Oktoberfest at Tempe Town Lake is this weekend! With the weather looking good and the huge list of fun things being offered, who could say no?
The Tempe Oktoberfest will be held Friday, October 2nd through Sunday, October 4th at Tempe Town Lake. Of course, the easiest way to get to all of the cool events at Town Lake ( in our opinion) is for you to take the light rail to 3rd Street and Mill. The FREE light rail park and ride lots make the trip very convenient.
This year’s event looks to have something for everyone. There will be a ton of kid-friendly activities with Kinderfest at Oktoberfest* along with non-stop music and entertainment for all. In fact, this year’s music lineup is being billed as their “best ever” with “20 bands on 4 stages.”
Other features and “Fest Facts” for the Oktoberfest include:
Six Beer Gardens
Splash Park/Rock Wall
Bungee Jump
Six Beer Gardens
Bavarian Bakery
Carnival Rides
Six Beer Gardens
Two Wine Gardens
Non-Stop Polka (whatever that means)
Six Beer Gardens
FREE admission is always good, too.
The Tempe Oktoberfest will be held:
Friday 10/2/09 from 5pm – midnight
Saturday 10/3/09 from 10am – midnight
Sunday 10/4/09 from 10am - 6pm
If you want to save a few bucks, “special family pricing allows for the purchase of 25 food / activity tickets for just $20.00 during the following hours: Friday: 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm Saturday: 10:00 am – 6:00 pm and Sunday: 10:00 am – 6:00 pm.” ( normally, tickets are $1.00 each )
*Kinderfest hours are slightly different than the rest of the event. Please see their web site for details.
Tempe Town Lake is located at the North end of the Mill Avenue district and is home to all kinds of cool events, festivals and concerts year round. If you want to keep up on some of the fun things to do in and around the Mill Avenue and Lake district, follow along by reading the Rail Life Blog.
Have a great weekend!
I have mentioned it before, but I LOVE DocuSign for electronic signatures. Talk about a great product for our real estate business - it just can't be beat. In fact, I have also mentioned that DocuSign is so cool, even my mother-in-law loves it. :-)
Another thing I love is networking and yes, "social-networking" is a great way to network with clients, business professionals and the media.
Over the past couple of months, I have enjoyed "meeting" An Bui from Docusign. Actually, An and I have never met in person, we have met on-line, mainly through her DocuSign Twitter updates. When I heard that An would be coming to town and that I would have a chance to meet her, I thought, "how cool is that!"
Of course, our good friend, Calie Waterhouse, has her party planning hat on and has offered to help put together a "Tweet, Meet & Greet" for this Wednesday, September 9th at the Depot Cantina in Tempe.
From Calie's blog post about the event, we get the scoop...
"An's Tweet, Meet & Greet is open to all locals (and twits), however, we do need you to RSVP and let us know you're coming (via the Facebook link below). Feel free to help us spread the word, as well. A quick blog post would be radisome (radial + awesome). Please be sure to include these links:

So, I am looking forward to meeting An and hope to see YOU at the Depot Cantina in Tempe this Wednesday at 5:00pm until ??. The Depot is just West of Mill Avenue at 300 S Ash Ave Tempe, AZ 85281 near the Mill Avenue District.
** Please note: All are welcome to join us! ( not just real estate "geeks!" ) **
If you know me, you know that I love hanging out with family and friends. If you are family or consider me your friend, I would love to invite you to a fun Friday night at Chase field!Heck, even if we aren't friends yet, I hope you will join us.

Recently, the Metro Light Rail board of directors voted to extend the weekend hours of light rail in Arizona on Friday and Saturday nights. This extension allows Phoenix light Rail riders to ride until after 2am on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Given the fact that the extension is said to be implemented on a "trial period" of one year, a group of people have decided to help with an awareness campaign for the newly appointed hours.
Enter "Night Rail" which is being held tonight, 7/31! From the Rail Life blog we see that...
"If you are a fan of the extended light rail hours, a friend of business owners along the line or just a fan of having fun, join us for Night Rail. Several groups will be getting together along the line throughout the evening and then meeting at the Roosevelt Station at midnight to show support for the extended hours. After midnight, we will head to a couple of nearby places before calling it a night. You can join our friends at “Light Rail Friday Night” who will be meeting at Rula Bula on Mill from 6-9 pm. After that, people will be meeting (10:00 pm) at Monti’s and at Maizie’s, which is just south of the light rail station at Central and Camelback."
The response from the Night Rail blog post has been great with many local groups picking up and showing their support. A few examples of blog posts and media interest are...
CenPhoTV is promoting it a ton!
AZCentral picked up the Night Rail story
The Phoenix Cycle Chick blog is rockin' Night Rail
Heck, even radio coverage for Night Rail
So, if you want to have some fun, Light Rail style, be sure to check out this first Night Rail event!
Most people know, the world is a Twitter. This social networking platform has MANY uses for many types of people. The effectiveness of it's use depends on the effectiveness of the person sending the "tweets." Of course, there is worthless dribble on Twitter but there is also a TON of breaking news, community specific information and opportunities to communicate with people you may have never had the opportunity to meet "in person."
I am really looking forward to this Wednesday's TweetUp in Tempe at the Sign of the Whale. Why? Because I know it will be a FUN time and a great chance to network with some really talented Tempe business owners. This TweetUp is being promoted by Jack Smith of The Social Latte which is a great resource for anyone interested in Social Media. As a Tempe resident, Jack really has a good feel for our community and is always looking to give back, help small business owners and have some fun. Jack and I worked together on helping the Tempe Chamber of Commerce implement social media as a business strategy. The Tempe Chamber is a great Chamber of Commerce and some of their members will be joining us as well. People like Nick Miner, a commercial real estate broker that I have enjoyed meeting at other Chamber events. The guy knows Tempe! I believe Joan Jakel, a very talented Tempe business attorney, past "Business Woman of the year," personal friend and all around great gal will be joining us as well as a bunch of other really cool people.
From the invite we hear... "We'll have a private room with Happy Hour pricing from 5-7 for networking and socializing and then I'll be bartender from 7p - 10p with DJ Mike..." More info on the twtvite page!
All are welcome! So, come see "Jack the bartender," have some fun, hang out with some really cool "Tweeps" and write it off as a business expense! Ok, scratch the business expense thing because I'm not your accountant or a CPA so, just come have fun!
When: July 8th
Where: Sign of the Whale 1706 E Warner Rd Tempe, AZ
Happy Hour and networking, 5-7pm - DJ and heckling of Jack while tending bar... 7-10pm.
