I got off to a late start, but I didn’t miss a thing here.
While waiting for the next sessions I signed up for to begin, I walked around the exhibit floor and got to match faces with the weblogs. So far, I pressed the flesh with Glenn Reynolds, Roger L. Simon, Ed Driscoll, Dawn Olsen, La Shawn Barber, Jeralyn Merritt, Pam Johnson, and Markos Moulitsas (no, I didn’t get into a political argument with him, as he’s here for the sports blogging track — and he was very cordial).
Dawn encouraged me to consider contributing to Blogcritics Magazine, headed up by Eric Olsen. I’ve been following BC since its inception, and I might consider it. I’ll keep you, the reader, posted.
I was quite surprised to run into readers of the blog on the exhibit floor, including another local blogger who’s been following me for quite a while.
Update (4:00 pm): Right now, I’m sitting in on “Raising The Level Of Discourse In The Political Blogosphere”, featuring panelists Michael Medved, Merritt, Simon, Jim Hoff, and Ed Morrissey.
I might stick around for the pajama party tonight — albeit in street clothes though, as it’s a long drive back to Suburblin.
Oh - DC, how cool that you were able to attend!
Please keep on posting about how it goes…
I am jealous!
Thanks, Peg!
Sadly, there was no Day 2, as I became unexpectedly ill on Friday.
But I had a good time meeting other bloggers (though I missed many more) and finding out about new blog trends.
Overall, a good time was had by all, and they’ll be back for BlogWorld 2008 next September!
DC - sorry to hear you were ill, but glad to hear that the meetings went well.
Would love to attend some time! Will just have to fit it in between real estate and bridge tournaments!
