I’ve often commented that I have no life. It’s often stated in jest, but there’s a lot of truth in that. I need to get out more, spend a little quality time away from this computer. It’s wonderful, but to have it as my primary — nearly sole — outlet to the world can’t be healthy.
So I’m thinking about tossing a little blog-gathering next weekend, either Friday the 17th or Saturday the 18th. Just picking someplace public, saying I’ll be there, and anyone else who feels like stopping by, please do so.
But I stink at things like this. That’s why I’m gonna ask for some help from you folks.
Anyone interested in attending a Blog Bash in southern NH? And any ideas for a good place, in the Concord/Manchester/Nashua/Salem area? My first leaning is towards Jillians in Manchester next Saturday afternoon/evening, but what the hell do I know?
If that sounds appealing to you, and you’d be interested and able to attend, speak up in the comments. If you have any suggestions for time and place, add those in, too.
That’s the weekend my best friend is coming up for a family obligation, too, but I might be able to lure him away for a few hours. He’s an occasional commenter here.
So speak up, folks. Blogger bash? Who wouldn’t like to bash a blogger face-to-face?
Jay,
Great idea, but maybe you should have done this before all the Islam cartoon riots posts. You are making it too easy for some nut case to defend the honor of Islam.
Then again, maybe this is a ruse to catch some of those nut cases.
What a tricky guy you are; maybe.
Geez, man, could you give a little more time? I’d be up for something in the Salem or Manch-vegas area, but not next weekend…
I’m interested, but I need a little more time to save space on my social schedule.
Well, I’d certainly be interested, Jay, so consider that at least one vote.
I would like to attend but I also cannot that weekend. I am open to location.

Definitely interested, schedule permitting. More lead-in time would be preferable. Manchester, Nashua and Salem all work for me. Concord is a little tougher.
Well, you know I’d be interested, but Valerie will be arriving any time between later today and the 21st, so the timing is bad.
I’m interested, Jillian’s would be fine but I’m more of a Strange Brew man myself.
It will be difficult deciding which set of pajamas to wear in Manchester.
So is this ONLY for bloggers, or lurkers as well? I’m up for Saturday, and Salem works best for me, but Manch Vegas isn’t too bad either.
Ya know, there is a Hooters in Salem. {hint} 😉
Another Jay:
Yes, readers are also welcome. You, sir, however, will be an honored guest.
But it looks like I might have to reschedule it, because of such short notice… also things are getting complicated on my end, too. Rest assured, you will get a personal invite.

Nah, no special treatment needed for me. Just as long as there’s cold beer, and fellow right-of-center thinkers to talk to 🙂
a rockin idea.
pick a date. I’ll wear my special jammies.
