Like many of my colleagues, I'm gearing up for blogher! I'm going on an extended trip (10 days) which kicks off with the blogher conference and ends with NCDD conference - with lots inbetween. At the NCDD Conference, I'm working with Loretta Donovan and Chris Heuer on a BrainJam. What's cool is that the BrainJam uses a World Cafe model and the other day I learned that Juanita Brown, the co-originator of the World Cafe will be in the room!
So, I purchased her book last week so I could read it on the plane. The doorbell rings this morning and I leave my computer to get my book from the UPS man. I come back to my computer and a SKYPE call from Nancy White comes in who tells me she is at Juanita's house working on a girl geeks supporting the World Cafe global community and showing Juanita how to use SKYPE! We chatted and had a group call -- mostly squeeling delights at the kismit!
Update: Just got skyped about the link to her book and corrected it! Here's Nancy post on this kismet.

It is so exciting to come to your blog and see that you have connected to the World Cafe. I'm just learning in relation to the on-line world and I feel like I am like Alice in Wonderland coming through the looking glass and I'm entering a magic land of how communities are arising and strengthening their connections around the world.
Thank you for "seeing" our potential.
Fond regards,
Juanita
