How did your life collide with the headlines in 2007?
Iraq, the subprime crisis, Facebook, immigration, oil prices - 2007 had no shortage of hefty headlines. We'd like to hear about how these and other major news events of the past year affected you. Where did your life collide with the news in 2007?

What's your holiday performance story?
The office talent show, the neighborhood caroling posse, the school pageant ... At holiday time we often sing, dance, and dress as shepherds. Did you bloom in the warmth of your audience's adulation, or freeze up like the snowman you'd rather be building? Did your holiday performance change your life or that of someone close to you?

Just picture it: "Lady of Spain" played by a hundred-odd accordionists, many of them suited up in bizarre animal costumes. It's not a crazy dream, it's the Accordion Festival in Cotati, Calif. We're not sure why "Lady of Spain" sounds so good on the accordion, or why accordion players have a penchant for dressing up as psychedelic giraffes, but those will definitely be some questions we'll get answered during out visit.
