Happy New Year!
I’ve been away – and in all the holiday excitement, I’ve totally forgotten to blog about this.
Michael Verdi is putting on a 24 hour webcast to celebrate the 24th anniversary of the theater company he’s involved with. He’s given an hour each to 24 different artists. I’ll be on at 7am Pacific Time – 3pm GMT/UTC on Saturday 3rd January.
Some of the performers are videobloggers, but there are a lot of other people from all over the world.
Check it out now at 24hours24artists.com
It’s midnight now – I need some sleep before my show!
