[For those of you just tuning in, this is based on the 301 Lists that Darren Rowse’s List Group Writing Project brought together. You’ll find Chapter 1 here –> A List Becomes 301 Links in Story — Chapter 1 ]

At the Studio

Lizzie followed. Jeremy. Jeremy Wright across Rue Dante into the creepy brownstone-like building up the stairs to the second floor. The door at the top of the stairs was on a landing with a desk.

“I don’t have keys,” said Jeremy, Jeremy Wright. “I’ll find Aaron Brazell to let us in.”

“I’ll hang here,” Lizzie said, settiing in at the desk.

The desk had a book for visitor sign ins, alongside it were several information pamphlets. They were lined up in a little stand as if this were a bed and breakfast. The header on the stand said, “Classic Pre-Show Reading.”

“Get your post listed on 25 sites in 10 Minutes” by Fence, Emily and Evening Post.

“They should know,” Lizzie thought, getting interested.

Aaron came through the door with Jeremy, Jeremy Wright.

“Hey, Lizzie,” Aaron said. “Could you hand me that Sailing Magazine I left on the desk?

Our new TV host passed it to our sailor friend and followed our Jack Bauer/James Bond type into the studio. Then she gasped with some emotion she couldn’t quite name.

Chartreuse Has Picked His New Orleans Team

August 3, 2006 by Liz Leave a Comment

Citizen Journalists after Katrina

You might recall that Chartreuse’s Prince Campbell put down his own money, which was added to by the Blogging Times, the Blogging Herald, and KnowMoreMedia, to send a film and interview team to New Orleans. The crew of three who will be going was announced today on a post on Chartreuse (BETA). The team of three includes:
Mishikea Brathwaite: From Los Angeles, Calf., Travis Campbell: A New Orleans native who now lives in San Francisco, California, and Loren Feldman: From New York, New York. They will be helped when they get there by New Orleans resident, Candice Quates, friend and reader of Succesful Blog.

As Prince said about the trip:

The three people will be meeting in New Orleans on Friday August 11.

There is a Thrifty rental car reserved for them at the Airport.

They will be staying at the Avenue Garden Hotel on St.Charles Ave. in the Garden District of the city. (One of the main reasons I chose it is because of Internet Access. High Speed is not available in some of the hotels I checked.)

Though they will be mostly on their own there are already interviews set up with people in a 150 mile range. These are people who supposedly have first hand knowledge of some of the atrocities mentioned in the email I received.(They will have to do some travelling but this isn’t a vacation.)

The point of this trip is to find out the truth. And to give us a first hand view of what’s happening in the city and the outlying areas.

We’ll be keeping an eye on their travels to hear the stories of what is happening to the real people living in the aftermath of Katrina. Bloggers have the power to make things happen in the most tangible fashion.

Never forget the power of blogging. We can make things happen.

2. You push me to be better and inspire me to be brighter.
3. You know no bounds to your friendship and your loyalty.

Tip: Don’t ever give up your quest. You are the real deal.


Mr. Martin Neumann

1. You are my secret pal, who keeps his own counsel over my journalistic errors.
2. You push me too and got me to grow when I didn’t know for sure which way was better.
3. You live upside-down, but you are always on the up and up.

Tip: Don’t stray too far, because I would miss you.

Mr. Prince Campbell

1. You are a the Internet master, the challenger, who keeps things kicking.
2. You keep my brain thinking and keep the music coming when I need a place to lurk.
3. You see the 30,000 ft view without leaving the ground, and say volumes without writing too many words.
