As in, why do I participate or even care? It could be interesting to have a gathering where the listeners/bloggers are interviewed and then do a show around that. (Not to mention the helpful testimonials that might come out of it!) I know that some of us could write about it and that would be great. But, the energy created by having people together talking about it could generate something more powerful. And help us to see if there are more things we want to do together.

Afterwards people could mingle, buy books, join political campaigns, sign petitions, storm baricades, or whatever else might match up thematically with the show.

I was just telling the folks in my Saturday night Circle that I usually find myself uncomfortably standing around waiting for the torture to end. I had a lovely evening. Loved meeting kate and Paul. The energy in the room was enjoyable and everyone was warm - even the PRI and BBC folks who were likely only indulging me. I, too, look forward to more. Maybe some book signings? Or live blogging session - where we gather and blog together while Chris riffs off our entry with a humorous guest.. Other ideas, gang...... Ditto, Kate.

And I swear I'm not just saying this -- all of you were exceptionally nice. I hope you do this again. Thanks a lot. I have to tell you, I usually avoid parties like the plague, but this was great.

It's like high school all over again. This time, though, geography's the problem, not painful awkwardness. Well, actually, that too. Once again, on the outside looking in.
