I'm new to the tribe and was excited by the fact that this tribe exists. I look forward to participating.

I'm also trying to set up a reading series for new writers of spec fic to take place at Borderlands. I think we pretty much all know where that is, but just in case you don't, it is located on Valencia between 19th and 20th in SF. Alan and Jude have agreed to the concept of the reading series and have set aside a time for the reading to occur Friday, once a month, after normal operating hours.

We're trying to set this thing up for the same reasons, I presume, that this tribe exists: to create opportunities to meet each other, talk to each other, share our work and generally start the process of creating a writer' community here in SF.

We're calling it The Chopping Block Reading Series. Not sure why, but it just sounded cool. There is a tribe, quite fresh, that we've started to get things going. We need your help, all of you if possible. Alan and Jude, the owners and operators of Borderlands would like the series to be self-functioning. We need to attract writers and listeners, but right now, mostly writers. If you would like to read, or listen, or participate in any way, join the tribe and we'll see if we can get this thing going.

Check out choppingblock.tribe.net or search the tribe for The Chopping Block. You could also click on my link and it will show up among my tribes. Thanks folks. Hope to hear from you soon.
