Thanks in large part to the amazing organizational efforts of Lynne at LeftInLowell, we are about three weeks away from what promises to be a watershed event in the nascent history of the Massachusetts blogosphere:
That’s right – if you can make it to Tatnuck Bookseller in Worcester on Saturday, December 10, 2005, between 10:30 am and 4 pm, you can meet in person, hobnob with, and otherwise get to know, your fellow Massachusetts bloggers, blog readers, activists, and random hangers-on! There will be food, events, and goodness knows what else.
Everything you need to know is here – including the registration form which is REQUIRED BY DEC. 1 so that we can figure out how many people are coming and how much food we’ll need.
Thanks a million to Lynne, without whose efforts this thing wouldn’t have come close to happening. Hope to see you there!
Intriguing…What does $25 get you? Lunch? Lectures? Leather-bound notepads?
LOLI should be getting more detail up on the site as I get it…It includes a buffet (I hear the food is very good there) with a choice of a couple entrees, helps pay for the room fees, materials (such as nifty name tags) and for the complimentary “free registration” for the speakers and moderators that I hope will bring some panache to the event. The two featured speakers are Stirling Newberry (BOPnews.com) and Fred Clarkson. We will have breakout sessions in the afternoon following various subjects related to blogging and Massachusetts (still nailing down those so I’m going to finalize that next week).
Hey Lynne, do we need to snail-mail that form in?
Hmmm…as a member of your Loyal Opposition, I may just lurk.I like the whole brickwork, open atmosphere of Tatnuck Booksellers, anyways, and have been there often….
Huh. I’d love to come. Can’t afford to spend any money right now, but if I get a good contract in the next few days, I probably will.
