Blog birthday party post-mortem
As you can see, last night’s blog birthday party was a rollicking good time. Special thanks to Sara for making these awesome, blog-specific cupcakes (with really tasty icing, I might add). I can’t remember if I ate 3 or 4 of them; I lost count.
Amid the revelry last night, two podcasts were recorded. One consisted of Sherry and I kind of interviewing each other about blogging, social media, and all that good stuff. The other involved passing the recorder around to everyone at the table, and having each person talk about their blog, why they started it, blogging in general, and whatever else they wanted to say with a digital recorder in their face. Look for both of those soon on Mostly ITP.
Thanks to everyone who came out last night for the festivities! What more could a blogger ask for?
Update: It just makes sense to include a roll call of everyone who came last night, since almost everyone there was a blogger.
Blogs in attendance:
- Alenda Lux
- Blog for Democracy
- The Daily Bacon
- Drama Wench
- Drifting Through the Grift
- An Entrepreneur’s Journey
- Going Through the Motions
- GrabbingSand
- Gratuitous Dumbassitude
- Monotonous
- Peachtree Screed
- Radical Georgia Moderate
- Sodomy Creek
- Spacey Gracey Review
Those cupcakes look delish.
Happy Birthday!
Is it just me… sensing that you’re not really connecting with people, old friends even, unless they too blog?
SpaceyG,
That’s not true at all. My two oldest, closest friends don’t blog. They also happen not to live in Georgia, but we keep in touch via email, IM, and (to a lesser extent) telephone. When we do get together in person, it’s like we’ve never been apart.
Blogging has helped me make many new friends, and reconnect with old friends with whom I had lost touch (examples: sangeet and Dacia) – but I’m certainly not limiting friendships to people who blog! That would be ridiculous.
Wish I could’ve been there… had a work thing I had to show my face at, and by the time it was over, was too tired to do anything but grab a close dinner at the new Six Feet Under in Midtown with CB and crash out.
Happy B-Day Blog!
