AZ Bloggers Getting Together

Posted on | August 30, 2006 | 13 Comments

Last year I suggested a gathering of Arizona bloggers. I thought it would be fun to meet the people behind some of my favorite sites. Unfortunately, I got very little response to the idea – until I canceled it. I mentioned it in passing again a few weeks ago, and a couple of people seem game – including the recently retired Special Agent Utah.
Last year, despite my rather hermit like tendencies, I had intended to have the party at my house. This year, that idea sounds less appealing. So, my suggestion at this point is that we meet at some casual restaurant near central Phoenix, or perhaps at one of the various parks in the city. Unless there is someone who is willing to volunteer their home for the invasion….?
I am thinking of late September/early October. I would happily take the lead and Michelle has offered her help, as well. Who would be interested?

    Hey Vox, I’d be interested last weekend September is a bit busy but otherwise pretty flexiable on my schedule. I like Oct 7 would be a good date.

    Count me in too! End of September is booked, but October would be cool. I like the idea of a casual restaurant in central Phoenix.

    What about George & Dragon around Central/Indian School? I used to go there so often, I had a usual. I haven’t been in a couple of years, though.

    I like the G & D, except it is really smokey….
    I’ll try and collect suggestions and post a list, maybe put it to a vote. I am assuming we want a place with a liquor license 🙂

    Hmmm…I’d have to see. I like the idea, though.

    Sonoran is less smoky than G&D, and we could probably get the whole group into the new space they’ve opened.
