This week’s assignment from the League — A nice place to visit

willy wonka chocolate factory

Last week’s assignment was a challenge, so this week’s task will be a bit easier…or will it?

—

Take a trip to anywhere in pop culturedom. What fictional town, time, or world would you want to visit?

league logo Once you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Next Monday, I will put up a post here on Cool & Collected with a list of all the contributing blogs. Once that list is posted, if you haven’t already done so, try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote on your site.

By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!

 

(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for joining The League.)

    I’m in. I think a lot of you may dig on mine, but something about recently watching this mini-series, has got me hung up on wanting to go there. 🙂

    I’m just a rambling man I guess. Always on the road… bouncing from place to place… but I have a mission. A higher pop-culture purpose. Check it out.

    It was a challenge at first thinking of something to fit my Halloween Countdown… but I think it all worked out.

    This was pretty fun. Yes, I was awake when I wrote it. No, I wasn’t drunk. Yes, I’ve been told I have a warped sense of humor. Also decided to rename my site. Enjoy.
