The Mic is On: It's about Great Books!

April 1, 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.

We’ll never get away from the power of information and books are such easy packages in which to store it.

Let’s start with:

  • What books do we love?
  • What new books have we discovered?
  • What books are we thinking about writing?
  • What books do we wish someone would write?

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 great books to share!

April 1, 2008 by Liz

Join Us Tonight

We’ll never get away from the power of information and books are such easy packages in which to store it.

We might talk about what books we love, what new books we have discovered, what books we’re thinking about writing, what books we wish someone would write, and whatever else comes up, even flamenco dancing.

Oh, and bring example links to share — about great books.

The rules are simple — be nice.

Do be nice. 🙂

The Mic Is On: We're Talking about the Law of Attraction

It’s the Law . . .

Wear a “kick me” sign and sooner or later . . . someone will. We’ll be talking about whether we believe your intentions and actions bring things into our life.

  • Can we make a positive life by believing in it?
  • Do we really intend our future?
  • Do we attract the people who come to us?
  • Is all of this law of attraction “bull puckey”?

Oh, and bring example links to share — about the law of attraction.

The Mic Is On All Day: Reflecting on Being Too Sick to Be Here

I Won’t Be Here, But the Mic Will be. . .

As soon as I write this, it’s back under five blankets for me.

Sometimes the fact that no one died of the common cold is no consolation at all.

Feel free to leave . . .

  • a comment
  • a quote
  • a poem
  • a recollection
  • a story
RIP

Liz is Out of Town & We’re Going On a Road Trip

Liz is on the road heading home from SXSW tonight.

But never fear she left me the keys to the blog so Open Comment Night is SO on. And while we’re talking it up we’ll be munching on our Klondike Bars and whatever else Liz left us in the side bar.

Bwaaah-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Chris Cree Gravitar

Here are some ideas to get us started

  • Favorite Road Trip Stories
  • Places We’d Most Like to Visit
  • Must-have Road Trip Items
  • Passing the Time on the Road

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and did I mention Klondike Bars? (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

Oh, and bring example links to share — especially examples of great road trip destinations!
