it is Amazing!!!
The deep, dark secret is out! Approximately 20 Nashville area bloggers gathered this morning at the local ABC-TV affiliate, WKRN, for coffee, donuts, and informal conversation. And the secret?...these are REAL, live, breathing (and a few coughing) individuals who write, edit, and publish blog commentaries and journals. They have faces, and personalities, and can speak in complete, inteligible sentences (imagine that!).
Blogging technology may be the common thread that pulled this group together, but face to face conversation has helped to knit the group into the beginning of a living community.
Many thanks to Terry Heaton, Mike Sechrist, and Neil Orne for making everyone feel at home at the station. Several of the Nashville Area Blogs are featured on WKRN's web site...and it was fun to put smiling faces with familiar blog names for the first time. Kudos to Channel 2!
Now, if I can grab one of the pictures taken this morning from one of my fellow bloggers, I'll post a copy of it here...(and spend too much of my Saturday reading what all of these people have to say).
UPDATE: Thanks to Doc Brown for the image (above)! See more images on Right Justified.
REALLY LATE UPDATE: More attendees blog the event: Neil Orne, LindaDblU, Terry Heaton, Rex Hammond, TNF (*big grin*), Nashville Truth, and Doug Petch,
