It's Carnival Time! Or, rather, it's Time Carnival.
Welcome to the first Vortex Blog Carnival. We've raised the tents, packed the booths with links and giveaways and swept the midway in the hopes you'll stick around to visit them all.
Nathan Gendizer's blog, polybloggimous.com, is just as random and snarky as The Vortex at times, but always with an eye on the future. The picture header homage to science fiction of old is, alone, worth the visit to this attraction.
Change jingling in your pocket? How about these awesome embroidered baby and children's clothes from the ultra-hip Wicked Cool Baby Company? Wicked Cool Baby has created time-themed shirts in honor of today's carnival! New sayings include: Time is all we have until the next diaper change, Time for my bottle but Mom's busy reading Twilight and There's no time like naked time.
Loyal Vortex-er and writer Todd Wheeler has been the top "barker" for this carnival, so you can bet he's offering up something special. We met over a shared novel title involving midnight, and we also have a shared reverence for libraries from the distant past.
Just Me presents Is That a Promise or a Threat?: Do You Remember posted at Is That a Promise or a Threat?. Great to have you, Just me!
Newest blogging friend, Subby, busts out a poem all Tanka-inspired about the changing of the seasons. Love that take on time.
Pam doesn't just write romance; she writes time (at least for today). "It's not the what, it's the when," tackles my obsession, evidence of time travel seeping into all genres of literature and a what-if involving a time machine.
L.A., you have inspired a wonderful circus. Thanks for organizing it!
Not quite like being on the actual Midway but still lotsa fun 🙂 Time to go for a stroll among the booths, heh, heh...
Thanks for including me, it's my first carnival. 🙂
Thanks for being our fearless leader, L.A.! I look forward to visiting everyone's tent today. 🙂
Yup, this is one awesome carnival! I need to go get some cotton candy or a caramel apple and visit the other tents!
And I've finally gotten my post published. D'oh!
Time to go off and read the other entries.
wuffy wike it... ALL! 😉 lol
a glorious interpretation of the theme, very impressive! 🙂
Wow, Everyone's so creative, thoughtful and fantastically fun! Really enjoyed visiting all the tents and being a part of LA Mitchell's carnival of time. This was great fun, let's do it again soon! Wicked Cool Baby would be happy to set up the Big Top in the future. Maybe a contest to see who can write the funniest baby shirt! ...prizes included, of course! Stay Tuned!
Love the Time Carnival! I've enjoyed reading Robin's and Pamela's official posts and, also, Edie's early post on the subject. Looking forward to checking out more before the tents get packed away ;).
What fun! Wish I could have set up a booth, but with hubby sick I'm too distracted to write. Still it's wonderful fun to take a break from playing nurse to visit the carnival booths. Thanks for doing this Laura.
beginning tomorrow [lam's carnival will be over], lady glamis is running a short story contest, with super prizes... check it out on my blogger page 🙂
Thanks for hosting. That was fun with great entries all around. And is Wicked Cool Baby offering baby shirts in adult sizes as prizes? Now that's wicked cool!
