Bloggers Bash 2005 v.1

Is it too early to look at another bloggers bash?

The last one (BB#3, but the fourth one held: #1, #2, #2.5, #3) was just a month ago, but as with all the rest a great time was had. I'd like to hang out with y'all again. And with some of the other bloggers we've been discovering. With dozens of Memphis bloggers, we can surely get a turnout into double digits, yes?

Cafe Francisco, though, would not be my choice of venue. While they had the advantage of wifi (Eric and Len live-blogged) and a nice, comfortable space to hang out in, the "music" was too damned loud. I had trouble hearing conversation, which kinda defeats our purpose. The prices were outrageous: $10 for a BLT (and a surcharge for the T!), a bag of chips and tea; self-service? I think not. And though they were nice enough to let us stay past close, they also abandoned us. We had to scare up someone to find out what was happening. But mine is a single vote; if everyone else thinks they're jake, then so it is.

So, the floor is open. Date? Location? Any businesses reading this blog think they'd like the free blog-exposure? Good service will get you a lot of good notices. Wifi is doubleplusgood.

This time, we also need to get out the word. Blog posts, email friends, fliers, etc. Maybe notices in the dead tree media? I'll try to assemble an addybook and let everyone I've found know. Don't let me forget. Of course, all you Nashvegans who might happen to be in The City of God's Commode (I just made that up. Pretty spiffy; gotta remember it.) that night are invited.

New year, new bash. Let's roll!
