Site News: It’s time to firm up plans for Blogger Bash!
The fifth Tuesday of each month is traditionally set aside for Blogger Bash, because there’s usually not much going in the way of public meetings and hearings and such. These are social events, with some drinking and goings-on, but not big blow-outs.
There was a fifth Tuesday in December, but there wasn’t a bash because the consensus was that few if any people could attend.
So we are due.
After some consideration, there are now plans underway for a joint BlogPeoria/Peoria.com BLOGGER BASH on Tuesday, March 31. I decided to include the PDC crowd because of that site’s ability to bring in new attendees.
Remember, anyone who writes a blog, comments on a blog, reads a blog or is the topic of a blog is welcome to attend. Since these things are held in public places, nothing is stopping anyone from dropping buy. Newsmakers are always encouraged to attend.
The next step is to pick a location. Criteria includes:
1. Refreshing beverages.
2. Food.
3. Amenable to folks walking around, chatting in groups.
4. No blaring televisions/jukeboxes.
5. Preferably, not a soulless corporate joint, thus encouraging local businesses.
Here are some locations under consideration:
Kouri’s on Sterling.
TnT’s in Peoria Heights.
Donnely’s on Glen near Sterling.
Gormans in Campustown.
Whitey’s on Sheridan north of West McClure.
Panache in Sheridan Village.
One World at Main and University.
Crusens on Farmington Road.
We have PLENTY of time to debate, so add your suggestions.
