The Mic Is On: We’re Visiting Big Cities . . .

by

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

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.

We’re Talking About Big Cities

We might talk about

  • what we like and we don’t like about big cities
  • being alone, being with friends in the city
  • big cities during the day, during the night
  • big cities where we have been, where we would like to be
  • big cities in songs and movies

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey.

Oh, and bring a link, if you have one to share.
