Thanks to Somewhere Over the Rhine for this...

...yes, kids. You heard that right, MTV's show Taking the Stage is taking place right here in Cincinnati @ the SCPA.

I think it will be great for the city.

BLOGGING: Seven new blogrolls and few updates today.

Lots of new stuff today!!!!

Thanks to Cincinnati Blog for constantly keeping me up to date on all the wonderful blogs here in the city... I had found both of these before but had never actually blogrolled them until today.

1. Just Past Central -- "Life in Cincinnati's Newest Old Neighborhood" -- OTR-focused blog.

2. Somewhere Over-the-Rhine -- "A site dedicated to Cincinnati's Over the Rhine Neighborhood" -- also an OTR-focused blog.

Also blogrolled today...

3. Benjamin Nicholas's 15 Minutes... -- NSFW -- the life of a professional escort.

4. Ex-Gay Watch -- News on conversion therapies. Excellent, excellent resource.

5. Fivethirtyeight.com -- Excellent updates on the election.

6. DemConWatch -- "News and views about the Democration National Convention and the 2008 Election."

7. 3 Blue Dudes -- Very much a Dem site following the 2008 election.

YEA FOR UPDATES!!!

Also, I am working on the layout a little bit. I'm trying to find a way to make the individual posts more distinct so that when we have text-heavy times, the individual posts don't blend together. You may see the look change a bit over the next couple of days... I kinda like the current look, but it may change.

Also, don't forget to check out the funny new VLOG from Danrambles.

BLOGGING: Soapbox Media Puts the Word out on Local Blogs...

...sadly, QueerCincinnati is not one of them.

But they do highlight a lot of great blogs here in the city. I've never heard of a few of them, though the buzz is that they focus almost exclusively on male-written blogs, which is true.

They leave out some significant ones, but that's the Cincinnati blogosphere shiftin since Jackie Danicki left.

The Cincinnati blog scene, and it is a “scene,” in the sense that bloggers tend to make references to one another, repost their friends’ articles and link their favorite blogs within their own space, is vibrant and prolific. It is also varied; you can find anything from info on how to improve your personal finances to where to buy a rare spice. Some of it is artistic, some political, some is comical, some whimsical – but it is all Cincinnati.

And the blogworld does feel "scene-like" here sometimes. But that's ok, I'm not above being the bastard step-child of another group. :-)

Our friends who are mentioned:
Cincinnati Blog
CityKin
Make Cincinnati Weird
Cincinnati Locovore (yea, Valeree!!!!)
UrbanCincy
'Nati Life
Somewhere Over the Rhine

YEA! Congrats you guys!

PS There's a local blogger's convention? I think I may just have to show up. My new MO: showing up uninvited to places. Or, rather, places I've been sort of invited to. I suppose that is an open event.
