This could be big! Or not. It should be fun in any case.

We’re going to meet next Monday after work at a convenient location in Northwest DC.

If you want to join us, please email me: jonathan at chicagoboyzdotnet.

We are the bloggers we have been waiting for!

Or something.

    Wish I could be there, as well. Alas, I will be elsewhere.

    At least I will be somewhere my CCW license is still good. It wouldn’t be, in DC.

    I’d love to be there but can’t be. I hope you all have fun!

    I’ll be there in spirit (or iced water, whatever). ;-)

    Helen, will you be in flesh in London, last week of August? And introduce me to a proper high tea?

    since I don;’t drink, how about a catcher?

    It would be nice to see some on-the-spot reporting - Surely the meet-up is 3-network-anchor newsworthy. Sometime I’d like to put faces to names (and tones to voices).

    I am in Detroit Rock City tonight, for work.

    Too bad business is not going to bring me to DC.

    We really do need a Chicago gathering. Next year? Memorial Day?

    Do it on the lake front. Picnic. BYO food. Then off somewhere for alcohol.

    Ginny’s point is good. Maybe we can have a contributors-only conference call!

    Ha.

    Tatyana, I have only just seen your comment. Yes, I’ll be here and yes, indeed, we can have tea wherever you want. Proper high tea is a meal you have in the north of England. I don’t think it’s what you think of as tea. Looking forward to a meeting up the London chapter of Chicagoboyz.

    Splendid! [hope this one wasn't a blunder!]

    I’ll write to you @eureferendum, to set time and place - and I also have comments section@my blog that I can make invisible to other readers.

    Yay.

    Unfortunately I can’t be there.

    Tayana, absolutely great. :)

  17. Helen Says:
    July 25th, 2008 at 3:33 pm

    And I know how to spell your name. Honest. Sheesh! And me with a Russian mother as well.

    Not to worry - if you could only see my collection…It has one “T”, at least. The star exhibit has none: Kechana.
