| 12:30 pm | to | 1:00 pm |
I love Carla (no relation) King’s new brand, and I’ll bet her new show will be equally brilliant:
Carla writes, “For years and years many of you have been sending me emails headed Dear Miss Adventuring so I’ve finally taken you up on it and embraced the title. The Miss Adventuring Show on BlogTalkRadio.com is the first step. It launches on Thursday January 3rd at 12:30 pm Pacific Time USA.”The goal of the show is to create a How-To Guide for a Fabulously Misadventurous Lifestyle. Contributing will be guests who are living inspiring, out-of-the-box, live-your-dreams kind of lives. They’re a varied lot, including writers, dancers, entrepreneurs, parents, boaters, bikers, artists, technologists . . . you never know who will turn up.

WWW Salon Intermission
September 5, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Jonesin’ for a WWW salon? No, it’s not your imagination: it probably has been awhile since you’ve attended.
From the Wild Writing Women, August 31, 2007: “Friends, all good things must come to an end, and our literary salon at the Monticello Inn has finished. The hotel has been sold and the new owners are remodeling. Our six years of Salon-dom provided us a great experience, and we hope you enjoyed it, too. Thanks for all your support and stay tuned for more adventures with the WWW.”
I hope they find a new venue soon!
