How did i miss this thread?! (oh yeah, i was waiting for people to booze w/ at Machu Picchu..)
congratulations gramme! sounds like a tough choice, but sounds like you made the best for you.
don't worry, you can come up and ride NE rights next season w/ me for sure. ;)

yeah but i never make it...i tried going to some of those meetups a year ago or so, and i could never find the people who were supposed to be there. haven't tried in a while, nice to see that people are actually showing up now.

Whenever I go there it is because I have a class at CAIT so it is like a vacation to me. There are some nice birds around there too. duck, are you on the meetup site?
btw, Casa Dilla seems like a decent quick place.

No it's through meetup.com.
Personally I think that Toky is one of the best around these parts, but KLI is definitely up there. Atomic Dust and Phoenix are up there too.
And man, screw Quizno's, Crazy Bowls is where its at!
I really am not a fan of Clayton but that is more of a general shunning of suit culture more than anything...

I like BARcelona a lot in Clayton. Small tapas dishes.
http://www.saucemagazine.com/bar…This is the Meetup site:
http://graphicdesign.meetup.com/…The forum is slow but there were over 40 people at the last one. I got a good size project from contacts I made there the first night.

Clayton is nice. A lot of awesome restaurants. I am in Maryland Heights at the moment doing UI Design. Have you been to any of the STL Meetups? The last one was hosted by Atomic Dust.

(Mar 8 06, 10:03)Yeah I'm trying to figure out where to go for lunch, something cheap. We have a Quizno's right below us.
Dunno about the STL meetups. Is it an NT thing?

Btw, unfortunately St Louis is one of the most dangerous cities in the country.

(Mar 8 06, 09:49)I grew up near Baltimore, and I lived on the edge of the ghetto for a bit. No worries! Besides, KLI is in good ol' Clayton. It's all businesses & restaurants.

I'm in STL too. I am curious which firm did you mention as being the best in the area, KLI?

(Mar 8 06, 09:49)Yeah, KLI is the best around these parts, in my opinion. But I'm pretty new around here, so that could be a lie from the pit of hell. Haven't seen anyone better yet, tho. The design scene around STL seems kinda small, coming from the northeast.

coolio.
i had a girl changing her mind a day before she was supposed to start. that wasn't cool.
then again, i was on my way out there, so i don't blame her.

(Mar 8 06, 08:57)Yeah, that part sucks. I imagine this sort of thing happens a lot though. I tried to be as nice as possible; it would've been a decent gig but KLI is a better career move for me.
- jevad0
uh...yeah you just said that a couple posts above...
- gramme0
ah sorry, noob trick there. browser's acting funny.

update:
I'd accepted the offer from 2e, was supposed to start on the 15th, then a couple days later Kuhlmann Leavitt offered me a job. The apology phone call to 2e was reeeeally awkward, but I think KLI is a better move.
just started yesterday. I'm nervous but really excited :D
P.S. 2e Creative is now looking for a senior designer ASAP for anyone in STL who's interested. And Catalone Design in MD needs a middle-weight.
