While Greg and Brian are talking about “Battling Back”; Eric, Teri and I have been talking about “Throwing Parties”.\u00a0 As in Rent Parties.<\/p>\n

If you are not familiar with the term, Rent Parties flourished in Harlem in the 1920s and 1930s.\u00a0 Musicians would make the rounds after their paying gigs, guests would pay a small admission fee to dance and party all night at someone’s apartment, and the host would end up with enough money to pay the landlord for another month.<\/p>\n

Greg’s revealing personal post yesterday inspired the idea that we could throw a Rent Party online.\u00a0 And. the party could boogie on 24\/7\/365.<\/p>\n

To my surprise the domain name virtualrentparty.com was available.\u00a0 By last night I had the bare bones foundation of the site up and running; and Teri had incredible visions of the good work that could be done.\u00a0 You can see our work at http:\/\/www.virtualrentparty.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I am plumb tuckered out.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Anyone who would like to work with us on building out the content please tell us in the comments; we’re thinking everything from video dance contests, to straight talk around the kitchen table about putting your financial life together.\u00a0 I will quickly and gratefully send any volunteer a login ID and password.<\/p>\n

And yes, there are already a couple donations in the hat.\u00a0 I certainly respect that you didn’t intend to induce charity, Mr. Swann, but there it is, your friends won’t leave you to face trouble alone.\u00a0 If you won’t accept the funds, I bet Cathleen’s foster pet project would happily accept them, or Teri has some ideas in her community too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
