Dearest blog,

I’ve been busy pumping out 15 page treatises overnight, running a guac-off, judging Top Chef Harvard, sampling brownies for inclusion in new spa, and attending dinners sponsored by Eggland’s Best, among other things. Oh, and I watched Julie and Julia. That’s like, five blog posts I never made right there.

But you’re looking for some things to do in May! So I bring you two worthwhile events. I’ll be out of town for the first, but I’ll be attending the wine toast if you want to see a food blogger in the wild.

Eat, Drink, & Be Social – For all of us enamored with restaurants, social media, and the melding of the two. Here’s an event that brings together culinary powerhouse Barbara Lynch with FourSquare founder Dennis Crowley. There’ll be plenty of other Boston food and media movers & shakers out to discuss hot topics like geo-location and YouTube. Consists of two separate events:

• Sunday Evening Social - May 23rd, 8-10pm - Dante Restaurant (40 Edwin H. Land Blvd, Cambridge). Networking event at Dante with cash bar.

• Monday Symposium – May 24th, 8:30am-12:30pm - Technique @ Le Cordon Bleu (215 1st Street, Cambridge). The main event, with Barbara Lynch, the founder of FoodSpotting, @eatboston, and Barry Proctor of Upper Crust Pizza, among others. Annd more networking. Twitter hashtag: #eatdrinkbesocia.

Free wine toast at P.F. Chang’s – May 18, 5:18pm – P.F. Chang’s China Bistro at the Prudential Center (800 Boylston Street, Boston). Get a complimentary pour from P.F. Chang’s new custom label just by showing up. It’s happening on 5/18 at 5:18. Cute, right? I’ll be there!

I’ll also be attending Japanese brasserie Basho‘s opening party on 5/17.

Annd that rounds out May before I head back to New York! I’ll be working for NYC food mega-blog Serious Eats, as well as a food/travel iPhone startup.
