3rd Ward Member Becky Carter Needs Writers and Bloggers!

Are you a writer/blogger looking to get your work out there? Here is what Becky's site says:

These New Old Traditions is an online journal devoted to reinvigorating our vacant holidays and traditions with a little mystic revelry... We’re looking for some new writers for the site. There’s so much we want to cover, get out, and unpack, and our tiny team could use some of your brilliancy. Want to be read by thousands of people a month? Want to investigate the nuanced weirdness that is the American holiday? Want to be a part of a growing team of writers, bloggers, urban homesteaders, unschoolers and unworkers, post-pagans, herbalists, and seasonal food connoisseurs committed to once again making meaningful our forgotten traditions?

Make Your (New Years Resolution) Dreams Come True... with our Drink-n-Draw-Overdrive!!

We've heard that if you wait till January 10th to start working on you NYE Resolutions, you are more likely to accomplish them. Well, everyone procrastinates, the 10th has come and gone - but don't fret! Follow our simple steps to get 100% closer to accomplishing your goals:

1) Declare Your Resolution Publicly! Tweet it. Update your Facebook status. Call your Mama. AND vote on our quick poll:

 

What's Your New Years Resolution for 2010?
a) Lose Weight/Get Healthy/Look Better
b) Spend Less/Save Money
c) Be More Creative/Make More Art
d) Meet New People/Make More Friends
e) other
earrings

2) Join us, a week from Friday for our DRINK-N-DRAW-OVERDRIVE! (2/5/2010 8 p to 2 a, $20, Admission includes Colt 45 & Live Music).

A - For you weight watchers - You can dance! That is totally cardio, right? Or perhaps a few reps of Pencil Lifts?

B - For you penny pinchers - $20 for a Friday night of drinks, music & drawing? That is an amazing deal - plus you know if you weren't here with us, you'd be over at Redds blowing more than $20 on Labatt Blues & Budweiser "American Ales"

C - For you burgeoning Picasso's - This is an easy yes. Life drawing amps up your skills, makes you more well rounded & you always loved it back when you were in school

D - For you social climbers - The conversation starters at this event just won't stop! Doesn't that model look JUST like Diana Ross? This song really reminds me of [whatever obscure band impresses girls]? Don't I know from somewhere? The opening-lines really write themselves.

E - And "Other" - you guys are freaky! So, we know you'll love this event.

 

See you next week!
