The Mic is On: Nick Schmidt, Video Blogging, and Barroom Conversation

The Mic Is On

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

That’s Right the Famous Vlogger, Nick Schmidt, Is Bartending. C’mon In

Talk about what we always do:

  • pick Nick’s brain about video
  • favorite barroom pasttimes, games, and conversations
  • what we’ve been doing
  • what flavor of Klondike Bars we’ll be having
  • start a pool about what time Liz actually might show up . . .

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

Oh, and bring links to share!

Successful and Outstanding Bloggers

Let me introduce the bloggers
who have earned this official badge of achievement,

and the right to call themselves

I invite them to take a badge home to display on their blogs.

They take the conversation to their readers,
contribute great ideas, challenge us, make us better, and make our businesses stronger.

I thank all of our SOBs for thinking what we say is worth passing on.
Good conversation shared can only improve the blogging community.

Should anyone question this SOB button’s validity, send him or her to me. Thie award carries a “Liz said so” guarantee, is endorsed by Kings of the Hemispheres, Martin and Michael, and is backed by my brothers, Angelo and Pasquale.

  • tree climbing and jumping on the beds
  • eating Klondike Bars instead of healthy food — Oh wait, we do that anyway . . .
  • and flamenco dancing with a code-writing donkey and a drunken moose.
