OMG - I was just telling my dad that he should see about booking you! My dad manages a theater in Branson and I mentioned that he should check out your music. In fact, I was visiting your site to get your contact information for him and the first thing I see is "A stage in a big tacky theatre in Branson." LOL - that was just too funny!

As it happens - just for your general fund of knowledge & ignoble, I mean ignorable otherwise, a MEME is an idea or concept that percolates like water thru porous rock over time. The original label was coined by Richard Dawkins - he of evolutionary biology fame - as an analogy to genes and was later converted into a popsci book. Other than boring you with all this - being easily amused - perhaps the importance is that blogs are all about memes and speed up the circulation, migration, sharing and mutation of interesting ideas. It also looks to me as if blogs are rapidly seperating out - as all good ecologies do - into a few winners, a larger number of players and a huge number of also-rans. There are so many it's impossible to keep up without the linked networks of new ecologies - for example I found your blog thru an indirect site on Bob Sutton via Big Picture. So if your blog network can create value over and above 'just' your individual site that network will gain more power by generating larger sets of users consuming your memes, however tortuous the paths. BtW - judging from the cite of Sutton you might also find Seth Grodin's blog on honest, value-based marketing to be directly useful and to say more than just it's topics. ;) Anyway for what it's worth.

You've got a wonderfully fun place around here, and you write some great stuff. I look forward to getting to know you better in 2007. Thanks for the link and for keeping this meme alive Christine.

However, why don't you let people share the love and link to a myspace page of yours too? There are almost as many myspace pages as blogs, and it would give the people who don't blog another way to show their appreciation of you.
