		<title>My wife&#039;s roller derby name is &quot;famous.&quot;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A Minnesotan named Tim has a clever viral marketing website called Who Ya Wearing Today? in which companies and organizations send him a few bucks and a t-shirt to wear during his videos. A day costs $10 in January, $20 in February, and so on. He mentions them during the video which also features a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thescrawl.com&blog=850356&post=1236&subd=scrawlers&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>I&#039;m in the Fringe Festival.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, that didn&#8217;t take long.
After the lottery happened on Wednesday and I announced here on Thursday that I was number one on the waiting list, I got the call from Mark about twenty minutes ago offering me a performance slot. I took it and it appears I&#8217;ll be producing my first show in the Minnesota [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thescrawl.com&blog=850356&post=1233&subd=scrawlers&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>I&#039;m almost in the Fringe Festival.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Minnesota Fringe Festival is one of the largest theater festivals on the continent and it&#8217;s awesome. I&#8217;m also very, very close to being a part of that awesomeness this year.
It&#8217;s a non-juried festival and they have so many applicants they end up holding a lottery. It&#8217;s truly luck of the draw to get a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thescrawl.com&blog=850356&post=1231&subd=scrawlers&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Scrawlers will match your Haiti relief donation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Barry and I thank you for reading.
UMCOR is the United Methodist Committee On Relief and an organization I know and trust. Both the mission trip I did in Texas in 2008 and the mission trip I did in Iowa in 2009 were groups that worked through UMCOR and I was impressed by their professionalism, their [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thescrawl.com&blog=850356&post=1189&subd=scrawlers&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Conan and Leno and Ethics, Oh My!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those reading my blog on Facebook, I&#8217;d appreciate your leaving comments on my blog instead of Facebook, thanks.  
I enjoy Conan O&#8217;Brien more than Jay Leno and that clearly influences how I feel about this whole late-night debacle. He&#8217;s who I watched when I stayed up late in high school to do homework [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thescrawl.com&blog=850356&post=1172&subd=scrawlers&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>My Ten Biggest Missed Blog Opportunities of 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a little saying around my desk that goes, &#8220;Thinking about writing isn&#8217;t writing. Writing is writing. So write.&#8221; I didn&#8217;t take my advice very well this year and ended up thinking about writing a lot more than actually doing it. Here are ten examples of how I could have written more here. These [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thescrawl.com&blog=850356&post=1135&subd=scrawlers&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Elmore Leonard is one of my top three favorite writers and the opportunity to correspond with him via Barnes &#38; Noble&#8217;s message boards was one of my highlights [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thescrawl.com&blog=850356&post=1133&subd=scrawlers&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>I saw Zero 7 in concert.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let me say upfront that it doesn&#8217;t really matter to me how people discover something they enjoy and that includes the bandwagon. If someone got into a band because they heard one of their songs in a commercial, good. And that&#8217;s not the band selling out, that&#8217;s the band gaining exposure and more audience. This [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thescrawl.com&blog=850356&post=1105&subd=scrawlers&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A storyteller passes away.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A great man named Merlin Dewing passed away this morning at the age of seventy-four. I was shocked and stunned, as Merlin was as young as they get, full of life and an interest in bettering the lives of others. There is a mix of grief and gratitude in me this week. Grief for his [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thescrawl.com&blog=850356&post=1089&subd=scrawlers&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
