So my task of writing every day already lapsed. I didn't even last a week. And it wasn't for lack of trying, but rather lack of time. When we're actually out doing things, meeting up with friends, watching football games, I forget about things like my website and personal goals I set for myself. Until … Continue reading Welp.

What a Day.
Any by 'day,' I mean 24 hours. Coolest thing I've done in 2018: Attended a private rehearsal of Vivaldi's Four Seasons by the Charlotte Symphony, accompanied/led by Aisslinn Novsky. It was incredibly intimate—only 33 people in attendance—and so moving to get to watch the musicians rehearse beautiful music together. Really tops for me. Which set … Continue reading What a Day.
The ups and downs of workload.
During weeks or days that I'm incredibly busy, I always long for a job that's much more consistent. An actual 9 to 5. And it takes roughly halfway through a slow day before I realize the notion of me in a 9 to 5 is completely absurd and that I'd live that lifestyle for maybe … Continue reading The ups and downs of workload.
Diving Back In
It's been a while. I could list out a ton of reasons why I haven't been posting, but honestly it's because this hasn't been a priority. With madness in my office—from a 'reinvention' that landed me with a second job title that should really go to another full-time employee, to planning a beer release party … Continue reading Diving Back In
A week of drinks…and catching up
First things first, I received my copy of the September issue of LNM; the issue that had me pulling my hair out two weeks ago. And I'm already freaking out about October. I swear the cycle never stops. But nevertheless, I'm incredibly proud of this issue and so in love with how the cover … Continue reading A week of drinks…and catching up
The Good and The Bad
Let's start off with the good. My twitter has been blowing up since this morning because C5 ran my story about making beer today. I got attention from some of my writers, people I don't know, and beer industry professionals (looking at you, Tim Besecker, co-founder of Twin Elephant Brewing Co.). It's always a joy … Continue reading The Good and The Bad
More Brewing Shenanigans
On Monday, I met up with one of my awesome photographers, Jeremy Deal of LunahZon Photography, at Ass Clown Brewing Company to start another batch of our collaboration beer, and to check on the one I started last week. I also had to be a serious notetaker on this trip since CharlotteFive wanted a piece … Continue reading More Brewing Shenanigans
Weekend Wrap-up
There were no travels this week, sadly. Though I did start my weekend a bit early with an Out To Pasture saison from Heist Brewery during InstaBeerUpCLT. The meetup group is a mix of networking and beer and meets at a different brewery each month when it's held. The details are announced on Instagram … Continue reading Weekend Wrap-up
Coffee for Katies…Plus Some Actual Editing
So this morning I, evidently a prominent Charlotte Kaite, made my way to KatieCon, held at an awesome little coffeeshop in Charlotte called Rush. I had coffee with some Katies I knew, and a few that I didn't. Overall it was a cool event with an excuse to leave the office, and I got a … Continue reading Coffee for Katies…Plus Some Actual Editing
How Brainstorming Led to Beer
My current endeavor all started with a bacon, egg, and cheese croissant and a diet coke from Amelie's in NoDa. Our magazine team (two other editors, myself, our art director) decided to take a retreat day. Instead of going into the office we all met at Amelie's in the morning and went through a … Continue reading How Brainstorming Led to Beer
