I’m extremely excited about tomorrow’s Rain City conversation!
I invite the entire RCG community to join us at 4pm on Tuesday for a conversation with Tracy Record, the local community expert who runs the West Seattle blog.
My plan is to talk with her about the vibe of West Seattle, what’s she’s learned running the blog and what some of her favorite neighborhood places. In addition, I’ll open up the phone lines to YOU so please come with your questions for this person behind this wonderful local resource!
If you’d like to join the conversation, then please consider calling in. All the details on our the Rain City conversation page of Talkshoe!
And to answer the most common question from last week: You can listen into the conversation by calling in using ANY phone… However, if you want to get on-the-air, then it really helps me if you log into TalkShoe so that you can ping me in the chat room when you have a question or comment! Again, all the details (and there aren’t many) are on the Rain City conversation page of Talkshoe!
By the way, I’ll announce our guest for next week’s show tomorrow on the show! I have a feeling that this series of podcasts are going to turn into something really special so set aside 4pm on Tuesdays so you can always take part! And if you haven’t tried taking part in a group podcast yet, I highly recommend logging into this show. You might be surprised just how much you enjoy it!
UPDATE: You can listen to this interview by clicking here or going to the post where I outlined the interview about with Tracy from the West Seattle blog
I’m looking forward to this, Dustin! Tracy and I have not met yet…(we almost did once, but that’s another story)…we do chat from time to time when we have a story or tip for each others blog. WSB rocks! 🙂
I agree that WSB rocks and have used it in presentations for what a local blog can be… Tracy has done some great stuff with the site!
Hey Dustin, Tracy has mentioned her upcoming conversation at WSB too: http://westseattleblog.com/blog/?p=8508
I don’t see a trackback…so I thought I’d share a link to WSB.
Also, I added a widget to the sidepanel… I’m pretty sure that when we get close to 4pm today, the widget will update itself and encourage people to join in the conversation! 😉
Dustin, being a WS-ite of course I really enjoyed this interview. 🙂 It has me wondering just how much WSB has impacted our community-I’m wonder what WS would be like w/out WSB…I’m thinking we would not have the same sense of community as a whole. It would still be a great place to live…except we’d be missing some of the glue that binds us together.

It was a fabulous conversation about the future of the news media, for sure. Oddly I’m on my way to West Seattle for a pre-listing appointment. I rarely go there and the night we’re doing The West Seattle Blog is the night we have an appointment. I’ll have to check out some of the spots mentioned! Not “Easy Street” of course 🙂 Doubt Kim has to go “see” it, since he started it. But we’d love to run into Matt sometime.
Does anyone know if Matt (current owner and Kim’s step-son) hangs out there?
