They ask questions on blogathon to keep us going.

What is your favourite wild animal?

Such a wondrous question… I have always adored the tiger.

He’s regal, aloof, and will destroy anything that harms his family. And the female tiger is even more dangerous.

Apparently of the original 560 blogs they’ve lost about 200. There are only 360 left.

The rest seem to have dropped away from inactivity. In the meantime Sponsorship for this blog is in the top 16%. Which pleased me to no end.

It’s time for me to start writing the longer, deeper posts.

And something more risque

Would you believe… my original goal was $50

Thanks to amazing sponsors I am now at $451.93 (And however we wound up with 93 cents makes me very happy)…

Anyone want to do $49 more? I’d be thrilled at $500

Kinda strange…

Just tuned in BE Radio which is basically the Blogathon radio station. They are currently playing the remix of the Time Warp.

In another window is an IRC chat for the Blogathon…. And of course are the blogs.

I am reminded of an evening about 10 years ago at Pennsic War. (Now they are on Saturday Night, by the Bay City Rollers which is a real memory trip)

I was playing Doumbek around camps and was invited to a hafla with some friends. We got there and the place was packed. I mean people were 5 deep into the street around the camp site. Someone spotted me and beckoned me around the side.

He said.. drummer.. you come in through here.

Inside was two tents filled with snacks… We’re talking regal catering.

And that was for the drummers. Fruit, chips, drinks, water, seats.

As it turned out.. we were the VIPs. because we played for the dancers and they brought the crowd.

We got wonderful treatment because we were making the thing come together.

Listening to the music being played for the Bloggers in the Blogathon. Watching the chat.

Typing posts. It feels neat.

See you on Sunday 🙂 it’s 11:30.

Restroom soon my last post of the day and then 12 more posts in the overnight hours.

Special online hugs to shadesong who I know is now approaching 2:30 am. I do not envy her having to do 9am to 9am.
