Brian, I think you’d enjoy a Blogfest very much. The conversations don’t stray into our blog topics and views much. We more so talk about the art of blogging and avoid politics and other touchy subjects so that we can just have a good time and get know each other on a personal level that cannot be represented in the blogs.

Yeah, I guess I feel a little guilty for going too, but I was _____________ (insert excuse here)
Next time?
See, I dunno about the whole faces to blogs thing. Maybe I’m just new fashioned or something, but I like the impression I have of a lot of these people, and I don’t like necessarilly changing it just because I met them in the flesh.
Guess that speaks volumes…

And I’ve been drinking…

O.K. I feel guilty for not making an effort to go and interact with the blogging community. You see, I know when I attend a political event that I will be accepted and if I am not well who the heck cares.

I haven’t exactly accepted the who the heck cares in regard to the blogosphere. You and Cathy turned out o.k. so maybe I will venture out of my comfort zone at some point.

Yes, my handwriting leaves little to be desired The domain used to be a subdomain of siliconholler.com (a site I intend to develop on eon). So for the longest time I went against my own advice (hosting on blogger.com) then still not heeding my own advice I changed to http://blog.siliconholler.com (avoid subdomains! They have a purpose but should not be the primary site). Finally, I bit the bullet and bought http://realityme.net/ (a squatter has the .com).

As for the cards, remember, just because you get http://yourowndomainname.com/ doesn’t mean that http://mushysmoochings.blogspot.com/ has to ever go away. You can find my old blogger postings at http://cursed-juggler.blogspot.com/ I simply have a post that tells people where my new page is. Of course, you can get fancier and have http://mushysmoochings.blogspot.com/ automatically redirect to http://yournewdomainname.com/ and the business cards retain their life. Cool cards btw!

Great review, Doug! It was nice meeting you. Hope to see you again soon! And maybe this time you’ll bring Cathy too.

Well, I finally figured out which blog I should promote in my post and corrected it. To be honest I could not figure out the letter after “m” on the back of the card you wrote. It all makes sense now and “reality” set in after reading Mark’s post.

Sorry man…I kept trying letters but for some reason I never used E…what a dummy!

Thanks for the advice and “blueprints” you gave me. I’m seriously considering changing over…BUT, I need to use up my “blogness cards” first!

Looking forward to the next meet!

Oh yeah…if your going to post mug shots of Mushy…you must get a better camera!
