Ahhh the 80’s! I was totally obsessed with the show Punky Brewster, my sister and I never missed an episode. Well Soleil Moon Frye gifted her loyal fans with a true blast from the past this week. She promised her Twitter fans that once she reached 1 million followers she would dress as Punky Brewster. Out came the bandanas and mis-matched shoes! I can’t express how much joy this brings me Soleil – you ROCK! Punky Power forever! – Daria

The following is reposted from “freshly baked.” Daria and I thought our Boutique Cafe readers would be interested in this insightful article on Twitter, which I read in a recent Time magazine.

If it weren’t for gym magazines I may never know what’s going on in the world. From the latest detox diets to Fall’s must-have accessories, the gym is a plethora of useful information. But seriously, I do get the chance to read some really interesting articles when I’m lucky enough to grab a Time or Newsweek from the stand, and today is the perfect example.

Evan Williams and Biz Stone of Twitter

In a recent issue of Time magazine I found an article all about Twitter titled “How Twitter Will Change the Way We Live.” Now, you don’t have to extol the virtues of the latest 140-character communication craze to me—I’m already a big fan. But this article pointed out a few things I didn’t know, a few things I hadn’t thought about, and a few possibilities for the future that make you stop and think.

New to Twitter? Seasoned pro? No matter where you stand when it comes to tweets, DMs, @ replies and followers, you’ll want to read “How Twitter Will Change the Way We Live” in its entirety. It may just change the way you think. And yes, it’s a wonderful, wonderful web.

It’s International Quilt Market this weekend in Houston, Texas, and Boutique Cafe will be there covering the event as media!

This time around I’m eager to try something a little bit different for our community, and offer a LIVE VIDEO FEED from Market on Saturday!! This is of course dependent on the quality of the internet connection at the Convention Centre, so if glitches arise please bear with us as we’ll have other coverage as well.

So, if you’d like to join in a little Boutique Cafe history with me this Saturday, Oct. 25th (approx. 11:30 am Houston time) – we’ll give it our best college try, and see if we can hold live interviews, in real-time for you!!

In order to participate, you’ll need to join www.ustream.com as a member, you’ll be able to participate in the Chatboard that runs next to the video feed. You’ll be able to comment, ask questions, and say hello to our guests directly! Can you say FUN?

**Once we’re setup and ready to start streaming, I’ll send a Twitter Tweet message with the url. (if you don’t have a Twitter.com account be sure to join and then click to follow Boutique Cafe’s updates)
