a blogvention planning meeting

Posted in blogvention at 8:54 pm by

In case you thought I forgot about blogvention, I haven’t. In case you’re new here and you have no idea what blogvention is, click here for a description of blogvention. However, in truth, there’s not much description yet as to what EXACTLY blogvention will be. That’s because nobody knows, at least not yet.

I have a plan to remedy this situation–as well as quell the upsurge of some of the recent requests that us Grand Rapids bloggers need a get together day. Being that blogvention is a mere 1 year and 1 month (give or take a day or two) away, it may be time that some plans–i.e. what the hell we’ll be doing for our one day gala–begin to firm up a bit.

As many of you already know blogvention will be happening in conjunction of another related event that may be of interest to many, if not all, of you. That event is a slightly more publicized festival known as the Festival of Faith and Writing–the previous link offers more information as well as a growing list of authors that will be speaking at the festival.

At any rate, we need to have a beer…oops…I mean meeting together to firm up the plans of blogvention. I have no problem with there being a few different expressions of the planning team because of our locational inability to meet simultaneously in a geographically convenient location (that is unless we all take a road trip to a Hooters in Nebraska, but I’m guessing that that’s probably not going to happen.)

So, as a first step and as Chair of the first annual or bi-annual blogvention, I’d like to begin taking requests to be a part of the planning process for blogvention. I’d like for anyone interested in being involved with the planning committee for blogvention to email me at this special address: blogvention [at] badchristian [dot] com . Please put the words ‘planning committee’ in the subject line.

From there I’ll figure out when and where our blogvention planning committee meetings should be held. For those of you not local to Grand Rapids, Michigan, please feel free to become a member of the ‘planning committee;’ however, expect to be delegated responsibility as a sub-committee member and to attend ‘virtual blogvention planning committee meetings’ on the internet.

For now, my friends that is all, but stay tuned for exciting blogvention news, events, and updates!

    Oh, you can keep your shitty “Sub-committee” to yourself. You hate us.

    Brandon,
    If you need some help still, let me know… maybe I can help out. As another way to keep GR bloggers hooked up, I just set up a blogring at http://www.grbloggers.com
    Hopefully, it will be of some use.

    Take care
