Blackfive this week

Posted By Blackfive

I'll be on SpouseBuzz Radio on Thursday night at 8pm CST.

Join AWTM, as she speaks with fellow bloggers Matt Burden from Blackfive.net, and Author of the Blog of War, and Tim from Captain Patti, The Sweetest Woman on The Planet goes to Baghdad. Join us to discuss blogging. From the historical importance of sharing a story, to supporting those on the front, and a discussion of the new media.

And I'll be at Brown University's Watson Institute for International Studies on Friday and Saturday for its Front Line, First Person: Iraq War Stories Conference - a two-day conference that aims to create bridges for conversation across these new fault-lines and to understand better the capacities of different forms of storytelling to reach across boundaries and build connections at the human level.

My Panel will be:

The  Ground Truth from Iraq  to the Beltway and Back

• Colby Buzzell (blogger, author) “My War: Killing Time in Iraq”  Iraq vet
• Senator  Lincoln Chafee (Independent, Rhode    Island)
• Matthew Burden aka. Blackfive  (veteran, blogger, author) "The Blog of War:  Frontline Dispatches from Soldiers in Iraq  and Afghanistan;"
• Eric  Rodriguez, Iraq  vet & current Brown student
• Moderated by: Deborah Scranton

There will be an internet broadcast (live stream) of the conference and it is supposed to available for download after the conference finishes.

Wow, good luck at Brown, Matt. After reading about some of the other panels, it sounds like you may be going into the Lions Den. I have dial-up, so won't be able to download it, but am eagerly awaiting your report. Thank you for all that you do.
