met up

On Wednesday, the ‘herders and friends gathered in D.C. (I was not among them, alas).

Last night, after spending a few hours with a friend from out of town (from D.C., coincidentally enough), I patronized Harry’s Country Club Bar with some KC Bloggers.

Social software meets flesh and blood…

d.c. meetup in october

Okay, as previously mentioned, I’ll be in Annapolis October 27-30 for a conference, and Weez says she’ll be visiting her folks in D.C., so let’s not let the May meetup participants have all the fun. Why not meet at the Dupont Circle Teaism at some point? It’s too soon for me to know exactly when a good time would be (since the conference schedule is not finalized, yet), but perhaps Sunday?

[Edited for clarity of dates.] In the near to not-so-near future I will likely find myself in

  • London, England: June 3-27 that’s 13-27
  • Manchester, England: June 27-July 16
  • Charlotte, North Carolina: August to January
  • Annapolis, Maryland: 27-30 October

Please plan accordingly for the festivities to celebrate my arrival.

Alternately, let me know if you live in or near one of these areas and would like to meet for coffee or a meal or a night of drink and debauchery.

I know of a cluster of D.C.-area bloggers and Atlanta-area ones. I am looking in your general direction. If you are anonymous, I promise not to blog meeting you so that your location can remain secret.

That is all.

a random question

It occurs to me that I’ve only ever met two Miriams in my life, and they’re both English professors who blog. I wonder: Am I the only person to have met both Miriam Jones and Miriam Burstein?
