Open Mic 7pm Chgo Time: Tonight It’s Creative Networking!

by

Join Us Tonight

Social Networking Taking Too Much Time?

Are you spending lots of time social networking, but starting to wonder whether it’s worth the time you’re investing? Do you have lots of friends, but don’t seem to be getting closer to where you want to be going? We’re going to explore other ways to share what you’re up to.

Tonight it’s about creative networking. We’ll discuss how to get the most out of Twitter conversation, how an eBook might help build your reputation, the idea of ezines and manifestoes, guest posts and writing projects and other ways to get your ideas out there.

Oh, and bring example links to share.

The rules are simple — be nice.

Do be nice. 🙂

The Mic is On: It’s About Weird Dreams and Nightmares

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

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.

Do you have sleeping dreams that you remember? Weird ones, scary ones, ones that could be made into a movie? Ever had a recurring dream that came back over and over, or dreamed about the first person you loved years ago?

Tonight it’s about weird dreams and nightmares:

  • dreams that stick with you after you wake up
  • dreams that move you to action
  • dreams that you knew you were sleeping while you dreamed them
  • dreams that came true or told the future
  • ahem . . .

And, we’ll talk about 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 about weird dreams and nightmares to share!

… and Nightmares

Weird ones, scary ones, ones that could be made into a movie. Ever had a recurring dream that came back over and over, or dreamed about the first person you loved years ago? We might talk about sleeping dreams that we remember, and whatever else comes up, even flamenco dancing.

Oh, and bring links to share — about weird dreams and nightmares.

The rules are simple — be nice.

The Mic is On: It’s about Guilty Pleasures!

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.

What Do You Do Only for You?

What do you do that is something just for your spirit? What is solely to make you feel good? We’re talking about things that maybe have no other value. Tonight it’s about guilty pleasures:

  • goofy television shows
  • snack foods with no substance
  • music that’s all sugar
  • ahem . . .
coffee beans

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 about your favorite guilty pleasure to share —
