Response to new forum launches

I announced yesterday that my forums had hit the one million mark which is a milestone I’ve been waiting for to reopen the complete former network. With all the old forums coming back I was sent this list of possible new websites. Many of my forums have the word “talk” in them, which makes this doubly funny.

List of New Forum Ideas

Yes! By all means, please re-open Argyle Sock Talk, Cabbage Recipe Talk, Quantum Mechanics Talk, Beefarino Talk, Linens-And-Things Talk, Perfume Talk, Barbie Doll Talk, Miniature Poodle Talk, Oh, My Aching Back Talk, Urinary Incontinence Talk, Halitosis Talk, Modern Toothpick Design Talk, Atheism Talk, Existentialist Pet Groomer Talk, Small insect Talk, Big Fat Insect Talk, and MisteRogers Talk!

Comments on Brigadoon 2007

I don’t normally post comments about shows I work on because it seems a bit haughty with me being part of the production team. But Brigadoon 2007 at McIntyre Hall really is a fine production. On the music end, the orchestra is really incredible. Not too far a stone’s toss from a 5th Avenue pit group.

This is one of my last shows in Skagit County before I go back on the road and I hope friends and local theater folk have a chance to see this production. This show does great honor to McIntyre Hall and to local theater folk who put their heart and soul into the arts.

And to the McIntyre family of Skagit – I don’t know you, but your generostiy in creating McIntyre Hall is helping to propel Mount Vernon, WA and surrounding areas into rich fertile soil for up and coming artists.

SOME COMMENTS:

Forums Reach One Million Mark

I was just informed my forum network hit the one million mark for queries last month. Still a fraction of our former traffic – but a very good sign considering we’re only running a portion of them. I’ve been waiting to hit that mark before expanding, so now I’m going to open up ALL former forums. All those niche subjects that many of you had a passion for will be up and running within 10 days.

After that I’ll be reformatting the ecommerce networks. Ah….life is sweet.
