Breaking right into the first person here. What do I say about this episode? Historically a Salon is a intellectual gathering where the hostess gathers a group of interesting people together to discuss politics, literature, art, music and other topics of the day. It would last over a long dinner which included several courses. These salons attracted the intellectual elite and were meant to educate and amuse their guests. I always loved the idea of a good salon. People wielded power in salons. Each Lounging with LannaLee episode acts as if it were a mini-salon, with me and one or two guests. When I Lounged with Candace Karu I told her of my dream: to do a larger scale lounge. And to my great surprise and immense pleasure, she volunteer to host a dinner party at her house so we could do this. We chose our dream team (detailed below) and got to planning. And here it is. A cacophony of awesome. Our theme was creativity, the life of the creative. Did we even answer all of the questions? I don't know, but we had a blast. We had some beatbox action, one of us dissed Chris Brogan, we laughed and joked. And talked about what is important in life. How we should follow the golden rule. How we should get rid of our fear. We laughed some more. I sang. Almost a whole song before I forgot the words. Most of us cursed at least once. There are many pictures (posted below, with slide shows). There is a video (posted on the LLL Facebook Page). And there is a bunch more audio, which is to come later. Only time for so much. I would quote more, but some of it loses its meaning without the context. You know what I mean. This was a glorious experiment that turned out better than I expected. We had so much fun, we are planning on doing it again. Should we? I am thinking that four times a year is good. What do you think? Note: we had a problem with the sound. There are 3 occasions where there are short bouts of hissing. I apologize for any annoyances this might cause. It does go away.

From the Q97.9 studios, Jeff and Lanna talk about Pinball, game shows and the radio business. They reminise about blogging before it was called blogging. Lanna asks how to break into radio. Jeff describes his first love (pinball) and cops to his obsession with everything Bob Barker and The Price as Right. And he answers 10 questions.
Jeff Parsons in his own words
I've been a radio personality for almost 21 years, 16 of which have been with WJBQ Q97.9 in Portland. I'm a father of a six-year-old boy going on sixteen, a pinball player, video game player, sci-fi geek, computer nerd, poker player who never wins and I wish I could have been the next Bob Barker but instead they hired that pantload Drew Carey without even giving me a look. I also enjoy Necco wafers and dislike animals, two things very uncommon with humans.

Next week: Chris Brogan
Lanna will be speaking at the Social Media Breakfast Maine on Friday, September 28th
Bee and Lanna talk about criticism, literature, writing and education. Bee explains why she dropped out of college and went to beauty school. Spoiler: they talk about spoilers, and why they each surround themselves with people who are easy to entertain. Bee goes back to school and she tells Lanna how it feels to have writer's block. And she answers 10 questions.
Bee Round in her own words
Dilettante? Raconteuse? Can a woman be a Renaissance Man? Music, teaching, photography, writing, baking, collecting, musing... opining. Fame has never come knocking but I never asked for it either. Half the time I feel like I'm just tripping over all the things I'm interested in and and the rest of the time I'm apologizing for being such a hermit-nerd. I think "interested" people find themselves surrounded by "interesting" people and opportunities... If I had a philosophy for life that may be it... Be Interested.
