Blog Posts & Quixote

Hola!  There I was, inviting folks to post their photos, projects, thoughts, etc., and then I found out that in order to post, you need to have "Author" status!
No problem!  Please either post a comment in response, or "Follow" this blog and we'll invite you to Author!

There we were, in Baltimore at the TCG Conference, June 2009. We were having a good time, but we wanted more, and we had known that we'd want more even before we'd arrived! Diane Rodriguez felt it and Jesus Reyes sent the email: who wants to meet for lunch on Saturday? Unfortunately Karen Zacarías couldn't make it (her daughter was having her first dance recital on Saturday!) but the rest of us said yes and showed up, abrazos all around, introducing ourselves, talking a bit about our work while we ate our turkey wraps and potato chips. What came up: play & playwright networking, partnerships, staying in touch. Then too soon it was time to go, y más abrazos ~ but from that meeting this blog was born, so that we can meet more often online at least.

José González posed a question, and again we said yes, we'd think about it and respond:
