Scenes from the MPR open house

Posted at 4:30 PM on May 23, 2010 by Bob Collins (7 Comments)

Why do we love open houses and State Fairs at News Cut? Because we get a chance to be reminded that there are people out there who actually listen and read our stuff. Interesting people. Smart people. People with their own stories to tell if only there were a -- oh, I don't know -- blogger, perhaps, who specializes in telling their stories.

Here's how some people spent their Sunday afternoon.

Hi Bob,

Gah, my picture does me no favors or justice! :)

It was a pleasure to meet you and the rest of the MPR crew.

I wasn't happy with most of the pictures *I* took, but I uploaded the few that made the cut:

Hi, Bob - very nice to meet you today in person. The whole open house was a great experience, and I'd encourage other members to check it out. Thanks for the friendly tweet, and keep up the sweet work!

P.S. @Annabelle, are you going to use Google Buzz to help share your blog content?

It was a pleasure to meet the warm hearts of MPR in the UBS Forum at the fresh, clean and cool station of intelligence and inquiry :)

Thanks for the Open House. I wish I had arrived earlier although it was fun beings the among the last to close it out. Hopefully there'll be one next year, maybe next year MPR will remember "Hemp History Week" http://www.votehemp.com/hemphistoryweek.html

Blessings to MPR staff, volunteers, members and all connected.

Sorry for not commenting earlier, but our internet was down (gasp!)

It was delightful to take in the behind-the-scenes workings of MPR. I only wish that we could have seen the News Cut World Headquarters up close and personal, but we will settle for UBS forum. Now if you'll excuse me, I have finals to grade.
