Open Mic 7pm Chicago Time — at the Neighborhood Hangout

by

Every Neighborhood Worth Its Salt Has One

Personal Branding logo

YES, the mic will be open again tonight. So start collecting your thoughts. Remember, you get to bring what you want to talk about.

The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about.

Tonight we’re hanging out!

We might also talk about

  • The people we meet
  • The places we used to hang out
  • The weirdest hangouts
  • The crazy people in them

AND THE EVER POPULAR,

Basil the code-writing donkey.

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.

And we’ll be in your favorite neighborhood hangout — drinks are optional.

OZ Is Hit with Link Leak Virus

by

Tueday Comment Night in OZ

Open Comments was held in OZ last night. The conversation opened with a musical number and went from black and white to color in a matter of two comments. At some point in the wild forest, the flying monkeys dropped the evil link leak virus on the fair citizens of Successful Blog. Perhaps it was as we traveled through the poppy fields right before the Emerald City.
