OK, Shannon has pretty much taken the lead on this, and I know Jon (and in-turn, Dane) are up for the idea (and rumor has it Barney the Anti/Meta/[I’m at a loss for a prefix]-blogger might show up), but we’ve scheduled a Bend Blogger Meetup for Wednesday, 5/12/04, at the Bend Brewery. Shannon’s already called them, and they’re expecting us.
So who’s on board? I’ll be e-mailing a few of you who I know don’t frequent this blog as much, just to see if we can get some folks to show up. Otherwise there will about MAYBE four of us there :). Ideally, all these folks would be there, but I’m not holding my breath. Now I just gotta convince the wife to let me out of the house for the evening.
Update on 5/6: So far, the rumors are that Dane (hopefully), Simone, Jon, Shannon (who better be there, since she’s planning it), and I are going to be there. I’ll be e-mailing Roger and Chris to see if they will get in on the fun (feel free to comment here guys).
Update on 5/9: I’ve not got confirmation from Roger (read the comments) that he’s going to make it, Jesse (whose blog is in infancy) will making it (and will be bugging Barney to make it), and Kerry, the guy behind BendBuzz will be making it as well. It’ll be a party, folks! 🙂

maybe at this meeting i could get someone to 1. design a new site for me on MT 2. explain what the heck an RSS feed is 3. not sit in my house and drink beer alone 🙂
HAHAHA….For 1) You’ll need to arrange Web hosting to get an MT-blog. For 2) I’m pretty sure I answered that question in another thread’s comments, so read there :-). For 3), you’re on your own as I don’t drink. 🙂
Whoopie! Strangely enough, it’s the same night that my parents will be drifting into town from Minnesota, but hopefully I can ‘scape the rents…
…or possibly invite them along to this summit of Bend’s Brightest. That wouldn’t be awkward now, would it? Seeing as how I haven’t seen them in over half a year?
(1) I run and design with MT and it is fun and playful and my wrists hurt
(2) RSS is a dirty little secret and the only reason these nasty people want you to get it is so they can read (1) without ever going to (1)
(3) BEER GOOD. NAPSTER BAD
Woo hoo! Wednesday it is.
“(1) I run and design with MT and it is fun and playful and my wrists hurt”
Are you sure that’s from MT? 😉
(2) RSS is a dirty little secret and the only reason these nasty people want you to get it is so they can read (1) without ever going to (1)
Damn it, don’t give away my secret. 🙂
But he’s right. I don’t have time to read a ton of sites every day, but I’ll check an RSS feed to see if something’s new. Even if it’s just headlines, I’ll at least know something’s new.
It’s likely my buddy Kerry will show up. He’s the one who’s really behind Bend Buzz (whereas I just keep the pipes unclogged there).
Fellow Bloggers….
Wednesday, eh? I’ll be there. Wouldn’t miss it….
am i the ONLY gal? woo hooooo for me!
No, there’s Simone also.
Geez, even Kerry showing up…..
Darn those kids….can’t they put themselves to bed 😉
