Champagne for everybody!


LYRIC O’ THE DAY:
You’re so perfect, you’re so right as rain
You make me, make me, make me hungry again
--Why Can’t I Be You? The Cure
Very excited to say that today I’m joining Rachael Harrie’s Third Writer’s Platform-Building Champagne.  This event seeks to link those of like mind, purpose, and taste and mesh them into a network of writerly love and Cristal.
Didn’t know anything about this before, but here’s what she’s looking for:
“bloggers in a similar position, who genuinely want to pay it forward, make connections and friends within the writing community, and help build each others' online platforms while at the same time building theirs”
In other words:
*Meet new bloggers
**Meet new writer friends
***Participate in fun bloggy challenges.
For a baby blogger like me, this sounds like a blast.
You can sign up between now and August 31st and the campaign runs until October 31st.  First challenge is September 5th.
But I couldn’t help but wonder, when does the champagne come in?  There are so many possibilities: champagne cocktails, champagne cake, champagne sauce, champagne soup, champagne granita, champagne frosting, champagne vinaigrette. . .I can put Forrest Gump's shrimp to shame. 
Hmmm?
What’s that?
Oh.

Color me embarrassed.
Still good.  And just as bubbly.
Hope to meet you there.

    I dunno. A Platform-building champagne would be pretty cool too! (Hee.) Just a campaigner dropping by to say hello!

    I participated in the second campaign and was probably the worst participant ever. I learned my lesson and decided to sit this one out. Good luck to you though. Always look forward to reading your posts.

    I'm taking part in the campaign too, but champagne sounds good too. An extra challenge, perhaps?

    I am ALL about the champagne! I think it should be a mandatory part of each campaign challenge. ;)

    Thanks for dropping by my blog!

    Calling it a champagne works for me! I'm in the "champagne" as well, and I look forward to seeing what unfolds. Good to meet you!

    I was super excited when I read champagne and was set to make a toast. Although we're banding together in this CAMPAIGN, there's no reason we can't break out the bubbly :)

    This sounds interesting, although I was much more interested when champagne was involved. Thanks for the laugh. : )

    I've never heard of this before. I looked up her link and sent her an email to see if my blog would qualify. I'm just a blogger :)

    HOLY SMOKES!! It's a commentastic day! Like tribbles, they're popping up everywhere! This is going to be one wild ride of a campaign. Thanks to all of you for stopping by.

    I feel like I'm on a speed date, only nobody's staring at my boobs. At least not yet.

    If you are a new campaigner, I can't wait to meet you. We'll get to know each other over romantic candlelit dinners and talk about our dreams and hopes and fears while staring hopelessly into each other's blogs. And I'm thinking about you naked. Figuratively, of course.

    If we've been together awhile, I appreciate the support and connection. We've bonded and I trust you. You know some of my secrets but occasionally I'll throw in a surprise or two just to keep the romance alive (you do remember the furry pink handcuffs?) But most nights, I'm wearing my cat pajamas. I also may pass gas in front of you occasionally. Figuratively speaking, of course.

    Let the dating begin!

    Ha. I LOVE champagne! Cristal? Really??? Yum. I'm going to head over there this month and sign up, too. What a great idea. It would be so nice if Rachel would have the drinkable bubbly ready, too.

    I suppose a tequila is out of the question?

    You quoted lyrics from The Cure. I'm going to like it here :)

    What a wonderful opportunity. And you're so brave to do it. A-Z burned me out for awhile and that was like, months ago.

    The second platform-building campaign that Rach ran earlier this year is responsible for much of my online contacts.
