Suzy...Thank you so much for this wonderful blog post! None of this would be possible without amazing committee members like you and all of the RhyPiBoMo Members who have supported these 2 events from the beginning. We are blessed to have Julie Gribble and KidLitTV's support and promise to send lots of photos from New York! Thanks again!!
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure, Angie. I am honored to serve on the Best in Rhyme Committe. Thank YOU for all that you do as you share the love of rhyming picture books with the kid lit community. The RPB Revolution is sure to be a grand event. ~Suzy
DeleteYes...ditto a million times! Thanks so much, Suzy...I think I've been so busy with other stuff, this kind of got by me...not that I would have been able to attend...but I'm sorry I wasn't more involved in knowing what was happening. I'll def look into the at home option...and of course, the auction. ;)
ReplyDeleteCongrats and best wishes to all involved...as someone who LOVES to write in rhyme, I'm thrilled this has come together with such a bang...kudos to Angie Karcher...for bringing rhyme to the spotlight and helping the world (you are rocking it out in NYC - that is stellar!) see how important rhyming books are for kids! And Tanja Bauerle...awesome logo!!!!
The life of a writer is a busy one for sure, Vivian. I enjoy reading and writing across genres, so I, too, find it a challenge to keep up with all of the many excellent writing opportunities and events. Thank you for finding a moment to squeeze in time to read the GROG Blog.

Great blog post, Suzy. I couldn't attend, but I purchased the video that will be available after the event. Wish I could go. Angie and the ladies rock rhyme!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Charlotte, for reading today's post on the GROG blog. The video should be the next best thing for those of us unable to attend the grand event in NYC.

Great post! I am so glad that Randi talked me into going. Well, to be honest, it didn't take much arm twisting. Can't wait to meet everyone in person!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the sights and sounds of NYC, Ellen, and the RPB Revolution.

What a wonderful weekend this will be!
ReplyDeleteMay you enjoy the experience, Patty. I look forward to hearing all about RPB Revolution.
DeleteAppreciations Suzy for all these great deertales.
ReplyDeleteIt will be a fabulous weekend & I hope we can look forward to a Group Blog post from you & Patty, (you or Patty, too) with photos & stories.
Will be with you in spirit as my hubby & I walk the beach - we were both having some phases of ick (now long gone) sick at our anniversary so our getaway is that weekend.
You two go & have a great time with Angie. Her warm & generous nature is legend.
Just like you, Jan, I look forward to hearing all about the RPB Revolution. Even though I will not be in attendance, do watch for future posts.
DeleteYou are correct, Angie is warm and generous.
