Mon, 27 Oct 2008 12:59:10 +0000

Tuesday (October 28), bloggers from all over San Diego county and beyond will meet to celebrate the 1-Year Anniversary of SDBloggers. If you’re a San Diego blogger, check out the Meetup details for this gathering at the Modus Supper Club.

What can we expect from this spirited event? In addition to much fun and a great happy hour, the new SDBloggers website will be unveiled, SDBlogger t-shirts will be given out, and over 100 bloggers have already RSVP’d their plans to attend!

Much, Much thanks to Matt Browne for creating this Meetup group and organizing this wild bunch of renegade bloggers into a cohesive clan. It’s been a great year, and well worthy of an anniversary celebration. Hope to see you there!

San Diego Blogger MeetUps

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 07:33:29 +0000

On March 25, bloggers from around San Diego County converged on David’s Coffee Place for a little networking schmooze.

This was the largest San Diego Blogger MeetUp so far. The attendees represented a diverse mix of backgrounds and interests, leading to some great conversations and many laughs. There were techies, a linguist, sports enthusiasts, a father-daughter blogging team, a political candidate, activists, photographers, and writers. I can’t imagine what else could have brought this interesting and intelligent group into this place in time, other than the one thing that we all have in common – our San Diego blogs.

If you’re a San Diego blogger, and you haven’t yet discovered these MeetUps, come to the next one and make some new friends. The next location hasn’t yet been set, but the date for this gathering will be Tuesday, April 29. For additional information, see the San Diego Blogger MeetUp.

San Diego Blogger MeetUp

Thu, 28 Feb 2008 15:00:52 +0000

On Tuesday evening, I attended the latest San Diego Blogger MeetUp, held at Cafe Bassam, along with twenty or so local bloggers. It was the largest, and most lively MeetUp to date, with an energy matched by the location.

I love the Cafe Bassam. It’s one of those quirky coffee houses with a treat for the eyes or the taste buds in any direction you face. The staff are friendly and laid back, and and you won’t go there twice without making a friend.

Matt Browne has done a great job of organizing these MeetUps, bringing together such a diverse group of writers, each with their own expertise and purpose for blogging. Having read some of their blogs, and corresponded with them online, it was great putting faces to those that I knew, as well as connecting to some new friends. Business cards were exchanged over wine and lattes, and I’ll bet most of us learned a thing or two that we’ll take back to our work.

The next San Diego Blogger MeetUp is in March. If you’d like to be included, go to the San Diego Blogger MeetUp site for details. If you’re a San Diego blogger, maybe I’ll meet you there.
