I’m a valuable marketing tool!

I did enjoy being told that I was part of a powerful group of women, both economically and politically.

I promise to use my blogging power for good.

The roundtable discussion about blogging and branding and that was pretty interesting.  I haven’t been involved in a discussion about getting paid for the work that we do…Oh wait, I do theatre (Mike Daisey explains it best)….Oh wait, I’m a mom… Oh, wait…, I volunteer at My Kid’s school…

That woman was right when she quoted her husband who said, “There is no way a group of men would be still blogging for free diaper bags“

OK, I was feeling good, now I’m depressed.

No, wait, I won’t get discouraged.  Some mom bloggers get free stuff to blog about and then they write about so much stuff they end up being hired by marketing companies.

Now I am really getting off course.  I’m a clown, not an ad exec

So anyway.

It was a fun work day first in the studio with the women clowns at a studio in the Fashion District then at the blogging mom event in Tribeca.

So after yummy Brooklyn supper on the the stoop of delivery  from The Smoke Joint I sit here now here I write on my MacBook while My Kid who was very excited about the Bejeweled video game and bottles of Powerade Play sports beverage I brought back from today’s event is enjoying her bath with the blue robot bath bomb from LUSH and soap from Carol’s Daughter–OK I’ll stop.

Well That Was Fun!

This afternoon just after I had climbed the stairs hauling my cart full of clean clothes from the laundromat my friend called.  She was in the neighborhood because she was going to a reading at Irondale.  I had an hour before I had to pick up My Kid from dance class at Mark Morris so we met for a beverage at a table in the sun and talked about New York Magazine’s ranking of our respective neighborhoods.  I was able to join her for the reading of Barbara Wiechmann’s play, The Holy Mother of Hadley New York. It was good AND my friend and I ran into another friend we both knew when we all lived in Seattle who has recently moved to New York and works for RipeTime, “a theatre company devoted to producing ensemble driven theatre infused with rich language, visual power and physical rigor”.  How cool is that!
