Spot, which turned out to be way cooler, check em out on Yobeat.

MFNW: I Made it Out!

Long before deciding that attending Musicfest Northwest sounded like a good idea, I once fell asleep at a Dinosaur Jr. concert. Everyone seemed amazed that I was able to sleep through the incredibly loud music, but with a little bit of vodka, it just sounded like white noise to me. And I can honestly sleep anywhere. So it should come as no surprise that I also nodded off at the Bob Mould show last night. This time though, I'm saying it was far less pathetic. My people! First of all, we went to another show first. Fred Armisen at the Crystal Ballroom. If I was really choosing my shows by…

The Making of My Best Instagram Ever

Recently I posted the ultimate instagram. You may have seen it if you're one of my over 500 followers, but if not, check your feed now! You're not following me? Jesus it's @brookegeery. Anyway, it's the same photo as above, but you'll need to see it on Instagram to grasp the amazing filtering choice I made (this one was edited in boring old Photoshop.) I know this is the best instagram ever because I can see how many people like it (the ultimate sign of success) and at press time it had upwards of 12 likes. Because of that, I decided a making of the 'gram post was in order…

The RE-BRANDING: This blog is about Food Carts Now!

So you may have guessed I got bored with trying to eat lunch on Hawthorne every day. It was expensive, we ran out of restaurants we weren't specifically avoiding, and oh yeah, I moved my office to felony flats. Well, technically we've rebranded it the "Flavel Arts District" hoping it'll catch on like Alberta did, but apparently white trash people are harder to gentrify. Anyway! I was just in a heated debate with Stan about our two nearest Food Cart pod locations (actually it wasn't heated at all, we agreed) and realized, I could start food blogging again, but about cart pods. I'm way better at keeping these things going…

Oh Hai! Social Networks are Driving me Insane

I've been neglecting this blog for all this time. As the "queen of Internet snowboarding" I really should be trying harder to keep my social presence up, but I heard blogging is dead. I mean, follow me on Instagram, Twitter, Vine, Snapchat and if you want we can play Words with Friends. Anyway, I've been so busy trying to promote Yobeat with all this social networks that I've been finding it hard to create content. You probably haven't noticed, I can post videos with my eyes closed these days, and I've had Stan doing stuff. But just so you know, I have been on Auto pilot for months. I think…

So You Want to Sue Me…

Every so often, I write something offensive. Something that's just mean, or uncalled for, or whatever. This was not one of those times. No, this time I wrote a review of a children's book about snowboarding formatted as a third-grade book report and purposely written to sound that way. Well, the publishers of said book apparently didn't like my review. Rather than just ignoring it, which would have been the appropriate response, they sent me the following email: Hello Brooke Geery, I am a legal representative for the Adventure Zoo Crew. Recently we found that you wrote a very dishonest article on one of our books "Sammy the Shredder". Not…

Why Facebook Likes (still) Don’t Matter

I recently did a little stint at a big corporation. For the sake of keeping it tight, I won't say who it was. Anyway, one of the big "initiatives" was gaining Facebook likes. Having a lot of fans, after all, greatly increases your ability to spam them with your messages. Anyway, all sorts of different methods were used, from advertising, to posting quality content, to actually responding to people. And it worked, they got lots of likes. But ever since last week's Kitchen Nightmares seemingly ruined any chance of Amy's Baking Company succeeding, the impending facebook melt down and ultimate social media faux pas has been quite entertaining. But you…
