A Peep O'Day in Princeton? (yep)
March 15, 2010

It's a house at the SW corner of Mercer and Olden Lane.

Laurence Hutton (y'know, the dramatic critic) lived in the "Peep O'Day" and gave it the incredible name after he expanded the property. Mark Twain actually visited him there! (So did Helen Keller!)

Start thinking about taking a bike tour once this weather breaks! We get off the beaten path where I can show you the homes and hangouts of all sorts of literary, scientific, academic, artistic and business Princeton Greats!

At Peep O'Day I'll tell you about Mr. Hutton's correspondence with Samuel Clemens and the benediction he received from Helen Keller!

Einstein's Wife Bought Sexy Lingerie on Nassau Street? (yep)
March 15, 2010

BREAKING NEWS .......

ELSA EINSTEIN SENT HER SECRETARY, HELENE DUKAS, TO PURCHASE LINGERIE ON NASSAU STREET.

THE SUPPLIER? EDITH'S Lingerie on Nassau Street

(Edith was from Hungary and she and Helene liked to talk about the old country .......)

I see another stop on the Einstein Re-Enactor Tour next year!

Maybe we can get "Elsa" in a nightgown!

(You guys think I make this up but my mom's neighbor worked at Edith's for over 12! Everyone knows the best scoop in Princeton comes from it's merchants!)

Princeton Pi Day & Einstein Birthday Party Turns Out The Big Numbers!
March 14, 2010

I'm not gonna lie, the weather broke my confidence this morning BUT THEN.....

when I saw the Pie Judging Competition attracted Congressman Rush Holt (yes, he said "hi" to me....well, kind of ... if you were there he did that nervous "stop" wave to me, but still ..... HE WAVED!), and Gareth (pictured here) recited over 100 digits in Pi, I knew

Princeton Pi Day wasn't just a cute one time event..... this event had the Peoples' Choice written ALL OVER IT!

Then, the Plasma Physics Lab was PACKED beyond comprehension, plus, a virtual MOB was involved in the Pie Throwing Event - (sorry, we'll get that a bit more under control next year!)

THEN, hundreds stayed to see the winner of The Einstein Look A Like Event!

So what brought the insane number of crowds to downtown Princeton? Was it the FREE ads donated by Princeton Packet? Was it the Trenton Times article? Was it Town Topics? Was it the cover of US 1? the Trentonian? Princeton KIDS? Shutterbuggeek on Twitter? We don't know but we congratulate all the amazing media for coverage of an amazing celebration of our first annual Princeton Pi Day & Einstein Birthday Party!

The Surprising Thing Is ..... I Don't Think She Did This for the Potential Blog Post....
March 13, 2010

We're one day from the first annual Princeton Pi Day .....will there be mistakes?

Y'know, I'm gonna go with MAYBE NOT!

Why the confidence?

I gotta local network of vendors as strong as steel!

Last night, I contacted my rep from Heartland Payment Services. I had run out of paper for my credit card machine!

Kefi knew Princeton Pid Day was a bit of a stressor so she delivered spare cartridges before my bedtime!

Now, if that's not service, I don't know what is ......

(It goes without saying there's no way Princeton Tour Company is their #1 money maker!)

Thanks Heartland! You make me feel like your #1 client!

Don't get me started on the help I get from JOYCARDS, Princeton Online, McClean Agency, Kopp's Cycle Shoppe, Triangle Printing, McCaffrey's and Craft Cleaners ...... what? They both deliver! That's how I cover more ground!
