Open Mic 7pm Chgo Time: We're Talking about Things People Do When Spring Comes

by

Join Us Tonight

Spring Changes Everything — Even US!!

Ever notice how people change when the flowers start coming up? They get nicer, spruce things up, and offer random acts of kindness, play baseball fly kites. What signs of spring have we seen in the people around us? Think of how people respond to

  • spring fever
  • spring cleaning
  • spring fashions
  • spring weather

Of course, we’ll talk about everything under the spring sun as well. We always do.

Oh, and bring signs of Spring links to share. Hey it’s better than talking about TAXES!!

The rules are simple — be nice.

Do be nice. 🙂

Successful and Outstanding Bloggers

Let me introduce the bloggers
who have earned this official badge of achievement,

and the right to call themselves
Successful Blog SOBs.

I invite them to take a badge home to display on their blogs.

They take the conversation to their readers,
contribute great ideas, challenge us, make us better, and make our businesses stronger.

I thank all of our SOBs for thinking what we say is worth passing on.
Good conversation shared can only improve the blogging community.

Should anyone question this SOB button’s validity, send him or her to me. Thie award carries a “Liz said so” guarantee, is endorsed by Kings of the Hemispheres, Martin and Michael, and is backed by my brothers, Angelo and Pasquale.

The Mic is On: It's about the State of…

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.

… the Blogosphere!

Let’s start with:

  • What’s changed since we started blogging?
  • What do we miss about when we didn’t blog at all?
  • What are we most grateful that we found in the Blogosphere?
  • What are we most concerned won’t stay the same?

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 the blogosphere to share!

… the Blogosphere!

We might talk about what’s changed since we started blogging, what we miss about when we didn’t blog at all, what we are most grateful that we found in the Blogosphere, and whatever else comes up, even flamenco dancing.

Oh, and bring example links to share — about the state of the Blogosphere.

The rules are simple — be nice.

Do be nice. 🙂

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!
