I felt rude saying the Red Roland Go is not really mon truc but had to be honest! I wish I could play but that ship has sailed and I am concentrating on painting and writing these days. Really looking forward to March 12th. I lived in the Dordogne in my twenties (1980s) - le paradis. One day our neighbours brought us boar sausages they had made themselves after a little one got knocked over by a car. I was very conflicted but in those days we were penniless and free food was free food!

Il me tarde de vous rencontrer. Bisous.

haha pas de soucis pour le piano. In fact, I didn't want the red one but it was on special and I decided to save money. Now I kinda like it ❣️ Also saucisse de sanglier--my husband loves it! See you on the 12th--bring whatever you want to work on. Last week we had two visual artists in the group plus a bunch of writers and someone learning to interpret tarot cards, among others! 😊

Hi Karen, I love a poll, bring ‘em on. 😃 I was hiking solo near Autoire last October when I had my first Sanglier encounter. I saw it first, it was right next to me, and when it saw me, it went crazy and was running all over eventually crossing over the hiking path and off it went. It was a young one. I loved it! I was wondering when that would happen as I’ve done a lot of hiking in France. At least it didn’t chase me, that I wouldn’t be into…

Oh Lord ! That is so scary to me, especially because with un marcassin (a young sanglier) you are in a much more dangerous position if the mother is in the area!! You are my hero but I will never attain the heights of your bravery, even though I love them from afar 🐗💕

Also, yes, POLLS! I never get enough of ‘em.

I was getting un peu inquiet (sadly, used a translator!) that you weren't going to have it. Shew! And thank you for hosting. Love le piano rouge - did know that :).

Hi Karen, thank you so much for offering this creative meet-up! I think it's wonderful!

I'm presently in LA and just not sure of the starting time here. Just wanting to confirm the Paris starting time please, then I can calculate. You are 9 hours ahead I believe. My computer is Australian, like me, and it's only giving me Australian time, which is 4-5am. Merci!

Hello! Here's a link to a Time Zone Converter so you can keep track of times in any city. On March 5 in LA the event starts at 9AM but here's a link showing a number of times for different cities on that date. You can plug in the time you see on the invite for any date and it will tell you what time wherever you are! Let me know if you have any trouble and we'll be so happy to see you there -- bring whatever you're working on ❣️

Hi, Karen

I would really like to sign up for the salon. I'm not quite sure what I would have to offer.

Hi!! You do not need to offer anything at all! Just sign up and bring something you want to work on and I’ll explain the rest. It’s really just time together to prioritize our dreams! Hope to see you there!!

Love this idea, Karen! I'll definitely be joining once we're settled in in Valencia 🥰
