The Mic Is On: We're Talking about Firsts!

February 24, 2009 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.

There’s a First Time for Everything …
What Were Some of Yours?

  • Your first word
  • Your first kiss
  • Your adventure your parents didn’t know
  • Your first blog post
  • Your first award
  • Your first colossal and embarrassing moment

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 example links.

Where Do Circus People Run Away to?

So running away isn’t such a good idea … BUT, if you could set up work anywhere, where would you be right now? How could balance what you’re doing with where you’d most love to do it?

And what would you be doing?

Oh, and bring example links.
