In case you were wondering...

Our other main contributor, @marrina is on vaca in Bosnia, visiting her family. She'll be back on the 23rd but you can check out some of her pix on Facebook if you miss her.

Looks like she's having fun, but we're not sure about Fillman. LOL!

Jeremy Messersmith via MN Original

It's no secret we are completely in love with the musical stylings of one Jeremy Messersmith. MN Original has just posted a great video of J.M. doin' his thing at the CD release party for The Reluctant Graveyard, earlier this summer. So beautiful in all ways!

Four Nights in Loring POSTPONED for tonight!

Spread the word! Due to potentially crappy weather, the second installment of Four Nights in Loring is being postponed (rescheduled date TBD).

City Pages' Andrea Swensson says via the Facebook event:

With severe thunderstorms on the horizon, we have decided to postpone tonight's "4 Nights in Loring" event with Marijuana Deathsquads and Fargo. Though a dark and brooding evening seems fitting for tonight's Loring Park event, we'd rather keep everyone safe from what the weather service is predicting to be a tumultuous evening. We will be announcing the rescheduled date soon.

In the meantime, we are still hosting a party at Nick and Eddie tonight, rain or shine, featuring bluesy rockers City on the Make. We've also just added DJ Ken Hannigan from Anthem Heart to the bill, so it's sure to be a fun time! There is no cover for tonight's gig, so come on down.

http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=124436800935329&ref=ts

Please do what you can to help get the word out about tonight's changes so folks can plan accordingly. Thanks everyone!

So there you have it.

UPDATE: The event has been rescheduled for August 31st in Loring Park.

Pop singer wears Christopher Straub to Teen Choice Awards

Fledgling pop singer Brittani Senser wore a Christopher Straub F/W 2010 dress to the 2010 Teen Choice Awards last night (airing tonight on Fox). She also brought Bristol Palin baby daddy Levi Johnston as her date. Apparently, the Minnesota-born singer (and daughter of former Vikings player Joe Senser) wanted to show her support to her hometown by wearing a Twin Cities designer.


Here's the dress on the runway at the Saint Paul Hotel during MNfashion Week in April:

Next up, she'll be shooting her new music video "After Love" with Johnston. Perhaps this means we'll be seeing more Straub soon! Congrats, Christopher!

UPDATE: Tom & Lorenzo of Project Runway also spotlight Christopher's designs on their Teen Choice Awards post: "He is such a greasy little sleazebag. She looks cute. We have no idea who she is but she's wearing a Christopher Straub dress. Congrats, Chinstrap!"

UPDATE: Based on a facebook conversation between Senser's stylist and local designer Vivian Aronson (of YQY by Vivian), it sounds like a dress from Aronson's line will be featured in Senser's upcoming music video, purportedly with Johnston!

Weekend Twitterings

This weekend you guys got sweaty, waxed philosophical about boobs, met celebs and more! Weekend Twitterings are here!

We need visual proof asap.


Sounds utterly charming!


So in other words we have to re-learn what a "Triceratops" looks like in case of a Jurassic Park take over? Sigh.


Whatevs, who needs a uterus?


Someone bring Winnerbowzer a taco immediately! (But not that kind)


We took multiple cold showers this weekend. And not metaphorical ones.


Us too. Us too.


Pizza fight!


Embarrassing!


Jahna charmed her way into VIP and met Macy Gray!


That's what our voice sounds like all the time.


#classy


Deep thoughts from Mark Mallman. But yeah, where DID all the boobs go?


We knew the Hulk would type in all caps if he was on Twitter.


Oh no. Intervention!

Azia goes out with a bang...and an open bar

We here at LOL/OMG are crying in our sushi over the closing of Azia Restaurant (even though we've got Thom Pham's Wondrous Azian Kitchen to look forward to next week). We'll miss the Eat Street staple dearly, but this just-posted promo vid put together by Azia in anticipation of their big closing bash makes us feel a little better. Tickets to the soiree this Sunday, August 8th are $50 but also come along with the magic words OPEN BAR. Not to mention awesome food specials plus DJs in the Caterpillar Lounge and in A25 and live jazz in the main restaurant. Nice! We'll totally be there with bells on!

Buy your tickets at the Restaurant or online here, but act fast, as this is likely to sell out before Sunday.

Pix from the LOL/OMG Meetup & Rock Show 8/5

Thanks to the talented (and super pretty) Ms. Amy Gee for snapping some hot shots at the LOL/OMG Social Media Meetup and Rock Show at the 501 Club last night! We had a total blast! WaxxMaxx featuring Nicole Brenny, Alyssa Brenny and Mark Mallman kicked things off, followed by the always rockin' Ed and Ashley Ackerson of BNLX and the pure amazingness of Phantom Tails. ALL these bands blew our minds with their awesomeness, so be sure to check them out sometime if you were too lame to make the party.

Thanks to everyone who came, all the bands, and the staff of the 501 for making last night so super fun!

To see more pix from the event a la Amy Gee click HERE.

WAXXMAXX
