Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

>> You Are Invited
to the "Solstice through New Years Light-the-World" Word Jam

>> Who?
You who understand that hearts must be warmed in
bleak winter months, you who celebrate by sharing
the great light within you, you who enjoy decorating
the world with words from the flame of your heart.
It is a magical time of year! Whether you celebrate
the winter Solstice, Sacaea, Saturnalia, Yule, Christmas,
Chanukah, Kwanza, or another winter holiday or
even none at all – If you celebrate Life, you are invited.

>> When?
From the shortest day of the year, the Winter Solstice,
Monday December 21, 2009 – 3PM ET
until - Friday, January 1st, 2010 – 3PM ET

>> Where?
at Studio Eight - Uniting the Arts
http://studioeight.tv/phpbb

>> Why?
Because seasons cycle,
daylight wanes then brightens,
all life renewed by light & rhythm,
the insistence of an incessant star dance,
our earth on a tilted axis drawing a circle
around the sun, and the whirl of life revolves.

Because though we cannot solve a winter
mystery, we can discover our journey
connected to each other, lovers of
words and the art of the creative universe.
Because together we can light the world!

>> What?
Never been to a Word Jam? Word Jams are a series
of ongoing spontaneous writing events hosted by
Studio Eight dot TV
http://studioeight.tv/phpbb

>> BYOM
Bring Your Own Muse Or Get Inspired By The Muse Of Others

>> NOTE
Please feel free to post your artwork or photography to the Jam
thread, as well as your words.

Hope to see you there!

Read about winter holidays throughout history all around the world at Candlegrove. This is an interesting and delightful site!
http://www.candlegrove.com/home.html "Five thousand years of human history – maybe more – have enfolded this season in rich garb – many layers of celebration, folklore and tradition."

Can some of you let me know if you got this announcement by email? I sent out an email to all the members but I'm not sure if it went through because I didn't get a copy. Thanks!

OK good! Thanks, Mike!

looking forward to seeing you for the jam, too, mb! ... it'll be a holiday JAMboree! (still never got my email copy but hey, as long as you got it, i know it went out! i appreciate it!)

got it. now gotta find the jam!

Judih... It opens tomorrow 3PM ET. It'll be at the top of the page.

It's probably already the 21st where you are... but it's not 3PM ET yet

time zone dissonance
we're solstice jamming in ~Go meantime

yeah i saw that ... after i decided to use last year's announcement for the name of the event so i didn't have to write it all over again.. lol... I re-gifted it, recycled it, changed the dates and there it is!

then i posted it and after that i saw your GO solstice jam

GMTA

wish there was a way to combine them but it's not possible i don't think... i can MOVE the jam you started in GO! to start the jam event tomorrow... but the software doesn't allow for a merge ...

Hmmm, tricky software nuances.
Do what is possible, but still the solstice jam is a pre-start - it would be ideal to label it as such and include it.

(happy dreams to you - i'm off to work)

Done. We've started early and I thank you! I moved it...

Happy work day to you!

oh, that was a clever seam! well -done and a festive banner to set us off. (working from home today)

!
hey

I left the Jam unlocked. down the page....

if you all want me to move it back up for another week... the first week of Twenty Ten... let me know

lettin you know
yeah!
(please with demerara sugar but not too much)
