GENERAL INFORMATION BELOW

Squaw Valley
Squaw Valley provides the perfect natural setting to meditate, contemplate, or just get away from the concrete and crowding of our large cities.  Take the cable car to the top of the mountain and you can wander for hours across ridges and meadows where there aren’t even any trails.  Or go for a five minute hike out of the Village and you’ll find yourself on an immense network of paths interspersed with streams, rock climbs and wildlife.  Come get away.

Yoga Classes
Wanderlust will offer yoga classes at nine separate venues Thursday, July 29 through Sunday, August 1, 2010.  Most classes are located in the Village, but there are a number of classes at High Camp as well.  You’ll need one of our yoga + music tickets to practice.  You can schedule your classes in advance through our website beginning March 29, 2010.

Meditation & Lectures
For those interested in exploring the mind, Wanderlust will offer meditation workshops, lectures, and demonstrations covering topics of importance to our yoga + music ticketholders. You can schedule these events using our scheduling app beginning March 29, 2010.

Stay tuned because we will have a ticket giveaway in a future newsletter!

We did a little newsletter revamping recently, creating a NicolePresents Version 2.0. It’s cool ’cause its our second year in business as of March 17th, so it all worked out quite nicely.  Yeah, we’ve been working in this industry for a while, but we got official with the government license on St Patty’s Day last year…in a drunken stupor…no, not really, but sounds good doesn’t it?

Our newsletters, depending on which one you sign up for may include witty banter, event listings, recommendations, guest list spots, free giveaways and more! We only send it out 2x’s per month. Sign up below!

Those who refuse to die are becoming Zombunnies, while others survive to merge with technology and wear shiny lamé pantsuits. For one night only, two worlds collide and the survival of Bunkind depends on U!

As the sexiest underground nightclub in San Francisco with a reputation of attracting some of the city’s most influential trendsetters, it is no surprise that Vessel has turned to fashion.

10 point checklist for your business in 2010

VerticalResponse, an e-mail marketing company for small businesses, featured the top 10 things that businesses should be seeking to do in 2010.

We’ve highlighted a few below, but there are so many great ones, see the full article!

1. Use Social Media with Email Marketing – Finally get your act together with social media this year. Start with Twitter and Facebook, it’s easy. Then set your goals on how many Twitter followers your business will get or how many Facebook fans you’ll attract. Make sure you tell your email marketing recipients to follow you when you send out a campaign. And don’t forget to post your links to your email campaigns in your Twitter account and Facebook pages and ask people to join your email list. All of these marketing vehicles work really well together and feed off of each other.

2.  Use “Cause Marketing” – This is the year that you should identify your business with a worthy cause and either donate a percentage of profits to it or contribute to it in some way. And if profits or hard cash don’t fit, consider donating employee time. Then in your email marketing campaigns, your marketing materials and sales pitches you should talk about what you’re doing and why it’s important to you. Your prospects and customers increasingly want to do business with a business that cares and has moral obligations, and they’re looking for you to let them know how you fit the bill.
