Reports of dislocated shoulders at Creative Cities Summit skyrocketing!!
-
michellemalott #ccslex comunities will always survive because of the people who love them @pkageyama (Mmm, yes. Love does conquer all. The rust belt cities can attest to how love saved their manufacturing jobs and kept their populations from declining. Ohh, wait.)
-
EricPatrickMarr Thank you, @PhilHoloubek & Co, for quite a positive #ccslex experience thus far. Why? Many VERY profitable connections & conversations. 15 hours ago reply (Now we know the real reason he is in attendance. I knew it wasn't because he had any original or constructive (or even more importantly, realistic) ideas to share on how to grow Lexington.)
-
EricPatrickMarr I'mma fit'n ta get jiggy widdit at @weskeltner's "No Mercy" #ccslex party 12 hours ago reply (Oh dear God help us!)
-
EricPatrickMarr Mr. @weskeltner's "No Mercy" bash at Bakers360 was luhh-jit. @ConsultSherra is my new long-distance bff. #ccslex 8 hours ago reply (PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!)
-
robclendening Another great day at Creative Cities! Inspiration so thick you could cut it with a knife. #ccslex (He's so giddy with inspiration, you almost hate to tell him he's full of shit)
EJXD2, I have no idea who this man is, but he's my hero:
- EJXD2 Love reading all the tweets from #ccslex & all the backslapping between the participants. "You're so brilliant." "Marry me!" #LexKy 12 hours ago reply (What can I add to this? Nothing.
- EJXD2 I hope the #ccslex goodie bags included knee pads and dental dams #LexKy 11 hours ago reply (Now that's hitting a little below the belt. /rimshot //groan)
- Lshevawn @jupiter2012 True Now What, Lex? is free & opn 2 ALL who want 2 make #Lex better. LOTS of inspiration/ideas, however, WILL come from #CCSlex (Was this English? A coherent thought? All I know about this woman is based on her tweet yesterday about the worthlessness of the space program, so basically I know she is an idiot. And uneducated.)
Jen Martinez:
- jen_martinez @EricPatrickMarr 2mrw morning sounds great... i'll be there the whole morning... i'll have a black timbuk2 bag... cu then! #ccslex (A black timbuk2 bag! No way! You'll totally stand out in crowd of creative class peeps with one of those!)
- scottclark The coolest thing about #ccslex? The hallway discussions w/forward thinkers. 13 hours ago reply (he apparently likes talking to real people in real-time too, good for him. I hear Ben Franklin invented elctricity after a hallway discussion with members of the creative class of 1760.)
-
CaitlinatIDandA Wish I could begin every day with @ngcrebecca's presentation from this morning. Man, she's just awesome. #ccslex 12 hours ago reply (I wish I could wake up every morning with a daily motivational tweet from a member of the creative class too. /sarcasm)
- robmorris2: Lexington needs to focus dev't toward creating the city as experience instead of city as collection of things. #ccslex half a minute ago from TweetDeck (Huh? Is "Lexington" a person? Does 'it' build things? Who are we talking about here? This sounds like average uniformed griping: "Somebody ought to do something about X!")

Creative Cities Summit Lexington. BEWARE the invasion of the creative class!!!!
Rob Morris complains:
robmorris2 Amy Pearl: Portland a great city, but lot of talkers, not so many doers (kinda like Lex - http://bit.ly/8MS3WE) #ccslex (Yeah, Rob. Less tweeting about not doing and more doing.)
Steve Austin campaigns that:
- PohlRosaPohl #ccslex Steve Austin: let's "make driving the new smoking." about 1 hour ago reply (Hmm, did Steve Austin think that when he designed the development at Winthrop and Man O' War for King O' Sprawl Jim Hughes)
The CCSBuzz feed contradicts itself:
- EricPatrickMarr "Having an opinion, trusting your opinion, supporting your opinion with facts - that's the best new media." #ccslex (paraphrase) 26 minutes ago reply (buzz word, cliche, buzz word. SEE, I MADE A POINT!!!!)
- EricPatrickMarr Old media defends their editorialistic genius, but The People are PLENTY smart enough to discern between quality New Media and crap. #ccslex 31 minutes ago reply (I'm trying Eric, though you are helping me to see the difference)

How would you spend tax dollars in your council district?
- widening of Alumni Drive from Tates Creek to New Circle.
- addition of a neighborhood pool at the park across the street from me (hey, I can dream)
- lighting of the multi-use trail in the same park
- neighborhood gardens
- district specific Reforest the Bluegrass locations as well as a street tree program to enhance streetscapes with trees.
- are there any bike lanes in the 5th district?
