A year in, the blog started to become more news oriented with all types news (hard news and entertainment). It was now called OUTTOWN and it became more of a newsletter as well as attending events and capturing them through pics. The blog was now called OUTTOWN. The following blog had info about Rev Al Sharpton coming to St Louis to protest MODOT and their not including minorities on their contracts, a segment called MAAT BITZ where I talked about my goings on, this one involving seeing myself in the audience for the taping of NBC's Last Comic Standing in L.A. (PICTURED) where I traveled to earlier that summer as well as St Louis bred rapper Nelly's musical involvement with Janet. It also had a calendar of events that were going on in the STL area. And the debut of the segment WORDZ TO THE WHYZ where popular cultural events are questioned with the question "Why?"
