Open Mic 7pm Chgo Time: Cats, Dogs, and Animals We Love

September 16, 2008 by Liz

Join Us Tonight

We Call Them Pets

Man’s best friend, woman’s roommate — the animals we love are lifelong friends in real ways. Tonight we’re talking about cats, dogs and other pets.

    what makes a pet?
    where do we find one?
    what’s your best pet story?
    bring your pet real or imaginary pet.
    ahem . . .

Oh, and bring example links to share —

The rules are simple — be nice.

Do be nice. 🙂

The Mic is On: Stories and Fables with Tim Johnson!

September 9, 2008 by Liz

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.

Tim and Liz — Oh No!!

After all, EVERYONE has a story to tell… or a story that resonates with them… or a story they remember… or a story they’ve shared to make a point. Tonight we’re talking about Fables and Stories with co-host Tim Johnson!!

  • What fable or story character describes you?
  • What business fables do you know?
  • Do you use fables and stories to to change behavior or motivate people?
  • Which fable or story seems to repeat in your life?

and Tim’s bringing a special offer!!

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

Do You See Stars?

Since time began, people have been looking up with questions, finding answers, telling stories. Which ones do you pass on to people you care about? People and stars have a lot in common. Tonight we’re talking about the stars and the universe.

  • Do you wish upon a star?
  • Do you know the constellations?
  • What do you know about Astrology and Astronomy?
  • Would you want to travel to a star nursery?
  • ahem . . .
