A Little Shameless Self Promotion |

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Breaking News! Chicago girl quits job, sells off belongings, and swims across the world’s oceans. Okay, it’s not that dramatic, but interesting enough that cool and irreverent website/blog Chicagoist, that documents all things Chicago, picked up a story on me and my little world tour. Check it out:

“Where in the World is Lisa Lubin?”

Here’s a special shout out to Rachelle, the editor and all around cool chick, who thought I was worthy enough for some screen space on Chicagoist. And a big thanks to Traci at Feedburner for getting my blog up and running in the first place AND making it a feed and subscribable to the masses. And in the vein of ‘it’s a small world,’ the irony is Traci and Rachelle both work at Feedburner (I did not know this), sit just eight feet apart, and had no idea they were secretly linked by LLWorldTour, ‘til now. Good Karma. LLWorldTour is spreading peace and joy around the world this holiday season…or it’s just a fun read!

Cheers, from Down Under.

Glad you liked the post, Lisa. I sort of knew that you and Traci were friends.. or acquaintances, at least, because I saw photos of you guys at the same party on Flickr. But, I didn't say anything to her about our emailing each other or about the post that was going on Chicagoist and I didn't know she and FeedBurner helped get your site in order, so it was a bit of "worlds colliding".

Lubstress! It's been WAY too long! I just learned about your travels and website from Derek – congratulations! I was actually on the road doing an NFL game last week and worked with a freelance camera guy out of Chi who had worked with you on some projects – he's the one who told me that you had left your post at WLS, but I had no idea about the World Tour. I am definitely envious. It looks as if you're having a blast.

Your not the only one whose world is "Cha-cha-cha-changing!" After nearly ten years, I'm finally leaving WIS at the end of next week to go on the road with FOX Sports. I'll be a TD for their coverage of the BCS (Fiesta Bowl and National Championship game) as well as their coverage of NASCAR and the NFL. I just wish I could take off in between and see the world the way you're seeing it. Too cool.

By the way – please note that on your photos page there are two very special photos that I want to call to your attention: one is of the back of what looks to be a Chicago El train, the other is of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In both pictures one very cool name is clearly visible – HOWARD! Just a useless tid bit of coincidental info but I thought it was way cool of you to honor me by taking those! Thanks!!!
