Getting on the Cover of Time Magazine as Person of The Year. The Quest is on.

  

THE SKOOP FROM KOOP(ersmith):

 

On Sunday, October 14, 2012, by doing a Google Search of my name, I discovered that Brad R. Tuttle featured one of my 1,900 HOLIDATES in his 'Smart Spending' Column. I was flattered and happy both. However, I felt badly that I did not find out sooner in order to thank him for that write-up. Now, after the initial excitement has worn off, I'm now wondering how I can become TIME's Person of The Year. Somebody has to be IT. After all, our world revolves around EVENTS -- what I call HOLIDATES and I've created, produced and promoted - ie: launched -- 1900 of them since July 25, 1990. The following is a Facebook posting I've shot out to my friends. Friends and friends of friends know things. Lending more HOLIDATES to our Pop Culture Scene is something that pleases many. For that reason, I'm hoping TIME Magazine will choose me in order to carry on my goodwill and Humanitarian Campaign (22 years enforce) called:

FACEBOOK POSTING OF: Monday, October 15, 2012 - 10:35 AM CST

OK, now after I've been featured in Time.com (circa June of 2011) what I have to find out about is how to get on the Cover of TIME Magazine as their PoTY: Person of The Year. I'm sure they've never featured an Eventologist before. And, since they are involved with the publishing of events, mine just might be what they are looking for. After all, with all the atrocities that are happening here on our planet, it's nice to be able to escape and do/experience/partake in EVENTS - my HOLIDATES - all 1900 of them that lend towards an experience that you've never had before. Maybe a google search will help me out here...as it's getting awfully close to the end of the year...according to my calendar here - it is the Ides of October. Let's see what can be found!

ASK ON WHAT I MEAN TO SAY: I don’ mean to appear rude, as my Mother did not raise me to be that way, but sometimes, it’s just plain hard to keep up with it all. Modern Technology has made the times easier on us, but with the amount of information coming from every angle, getting to it is difficult.


And that’s the point of this letter. It’s nice to get a piece in TIME, that I have been reading since I first learned to pick up a magazine or so it seems.


And like the next Creatif, I love to see my name in print. With that thought in mind, I sometimes will google my Name (yes, all of it) to see what was popular that I wrote and determine how it went over with folks that I may never know. In a way you know them. In other ways, you don’t but you do wonder how and what made other writers pen an article on you, especially if you’re a writer attempting to create a new Literary Genre which I have been doing the last 22 years.


However, with Facebook and Twitter (for starters here), you can connect much better than ever before.

KE THE FOLLOWING CASE: I did the ASK search earlier this afternoon and found out that Brad Tuttle wrote a piece on my National Splurge Day ©1994 back on June 17, 2011. That was well over a year ago and I just found out about it today. I feel gosh-awful embarrassed as I never sent him a thank you note. After all, with 1900 HOLIDATES TO CELEBRATE on my Roster, I am also the Creator of International Thank You Days ©1994 and I should know better. Didn’t we all learn that for every ‘please’ there is a ‘thank you?’ This particular Holidate salutes my kindergarten teach, Miss Lucille Fritz back in 1957.



Brad writes well, even if he wasn’t writing about my Holidate. The story’s title is called:



As If You Need an Excuse to Splurge …

and this story is under TIME’s Money Segment called SMART SPENDING that further gives me (as a writer and person of credence) the ability to show people how to have fun even in troubling and pressing economic times which is part of Eventology’s Premise.



And, Mr. Tuttle is also on Twitter at @bradrtuttle. Therefore, with this Posting, I am going to make sure that I find him and although it’s quite a spell later and lots of HOLIDATES have come and gone between then and now, his attention to my writing (i.e.: HOLIDATE) was indeed appreciated. And who knows, we may become friends here on Facebook as well. Only TIME will tell – pun intended. Now that certainly is yet a(nother) Story that is yet to unfold.

ASK/Chicago: The Launch of GORF CUSTOMIZED HOLIDATES. Guaranteed to make you smile!

Dateline:  Friday, October 5, 2012 - 12:05 PM CST

 

Chicago, Illinois USA:   If you like to smile and if you like Toys, then this Message is something you will enjoy reading.  These Topics have thrilled me all my life long and now I’ve combined the Two to arrive at a one-page greeting that  (with only ONE GLANCE) will change the entire Course of your Day and those of others. 

 

THIS IS HOW I ACHIEVED THAT:    Wouldn’t you like your own HOLIDATE named after you or after something you especially love to do or say? Immortalize your favorite Quote.  Nearly anything ‘goes.’  Find out how that’s possible at my BLOG called: Koopersmithin’ under the September 19, 2012 Tab called:

 

Create your very own HOLIDATE w/ ASK: America's Premier Eventologist.

Immortalize YOURSELF Today!

with its TINYURL being:   http://tinyurl.com/9spnb7u

 

Undoubtedly, amongst the most creative and personalized Gift,

 

GORF CUSTOMIZED HOLIDATES

 

assure all your Days begin with a Smile from THE GRiN REAPER himself, as he is called and popularly known by.   Although this would be an ideal Gift for a Birthday, there are countless other EVENTS spanning the Weeks of our Lives where an ‘impromptu’ but personalized Gift (as this) is sure to brighten a Person’s Day.  With the Holiday Season quickly coming up, beginning with Halloween (known as GORF-O-WEEN in my Circle) then Thanksgiving, Hanukah, Christmas, Kwanzaa and New Years, this personalized Gift will strike a happy chord. 

 

As my Friend, Jeff calls the Greeting:  “It’s like having a Star named after you.”  He’s exactly ‘write’ but it’s a lot closer to home where the Heart is. 

 

And, I should explain to you what a HOLIDATE is: Created from the Two (2) Words:

 

HOLIDAY+ DATE = HOLIDATE

 

A HOLIDATE is defined as Goodwill, Humanitarian, Altruistic, Educational, Recreational, Spiritual, FUN-Time and/or FUN-Type EVENT; therefore, EVENTOLOGY was born back on Wednesday, July 25, 1990 at 9:45 PM, when I formally launched this new Literary Genre called:

 

EVENTOLOGY

THE ART OF EVENT-MAKING

ADRIENNE SIOUX KOOPERSMITH’s CAMPAIGNS FOR HUMANITY ©1990

Today there are 1,900 HOLIDATES (falling into 34 precise Categories) and Volumes penned.  Presently, I am extending the HOLIDATE Phenomenon to you via this one-page Greeting Card featuring:  GORF, nicknamed ‘THE GRiN REAPER’ who lives in CHICAGORF, Illinois USA and is hailed as ‘CHICAGO’S FIRST GREEN MASCOT.’  These Greetings are an Off-Shoot of my Creative Writings that fully utilize EVENTOLOGY.

More Detail about this unusual Story is found at the above URLS that explain this 22 year old Literary Phenomenon and Form(at).

Currently 1,899 other HOLIDATES comprise my EVENTOLOGY Calendar and it can be honestly said that there is something for every single one of us to participate in.  Please feel free to share this Experience and see the Difference a HOLIDATE makes in your Life and those around you. 

A light-hearted Story expressing Goodwill feels great and so does this Daily Greeting Card Expression of Concern and Support that all culminates in to a Smile via GORF CUSTOMIZED HOLIDATES.

“Several Short Sentences About Writing” by Verlyn Klinkenborg. "My far, the BEST BOOK ON WRITING yet."

ASK/Chicago: I have not penned and posted a book review since July but had to stop and mention this book because it deserves to be read by anybody who is either a Reader or a Writer or an Author.  It’s called:

“Several Short Sentences About Writing”

purchasable online at: 

http://www.amazon.com/Several-Short-Sentences-About-Writing/dp/0307266346

by Mr. Verlyn Klinkenborg – who happens to get very detailed about what makes Writing as special as it is.  I was not familiar with him, I must confess but now am a new Fan.  While at the Evanston Public Library, I saw his book.  I had some time to kill and it just captured my attention.  One of its sentences on Page 8 asks:

“How long is a good idea?”

Have you ever been asked this before?  Have you ever thought of this before?  I’m now 60 and have been writing for the last 55 years and that never occurred to me.   I’m sitting here wondering why that was so. This book should be a standard in any writing class for any person who is in love with words and creative expression and how they got that way and how they can be improved. 

Dedicated as he is:  Mr. Klinkenborg’s  Acknowledgement Page states:  “My greatest debt is to my students over the past 30 years.  They’ve taught me far more than I’ve ever managed to teach them, and they’ve made teaching writing one of the great joys in my life.” 

So glad I was meandering around.  So glad I was on the 2^ND floor.  So glad I spotted:  “Several short sentences about writing.” Some things just take time.  Writing is one of those.  Reading about it and why that’s so is now much easier due to:  “Several Short Sentences About Writing” ©2012 (as published by Alfred A. Knopf).

You’ll be, too!

Mort Crim 's Take on my August Holidates circa 1996. An Eventological Blast from The Past!

I found a terrific Interview Mort Crim had written about my HOLIDATES so long ago, that I felt compelled to share it with you all today.  What follows is his brief bio and the article with its Code # starting out the piece.  Circa 1996 when I was formulating

Eventology
The Art of Event-Making
Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith's Campaigns for Humanity (C)1990


by only 6 years.

BIO:  Mort Crim is an author and former broadcast journalist. Crim was born July 31, 1935. Crim retired from anchoring TV newscasts at WDIV-TV Detroit in 1996. He also anchored at WHAS-TV in Louisville, KYW-TV in Philadelphia and WBBM-TV in Chicago.

K69-AC38 -  365 Day Holiday

This is Mort Crim with Second Thoughts…brought to you by Big Kmart.

How did you spend your Intl Ping Pong Day?

It was August 2^ND, in case you missed it.

How about August 9^TH?

Do anything special for National Handholding Day?

There are lots of Holidays in august, you’ve probably never heard of.

On Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith’s calendar, there are 36 of them.

And the self-proclaimed ‘Eventologist’ created them all.

Like National Coward’s Day on August 13.

And my personal favorite:  Stale Food Day on August 31.

Now, when I first read about Koopersmith and her holiday declarations, I was skeptical to say the least.

Here was a woman trying to get us to celebrate anything, no matter how trivial or silly.

It seemed like she was just making up reasons to proclaim a holiday.

It thought the greeting card companies had a monopoly on that. 

But then I thought about it again.

Making each day a cause for celebration.

And on second thought, it seemed like a pretty good project.

Finding something new to celebrate every single day of the year.

We don’t need greeting cards for that.

we don’t even need to celebrate the same things.

But just give it a try.

I’ll be back with today’s final thought…after this…

Today’s Thought: 

Every day is a holiday for those who know how to celebrate the joyful, painful, quirky diversity of life itself.

For Big Kmart…I’m Mort Crim. 

ASK on Productivity. Take it from THE ANT, they have SWAG!

ASK ON PRODUCTIVITY:   Productivity is only a moment away.  That’s all it takes to write, compose, pen or pencil in an idea that can launch a project, something breath-taking and suitable for what you are feeling at this particular point in your life-to-date.  How often we fall off track and don’t allow ourselves to do this every  single day, especially so if we happen to label ourselves as an Artist or a Creatif (creative personality) that is launching a Passion that comes straight from our heart and gut.  Sometimes, it’s just hard or difficult to do this, but once into the Groove and ‘The Zone of Productivity,’ that special something pops forth like Spring eternal.  That’s why it’s commonplace and necessary to now blow your own horn.  Via all the social networks that we have at our disposal and fingertips, it’s quite easy to do.  The effectiveness of Productivity increases on its own accord.  Sometimes, it just does not seem to happen fast enough. It’s been that way for a time. It’s stagnating, NOT SWAGnating (we could say).  What can be done to shore it up? 

After all, we’re all living in a get quick fast society and social system. It’s been that way for a spell, but if that Artistic Slant of yours is given enough time to incubate and cultivate, then there is no telling what can start as a grassroots movement and then move up the ranks and files of what generally is defined as Popular Culture. 

And for those who are extremely original in nature – and strut to the beat of a different drummer, that’s quite  do-able, too, as there are audiences spell-bound for every style and SWAG there is.  One of my newest Buddies, BSON has SWAG – it’s his very own:  Style With AG-enda (ie: SWAG) which is what I call it as he definitely has a plan and plans his days very well in his Production Work(outs) in order to get his Project to fruition.  It takes guts as well as charisma to launch something new; besides the time, space and drive to make sure it is properly set into motion.

And where do these Ideas that are driven by Productivity come from?  For me, it’s Nature.  That’s how I started the 7-part SKiN™ Series (7 books and 7 movie scripts of which 4 are completed as of Sept., 2012) by looking out back into my backyard; trampling around the great Out-of-Doors, bicycling through piles of leaves and realizing there’s life beneath my feet. One of the coolest Creatures by far is THE ANT.  Inspired back in 2009, iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS ©2009 became one of my leading Markers to Productivity as the Spec Movie Script beat out 3,164 others in the Hollywood contest known as Scriptapalooza.

Hopefully, after the right amount of Production has been filtered into the Storyline, ‘iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS ©2009 will seize the attention (that’s ANT-ention) of an ANTimation Company because after all, we are all iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS. 

Symbolic of whatever your Art is, producing every Day sets that Dream into Motion, hopefully with a happily ever after on your horizon, soon.

The Best Log Line ever for the Best Undiscovered ANT Movie Script yet…

Back in July of 2010, the third Movie Script I ever penned called: 

iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS ©2009

beat out 3,164 other scripts in Mark Andrushko’s International Screenplay Competition called Scriptapalooza which has picked Winners because Mark’s team is comprised of Hollywood producers, managers and those who know what it takes to make a great movie greater.

Needless to say, I was beyond the Joy Level when this happened.  Since, it’s been divided into 2 stories and 2 movies, but still is not COMPLETELY to my liking; however, what I do like is the LOGLINE.  Seems only right that ANTS should have a LOG LINE since they are busy parading and marching up and down and across and through the grounds that do contain logs of many sizes.  Even to an ANT, a TWIG is a LOG and these lines express the essence (ess-ANTS) of this Movie best by stating:

 

ANTS:  Born to bug.

Born to picnic.

Born to invade.

Born to endure.

 

NOW:  Born 130,000,000 years ago to set a Prime Example in KOOPERSMITH’s iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS ©2009-2010.  After all, look about you.  We are all iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS.  Watch where you step.

 

NOTE:  The Term ‘charactANTS ®’ is derived from the Two (2) Words:

 

CHARACTERS + ANTS = charactANTS ®
