Maybe, maybe not. I need to check the guest list.<BR/><BR/>Also, feel free to send me an invite, Tia, and on the subject of East/West BlogCon, or whatever we will eventually call it, I think this one is the best option and ultimately if each con proves somewhat popular we can all sit down and plan some sort of every-other-year-meet-in-the-middle thing. The big point I would make with that is that we should push to give people time to save the money to be able to go. If you know in X years there will be a midwest blogger con or some such, then you know you need to save up for that. Much easier.<BR/><BR/>However, I think our focus should be in figuring out what we're going to do at this current point. What sort of con, when, where, etc. We can deal with other issues later. After all, this is, in theory, the first of its kind, and everyone will have different opinions, etc.<BR/><BR/>Anywho.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13571452656553970472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195356832263192713.post-54735046427058306592009-01-10T19:56:00.000-05:002009-01-10T19:56:00.000-05:00Could I recommend that west coast people check out...Could I recommend that west coast people check out <A HREF="http://www.potlatch-sf.org/" REL="nofollow">Potlatch</A>, which is taking place in the Bay Area at the end of February. It is a relatively small event, heavily book-focused (it even has books of honor rather than guests of honor), and advance membership is only $55.<BR/><BR/>It is probably a very good model for the sort of event you want to run, and would not be too hard to clone in other regions.<BR/><BR/>Potlatch is a traveling convention, moving between the Bay Area, Portland and Seattle each year in order to broaden the base of attendees while giving those who can't afford to travel a chance one year in three.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328347167113836522noreply@blogger.com
