Title: Announcing Edition 2.6 of the International Carnival of Pozitivities (ICP)
Post by: tuggem on December 03, 2007, 04:06:37 pm
Dear Friends of the International Carnival of Pozitivities (ICP):

It is a tremendous pleasure to announce the publication of edition 2.6 of the ICP (http://www.dropdeadhappy.com/dropdeadhappy/ICP26.html) at DropDeadHappy (http://www.dropdeadhappy.com/).  Mark Kokocki is our third host from Canada and our second from the Vancouver area after Roro at Creampuff Revolution (http://rosemaryrowe.typepad.com/creampuff_revolution/2007/03/creampuff_welco.html).  I encourage you to bookmark this edition and visit it over time so that you can enjoy each of the contributions from the world of HIV/AIDS.  I hope that you will also join me in thanking Mark for his work this month and Giles of Slimconomy (http://slimconomy.blogspot.com/2007/11/w-elcome-to-november-10-2007-edition-of.html) and Roro of Creampuff Revolution for the previous Canadian editions.

This 18th consecutive edition of the ICP features personal accounts, video, music, self-help information and the latest in news from the HIV/AIDS community.  Among these posts, you will find news about HIV/AIDS in women and children, a good sampling of posts from long-term survivors,  a Bollywood-like HIV prevention video from India, news and personal accounts from Africa, Asia, Europe, and North and South America.  I hope that you will spend some time reading and that you will leave comments for the contributors.

We are now accepting submissions for edition 2.7 to be hosted at The Spin Cycle (http://thespincycle.blogspot.com/).  This new edition marks the first time that the ICP will have been hosted outside of North America as we go to Australia for host Matty the Damned and the Spin Cycle team. It is notable that Matty and the Spin Cycle contributed the first post to the ICP’s first edition  (http://ronhudson.blogspot.com/2006/07/first-edition-of-international_05.html)in June of 2006.  Please consider contributing your original artwork, poetry, news, personal accounts, short stories, videos or music files for the next edition.
