i decided to work with one of the blog ideas i saw floating around on twitter. (http://twitter.com/SoGoProStreet <-- follow it if you're not already) i think i'll tell you about when i first discovered sgp...hmmm. how did it happen??
well.
i believe i was on february break from class, and i had a lot of extra time on my hands. so in all honesty, i was watching youtube video after youtube video, rotting my brain away. i had a mug of some warm beverage on my desk, and a plate of, probably sushi.. (gotta have my spicy crunchy tuna rolls!!) & a video popped up in my 'suggested for you section' on the home page.
it read: "introducing nick gray (writer of hilarie burton's new film "Pedestrian")"
and here i am, before i even click on the link..
"what pedestrian?"
"did i miss a trailer?'
"who's nick gray?"
"what an odd, but abstinent last name"
"hilarie burton's in a new movie written by this gray guy!?"
ya.. no. so i watched the vid, then bopped on over to blogspot! & bam, was talking to liz & megan & sue! talking about quilts and wow, hellick. so it has been a good..ten months?! i don't even feel it! every second meeting these wonderful people involved with sogopro, and spending my money on books & t shirts & new artist's tunes' has been a blast. it is something i've enjoyed every part & every aspect of.
& blogging about it, to share with everyone who understands how i feel, it's, well, it's inspiring & fun! & once uppon a limerick i wrote, nicholas gray (that gray gay, that pedestrian person) called me intuitive & his comment has been the occasional burst of ego & adoration for my art that i need
so thanks again kendall!

SGP Pride! Update
So far so good, folks! Glad to see you all finding your own ways to utilize this space!
Just a few things I wanted to mention:
1) If you have any suggestions for the layout of this blog- please please please let me know! While I have a basic understanding of graphics and layouts, this blog is for the Street Team! Eventually when things are more organized there will be more jobs for more folks to jump in on as far as blog maintainance goes:)
2) Spread the word! Let's try to fill up our 100 Contributing Author spots! This will require a bit of effort on every author's part. Just as you want your posts to be seen we want the world the see and read about our SGP pride!
3)If you haven't noticed yet, the SoGoProStreet Twitter will feature daily blogging ideas, and might ask questions regarding SGP in hopes that you'll blog about them. Last night there was a question, "If The Hellick could read a you a bedtime story, it'd be?" - It was great to see a few responses to that! Look out for more just like that in the future.
4)You might notice the tags at the bottom of each entry. While you are personally not required to do that, do know that most likely tags will be given to your blog posts. This is a way to start off being organized. In the future, we may want to find a specific author, or a certain type of contribution posted here- I thought there's no better way than to start off the organization right away :)
5. Please make sure you've read the Mission Statement/Guides + Expectations before you start posting :) With so many contributors, we'll all want to be on the same page!
