# Blogs, Dogs and Birthdays

![](http://static.flickr.com/33/63631882_74cbd95e86.jpg?v=1132084445)My birthday is tomorrow. I was never one to wish for a puppy, but yesterday I got a dog. Not a real dog, but an invite to the phenomenal (http://blogsndogs.com/) workshop in Banff. Nice present for sure. I’ve always wanted to go to the Banff Centre.

(http://www.raincitystudios.com/) in partnership with the Banff New Media Institute is producing a 3 day workshop on blogging and social networking at the Banff Centre, Alberta from December 4th-7th 2005, and I am attending.

Yesterday I received an email from Robert Scales of Raincity Studios announcing that I was the winner of their scholarship (workshop fee, activity fee–DOG SLEDDING–accommodation and meals, and airport transfer fees to and from the airport to Banff). I swivelled around in my office chair many times and the grin has yet to leave my face.

Want to come? The registration closes Friday, November 25.

(https://secure.banffcentre.ca/CFA/programs/bnmi/BNMI_blogs_app_form.htm) Do it now. Don’t delay.

There’s dog sledding, and I think in my submission I may have promised to bring my tap shoes.
