Been mighty busy for the last week. I’ve been neglecting most of my sites and I really need to step it up as Guest Editor over at Coudal Partners. Anyway, here’s a quick recap of some recent “Milk Eggs Vodka” blog mentions:
“I love Milk Eggs Vodka” —Gold & Silver Stars
“Yesterday a friend who knows my [...]
Cool, here’s a post about the lists and the book from the folks at Organic:
I recently discovered grocerylists.org, an ecclectic collection by Bill Keaggy… Keaggy recently published a book entitled “Milk Eggs Vodka” where he reprinted several hundred grocery lists in their crumpled, stained and misspelled glory (featured in AdAge)… As intrepid students of human [...]
Hey St. Louis, I’ll be a guest on Thomas Crone and Amanda Doyle’s The Wire radio show on KDHX 88.1 FM, the excellent community radio station here in St. Louis. It’ll run 7:30-8 p.m. Central tonight. Listen in!
Advertising Age columnist Lenore Skenazy wrote a wonderful piece on “Milk Eggs Vodka.” It was a lot of fun talking with her because she was very interested in the brands and customer profiles behind all of my found grocery lists — and that’s an angle I haven’t given much thought (compared to the amount of [...]
A couple weeks ago I did an interview with Sara Porter of St. Louis’ ‘West End Word.’ The issue just came out and I have to admit that it’s so well put together that even I couldn’t wait to read what I said!
The lists in the book are arranged in many different categories such as [...]
Jeff Houck, the food writer at the Tampa Tribune, has started a podcast for TBO.com called Table Conversations — and I’m pleased to be the first victim guest. ;-)
We talk about my book, “Milk Eggs Vodka: Grocery Lists Lost and Found,” collecting, bad spelling, obsessions, the humor and humanity to be found in other peoples’ [...]
I’ll be on the radio here in St. Louis next Wednesday, June 13 around 10:30 p.m. Central time talking with the two Johns on KMOX 1120. Listen in as I talk and joke about the “Milk Eggs Vodka” book.
If you can’t hear me on the radio try to come see me at Left Bank Books [...]
A hearty and heartfelt congratulations to Laura (who needs bleach and eggs) and Amber (who shops for Cosmo, chocolate donuts and pads, but only “once a month”). Laura and Amber were the winners of the “Milk Eggs Vodka” book giveaway. Thanks to everyone who entered the contest (I’ll probably do another soon!). Take a look [...]
“Milk Eggs Vodka” is for sale at your neighborhood Borders and is usually filed in the “Humor” section (right next to Garrison Keillor’s titles!). But should you visit Powell’s Books in Portland, Oregon (and you should), you’ll see that my book stands proudly in the “Cooking oddities” section. How cool is that? I didn’t even [...]
The Good: Jen Bekman — someone who I have much respect for — says, “Milk Eggs Vodka is an enjoyable book, well-designed” and calls it “particularly cool.” Thanks, Jen!
The Bad: Uncool Kids thinks Found Magazine was around before The Grocery List Collection. Oh well. “How publishers were giving away grocery bags that promoted Bill Keaggy’s [...]
The Oklahoman has decided that reading Milk Eggs Vodka this summer is a good idea. I agree!
A whimsical book that promises to provide much amusement is “Milk Eggs Vodka: Grocery Lists Lost and Found” (HOW Books, $19.95) by Bill Keaggy, who has collected grocery lists from around the world. Keaggy believes such lists can reveal [...]
Here’s a column in Georgia’s Gwinnett Daily Post about my site and the book:
…when I stumbled upon the Web site Grocerylists.org, I was ecstatic. The site features a collection of images of 1,600 discarded shopping lists that people found just about anywhere — left in shopping carts, dropped in parking lots. The first time I [...]
I’m en route back to STL from PDX via ABQ so here’s a PDQ excerpt from the June issue of the BookPage nonfiction reviews:
If you’ve ever laughed at those of us compulsive enough to shred our grocery lists, you’ll think again after reading Bill Keaggy’s Milk Eggs Vodka: Grocery Lists Lost and Found. Keaggy, who [...]
