w[h]ine night part deux: wish you were there
Wish you were here for w[h]ine night part deux. I had fun with my new camera lens and we all had a really nice time and practically closed the place down.
We talked briefly about the idea of (a) doing this every month and (b) having a Mother Talk salon one day. And today I chatted via email with Andi Buchanan and guess what? There's a Mother Talk planned for Portland in April sometime. There will be readings from the soon-to-be-launched It's a Girl anthology - some of the mamas are here in Portland.
Seriously. I wish you all could have come to the w[h]ine night. I'm hoping to do a post about it on Blogging Baby (so you can see the photo again, heh) over the next day or two.
Yay! Looking forward to the Mother Talk salon...!

I, too, would love to participate in a Mother Talk salon. Is there an e-mailing list for the Portland one?

Hi there! I figured I'd just jump in here... My name is Shari MacDonald Strong and I will be organizing the Mother Talk salon for Portland. (I'm a contributor to Andi's book and will be helping to spearhead the event.) No date yet, although I expect it will indeed be in April. I'm also thinking about organizing an ongoing (monthly) Mother Talk salon, depending on the level of interest. Anyhow, feel free to send me your email address if you'd like to receive an E-vite to the event (the E-vite will go out once we get a bit closer, but you can send me your email address anytime) and please do spread the word once we have a solid date! There will also likely be one or more bookstore readings for "It's a Girl" around the release of the book (early April, I believe). I look forward to meeting other UrbanMamas at these events!
