I'm happy to let you know Kidaround will be back in circulation July 1 thanks to new publisher Kara Turner. Thanks again.

Happy One Year! May the future be bright! Belinda Farage 2011-02-27T19:35:19Z JAT comment-46185 2011-02-22T20:02:23Z 2011-02-22T20:02:23Z Congratulations to a wonderful regional treasure!

Perhaps someone will step up to bank roll a Beta version of Kidaround. I'm sure Sacramento moms will hear from Barbara Hennelly again ...

Kidaround was one of the first resources I turned to after our daughter, Carly, was born. Thank you for putting out such a quality and helpful magazine, you will be missed.

I found this magazine to be well written, nicely designed, and extremely creative. Thanks to all the writers and to Barbara for pulling together such a great magazine for five years.

I'm glad the article moved you and curious about your own "local rag." I have a friend whose yearly zine is my annual reading treat. She and her sister write, design and publish it and their voice is so fresh. I wonder: are many mommies reading sac press? Come on, weigh in local mamas!

I had problems with a local rag 16 years ago, before everything went digital. I'm sorry to see Kidaround leave.

I enjoyed "A Heartreaking Work of a Staggering Genius", but haven't read anything he's done since. Thank you both for your coverage, I may have to check out Zeitoun.

I'm thankful for the chane to post at Sac Press. Writing is fun! Eggers was inspirational I thought. I hadn't expected to enjoy the lecture as much as I did. The book is fabulous too.

You covered some elements that I had left out of my own review. Keep on posting! Dane Johnson 2010-10-22T06:34:01Z Dane Johnson comment-39341 2010-10-22T06:28:42Z 2010-10-22T06:28:42Z haha, Lindol, would you like to contribute your take on the Eggers lecture as well? The more perspectives the better it seems:) Dane Johnson 2010-10-22T06:28:42Z Lindol French comment-39338 2010-10-22T05:56:03Z 2010-10-22T05:56:03Z http://sacramentopress.com/headline/39308/Dave_Eggers_speaks_at_The_Crest_Theatre Lindol French 2010-10-22T05:56:03Z weishaark comment-35785 2010-08-27T23:36:19Z 2010-08-27T23:36:19Z Finishing up my second reading of the Outlander series as my daughter finishes up her 1st round and mother is beginning book #2. My daughter and I are traveling to Scotland in October just to see as many Outlander sights as possible and you can bet we're bringing our precious stones! We're all avid readers (primarily classics, history, historical and science fiction with social commentary) - and the Outlander series has become one of our all-time favorites - we think Diana is absolutely brilliant, aye! weishaark 2010-08-27T23:36:19Z MerrilyMerrily comment-35337 2010-08-22T02:00:20Z 2010-08-22T02:00:20Z Cool!

Once again, I have managed to miss out on a local event that I would have love to have been a part of. :( I'll have to go next year if there's another. It's still really great to know that there are other aspiring writers out there who just love to tell stories and have their work shared, regardless of whether or not it makes them money. I think the best writers write because they're passionate about it, not because they're out to make a buck or pen a best-seller. Chelsey Vorst 2010-08-03T18:12:15Z
