You're Reading Post #1000!

Amazing to realize that, in addition to President's Day, today we can celebrate Post #1000 for this humble blog site.

When my pals at the Herald-Dispatch invited me to write this blog, I hoped to bring attention to the efforts by many people to bring community theatre to life in our area.

That continues to be our focus, and I have to say, it's been a lot of fun and I've made many new friends along the way.

It's encouraging to note that this blog continues to draw strong web traffic - a testament to the interest in local theatre.

I wanted to take a moment to thank my editor, Andrea, to my wife and family, and to the readers out there - you all make this blog fun to work on!

As always, I encourage our readers to make comments, send in information, and enjoy the blog!

It continues to be a lot of fun for me - and I hope it's the same for you!

It took 28 months to create 1000 posts - let's see if we can hit #2000 in less time!

As always, thanks for reading!

Jon, Thanks!

Denise, my reward is getting to hear from my friends and readers! ;-)

Mark, you're so right! That's the thing about blogging - no matter how carefully I proofread, there's always a typo or two that I don't see until after I've posted the comment. Luckily, I can alway edit them later - and I have friends who can point out when I go astray. ;-)

Two smiley faces in one post - I think that's a record for me!

Congrats, Chuck! I'm really glad you're so dedicated. I know it's a lot of work keeping up with everything. If you ever start to wonder whether it's worth it, know that you're appreciated!

Zach, thanks! Since I consider this "our" blog (the "our" being all of us who enjoy community theatre), I welcome reviews, commentary and essays of all shapes and sizes! I certainly can't make it to every show, so guest reviews are most welcome! Feel free to email such things to me at TheMinskers@aol.com.

But I should add that I reserve the right to edit for grammar and spelling according to the Associated Press stylebook. Also, abusive language is right out. Otherwise, go for it!
