Hi! My name is Caitlin Kaluza and I am proud to be the newest Schipulite! My background is in Marketing, and I am passionate about how Social Media tools (and the fantastic people behind them) can activate communities to do amazing things. I am excited to be a part of the Communications team!
I think the best way to get to know me is to check out some of my most favorite places on the web:
- AdFreak – I am addicted to marketing of all kind. I appreciate commercials (I watch them most of the time even when I’ve DVRed a show), witty marketing campaigns, and of course really interesting corporate websites (have you seen Skittles.com this week?)
- Valleywag – Silicon Valley gossip at its finest. Who knows if any of its true, but I’ll keep reading nonetheless
- Houstonist – I am new to Houston (a transplant from Dallas) and always looking for food and entertainment suggestions!
- Netflix.com – Streaming DVDs on my computer and XBOX (a.k.a. instant gratification) has changed the way I consume movie and TV content forever
- Twitter – Check me out @QCait or (because I am a secret crazy cat lady) my cat Victoria Beckham tweeting @KittenTweet
Enjoy! You’ll be hearing more from me soon!
Welcome to the team Caitlin!
I’m not a Schipulite (Katie hasn’t convinced Ed to hire a corporate knitter yet) but I love someone there, so welcome! I love streaming from Netflix too! Can you recommend a good moderately priced restaurant in Dallas (I’m going for several days next week)?

Thanks for the welcome! I happen to enjoy eating very much, so I have no shortage of opinions on good eats in Dallas!
Throughout Dallas there is a FANTASTIC Brazilian-meets-TexMex-meets-Bohemian-coffeshop group of restaurants called Cafe Brazil. The original is in Deep Ellum… but there is one on 75 and Lovers, Beltline and Quorum in Addison… I think there are 10 in all. They serve breakfast all day and have as many types of coffee as you can possibly imagine. All the locations are listed on their website here: http://cafebrazil.com/
If you find yourself downtown, my absolute favorite place to eat in all of Dallas is the Zodiac Cafe inside the flagship Neiman Marcus. It has the same swank mod style it had when it opened in the 50’s, and (especially for lunch) the food is a great bang for your buck.

Also if you’re downtown and want some cheap, authentic eats, there is a place called Records that is literally leaning against a building on Record street (it’s bright blue and across the street for the Records building). It is the former parking attendant shack at the corner of Record and Main. This place is so legit it’s cash only.
And if you happen to be downtown and up for that sort of thing, I HIGHLY recommend the Dallas World Aquarium and Sixth Floor Museum. They are both really, really fantastic attractions.
Have fun on your trip!
I heard that he was to eager do a Eastenders cameo! Lol. Sounds a bit dodgy to me. There’s a part of me that sort of hopes this is true lol.
