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!
Congratulations on number #1000! Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. There outta be an award for this.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteThat's a whole heck of a lot of typos, Chuckster! :o)
Jon, Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDenise, 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!
ReplyDeleteRyan, thanks for the kind words! All I can say is, "Aw, shucks!"

ReplyDeleteZach, 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.
ReplyDeleteBut 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!
