Club Chaos Is Going Live At REBarCamp RDU

Club Chaos Is Going Live At REBarCamp RDU

Are you ready? Are you sure? We're Going Live in 5 at REBarCamp RDU (LOL). Elenor Throne, Heather O, Jeremy Blanton, Ann Allen, Suzie Blackmon, SarahGray Lam, Carol Smith and a host of other bay-bays are on location enjoying the social media revolution.

Wordy C will be making an appearance as a thought leader. How to monetize your blog and writing transparently are the topics. Will be highlighting the dynamics of socialization when we jack a blog. ;-)

Margaret Rome was kind enough to donate autographed copies of her book and we will be playing truth or dare to give them away during the writing transparency class.

Stay tune for more eye candy later... The bay-bays will be tag teaming with me to update you guys later. If you have anything you'd like to say to the NC attendees feel free to comment here. I will be showcasing your blogs to 300+ people. We are streaming live on-line so this may get very interesting. :-)

Hey girl!  Just tell everyone I said hi.  I was doing my best to make it there, but my new office opens Monday.  Yippee!!!  Give Thom, Debe, Connie, Ann and the gang a big fat kiss for me :)  Throw one in there for yourself while you are at it!  *mwa*

C Tann-Starr (one of the few people who gets their whole name when I reply) - First of all, where's the live stream?  I'll have to hit up Twitter to see if I can find it.  As for the blog - this one is my favorite of my recents.  Although the "tax credit" part of it is a bit of a moot point at the moment, the underlying theme of misinformation and how we blog is still very much relevant.

The First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit - How misinformation affects us all.

Hope you're having a great time!

Did anyone VIDEO the Divine Ms. C?    If so, please upload video ASAP!!

Posted by Cheryl Johnson, Bob Taylor Properties, Inc., Los Angeles, CA 16 days ago

I love you guys. What an amazing and fun experience. Jeremy and I had an interesting moment explaining the fact that members only posts are not viewed by the public or indexed by the search engines, so to get the full effect people needed to sign up for the free account so they could experience the likes of TLW and several other writers during my sessions. Had mad fun explaining the dynamics of jacking blogs and the resulting traffic. It was really an honor and a privilege to show you guys off today. They may never look at this group the same again. I loved the AHA moments and believed it started to click for a lot of people.

I have so much material collected it may take a while for me to answer you all but I plan to be back on this post in the morning. I am working on a recap that you can experience it in pictures, video and film. Wordy C is making music and will get wordy for ya before I head home. Gonna hang with some of the Ambassadors tomorrow and check out some more of my faves. The responses to your posts were tremendous. Thank you. :-)

Posted by C Tann-Starr (TannStarr.com TannStarr.ws REMAX People Realty) 16 days ago

Cheryl, I admit to hoarding some video (LOL). Will I post it? Maybe... Okay, just a little (LMAO). ;-)

Thank you, Dawn, it was a pleasure to meet you. Hope to see you again one day. :-)

LOL @ June. ;-)

Dale, you most certainly were not too late. I was showing you guys off all day. :-)

TLW, you have your own channel THAT WAS PLENTY!!! (More like too much funny information Hahahahahaaa!) I have infected them with the I can write anything I want on my blog post bug (ROTFLMAO). The "do not have fun police" are really going to hate me later because I have given birth to new bay-bays in the Rain (Hahahahahaaaaaa!!!) Some of these people may never write the same way again. A few may even purchase shotguns. :-D

Craig, Wanda, Diane, mad cool. Thank you. :-)

ROTFL @ Ralph. Now there's a YouTube video I would pay money to see (LMAO) ;-)

Canydland, you ROCK! I'll call you later. Maybe we can try and set up a Skype par-tay while I am still in NC. That would be mad fun, eh? If we do I will film it so the other bay-bays can see and hear us. I have to talk to Carol first. It's her house. ;-)

C-Sally-C and Anna Banana, thank you. We are indeed having a blast over here. :-)

SarahGray, you have got to e-mail me your digital pictures so I can include some of them in my photo montage from Camp. It was a pleasure meeting you and I look forward to our next visit. Maybe I can swing by Chapel Hill before heading back to NY. I will call you and see what your schedule is like. Love, C. :-)

Nellie, nothing like having a "duh" moment after driving 555.7 miles only to discover after sitting in the parking lot watching Rainers drive off that you left the address to your speaking assignment at home (ROTFLMAO). Good thing I'm a Google Whore with a Mobile Outside Office (and my TomTom wasn't playing DumbDumb by dropping the satellite) or I would never have figured out I was only 300 yards away from Camp participation (LMAO). Talk about having a transparent conversation during a "How To Write Transparently" seminar (LOL). Now there's a Kodak moment for ya' ;-)

Matt, Dakno.com and another company covered Camp. I will try and find the links and post it. I my have to ask E Thorne. :-)

Sherry, I had a lot fo fun with that one too! (LOL) I was on the laptop almost non-stop. Everytime I sat somewhere people would start a blogging, software and/or electronic conversation with me. It was fun. :-)

OMG - I met Lori Bee! How cool was that? VERY (LOL). ;-)

Russell, I love your style and those were awesome examples. Thank you, my dear friend. :-)

Roland!!! We have sooo gotta get together! I shall be malingering in NC. Call me. Text me. Find me (LOL). ;-)

Ann, that was mad cool. Never thought I'd see people lined up in the hall listening to Wordy C through an open door while taking notes (LOL). Who knew being a Google Whore out to monetize blogs would make me so popular? What a scary thought... (LMAO) Wonder what we are going to do today... Lets YouTube it because my darling, lovely Cher wants film and the wee people would enjoy seeing their Mama. Gotta keep the bay-bays happy (LOL). ;-)

Anne Marie has never been high-jacked? Hmm... I may have to do something about that later on (LOL) ;-)

Ahhhhh Erica, stellar selection. Now there's an oldie but goodie that was a lot of fun (LOL). Margaret Rome had to call me from MD to point out I finally broke the 300k point of no return. How did I miss that little detail? Oh well... playing in the Rain is mad fun. I guess I shall have to work on 400k and throw a virtual par-tay later (LOL). ;-)

Kathleen, you ROCK. That was too funny. We couldn't resist high-jacking your blog (LMAO). ;-)

Debe, that was amazing and thank you for the kind words. :-)

Mama Liz, awesome and thank you. ;-)

Brad, I am cooking up a Monster post (LMAO). I may actually behave and write something useful... or not... but it will be mad fun (ROTFL). I am in tears cracking up laughing over here. Been working this thing since yesterday and I have to get it done by Sunday. Will be sending a link to Daniel at Inman. He threw down the gauntlet so we're going to be playing RDU blog tag (LOL). ;-)

Margaret, very cool post and yup, it most certainly did (LOL). I loved checking that listing out with you. I showed the Excalibur off at Camp. People went GaGa over that car. Being able to demonstrate that you can read a blog post and then experience the reality for yourself was priceless. I think more writers are going to be willing to travel out of state to collect their own eye candy if someone inspires them to explore life rather than buy a stock photograph. Your post made my job easier in this respect. Thank you. :-)

Paddy, I was talking about my mother and they way they sell houses down there at dinner (LOL). ;-)

Connie, I am in love. Did I mention I am in love with you? I am in love, people. Chicka is MAD FUNNY!!!!! Plus, she has "food porn" (ROTFLMO). You guys know how much I love taking pictures of my food and blogging about where I ate. Connie has FOODIE PARADISE SHOTS that are amazing. I love this woman... We can eat and hang and share picture of our foodie paradise adventures (LOL). I know, I know, bad blogging mommy. I am supposed to be showing off pictures of my kids (Duh? WTF??? Hahahahahaaa!). ;-)

 

Gotta go out. Will be back to chat with you guys more very soon. Time for breakfast. Ambassador Carol is up (LOL). :-)
