Hello my lovely minions. This here is a virtual meeting of Jaded Empire Media, Inc. so grab a note pad, pencil, highlighter and a beer from the fridge. We have some work to do.
1- I've been delinquent in naming prize winners from my "Thank You" post last month and I apologize. I was probably in the middle of a Pity Party and didn't have time. But whatever, I'm on my game now and the winners are:
Irene, who gets a FREE book from the Jaded Library
Don, who won free EXCLUSIVE Jaded Greeting Cards
Smarty, who won a Jaded Tee, and
Brother Omi, who won a Jaded Mug
I will be reaching out to all of you individually to give you your prizes; thanks again for your continued support of my Empire!
2- I wrote an article for XI Magazine on a great musician, Jerzy Jung, and you all need to read it and leave a comment so that the editors know I can draw a crowd. Cool? Cool. Also, feel free to subscribe to XI and check in with them often; I'll be contributing regularly from now on.
3- La Pluma y La Tinta, my Latina Writers Group, will once again be hosting the New Voices Reading Series starting in September. All we need is a fresh batch of readers...and a venue. The place I want is unavailable (mostly because they won't return my calls or emails...rat bastards) and the place I can get is charging us $50 per event. So get on out there, minions, and find me a performance space AND some kick-ass writers to feature. PRONTO!
4- Your favorite online radio show (and mine!!), Monday Musings, starts back on September 13th to kick off Latino Heritage Month and you won't want to miss all the new goodies we have in store. But again, my lovelies, I will need your help to spread the word. Let's make Season 3 the one that puts us on the map as THE show to listen to every Monday night. Join my Monday Musings Street Team!! Email me for more details (rpenzo@thejadednyer.net).
5- To date, I have submitted 4 short stories to 5 different journals/contests, because I'm super serious about OPERATION: Published by 2011! And I have to admit that I got a bit of a boost from my unemployment, but mostly from this awesome movement, Field Of Dreams-ing, started by my sister from another mister, Bangs and a Bun. Click HERE to read more about it and then get out of my way...I'm on a mission to make my dreams come true.
With a little help from my friends, of course!
*smooches...checking out Manhattan real estate for our headquarters*

unless, of course, you know of a place with a great view of the skyline in Brooklyn? I'm open to some ideas...can we get something with a panic room, tho? I've been obsessed with having one since I saw the film!!

Woohoo! I won something. Although, I'm wondering if Don is willing to trade with me cause I'd love some greeting cards! ;)
I want to talk to you about an idea for your show. IT'S A GOOOOOOD ONE and has to do with my personal journey to discover myself. I think it'd be hella interesting. It might be good for Latino Heritage Month, or maybe it would be better for Black History Month. I don't know. We'll have to talk.
I wish, I wish, I wish I had my bookstore already up and running. If so, you could pick your night and have the space for free. Ok, the only price you'd have to pay is a free copy of anything you or your group publishes. I'm a shameless hoarder of other people's words.
Time to get off my butt and start my business proposal.
*shuffles in late*
Sorry I'm late. I was busy taking down this poster in my office. *holds up "Pollyanna" poster*
Anybody know how it got there? I take it down every day and then like clock work, it reappears.
I am guessing there are a slightly more relaxed set of rules for your Distance Minions and Sisters in Gemini.
I commented on your article and that Field of Dreams is bawse. I love being surrounded by people going after their dreams; it has a positive affect on you.
