We have only just begun...

The table is set, the food is ready, the guests are on their way... all we need is YOU. More specifically, your story. We are looking to grow our online community to better serve everyone -- think of it as an "open mic" night, only without the line.

We will start by covering some of the artists that share this Tuesday night (the 13th), and we will keep the conversation going in the days, weeks and months to come. Truly, we are almost as excited about ramping up our online community as we are living and contributing in our real one!

As a part of this effort, we are also reaching out to bloggers, writers, busboys, poets, poetesses, neighbors, foodies, activists, artists, you name it. So please let us know if you are interested in sharing your story, your writing, or your art. Think of this space just like the Langston Hughes Room Mural... room and support for everyone.
