From 4:30 to 5:00 we’ll gather and chat. The Communications Committee of the MDP is launching BlueTV and they were hoping to get some footage of our gathering. Only people who want to will be videoed. John Bowes will be operating the camera.
One of the results of the gathering last year was that BlogLeft and the Communications Committee co-sponsored a workshop at the Convention. We’ll be doing the same thing this year. The five to six PM hour will be focused on that planning.
From six to seven it will be more informal. If all works out we’ll eat around then, finish up on convention planning and transition into the final phase.
From seven to eight we’ll focus on BlogLeft intitiatives and talk about what we can do,
So come to socialize, have a drink if you so choose and share ideas. If you want to learn more about blogging or just meet some of the people you read on BMG, we’d love to see you. We are a community and we need to see each other in meatspace occasionally.
See you in Lynn!

I meant to say, I checked the facbook RSVPs and what people wrote in comments on the original post. The number of links got me confused. I confuse very easily.
circumstances have conspired against my making it out to Lynn today. Have fun, and report back on what happens!
it was my birthday yesterday and I had friends over today — so I completely forgot! I had no idea that it’s been exactly a year. Too funny!

The “maybe” reasons are now under control.
it was a great time, IMO.

It was great being able to put faces, voices, and smiles alongside the multi-color pixels on my display.

p>I couldn’t stay past 6:00p, but the early part of the gathering was a blast. Cos, Sue Kennedy, AmberPaw, Kate, Ryan, David, sabutai, massmarrier — there were others that I’m spacing out on — it was a pleasure to meet all of you face-to-face.
Apologies to all.
