Le Chat Coffeehouse Living is a political act.

My writer's group, StreetWrites, is getting active again!  One of the projects I hoped would stimulate people is a group blog, and it seems to be working.  Not only are people posting to Out of the Margins, they are also spinning off to set up their own blogs.  Now we have:

• Out of the Margins: group blog of StreetWrites, a homeless/low-income writer's collective
• Adventures in Bloggery: the collected columns (1995 to present) of © Dr. Wes Browning (aka Anitra's Sweetie, aka Real Change Resident Mad Genius, aka He Who Feeds Sid)
• Somewhat Art, because Wes wanted to posted his art images in their own blog
• Wes Runoff, for everything else Wesley
• Stories of August Mallory, by one of our most prolific Real Change vendors (he used to have a column in the Washington DC street  newspaper)
• Kat o' Nine Tales by Kevin Vanderhoef
• Emily's Garden, by Emily Francisca (who is also working on a new homepage)

Galaxie is also a StreetWrites member, but he has had his MySpace here for quite awhile, so I can't claim to have inspired it.

All of this blogging seems to have gotten to Tim Harris, aka He Whom Sid Allows to Call Himself Director of Real Change.  He himself has finally fallen to the blogging bug.

As long as I am mentioning blogs, you can find all of these blogs and more at my StumbleUpon blog.
