Hey y’all, writeup of part I still being written and proofed, but here are photos from both events taken by leahpeah.
Rock Bottom in La Jolla was a great venue (lovely brews!), though a little loud for “serious discussion” - -still, that was what Part I was all about.
Our wonderful sponsor, Mingle.com provided some refreshments, as well as an iPod Shuffle, won by our own MAS. Also a lynda.com CD-ROM called “Learning Blogger” was won by Nick.
I remember great individual conversations about why people blog, advertising, readership, podcasting technologies, and more. But so scattered? We had about 25-30 people filter through during the event.
I want to thank MAS, Steve, and Leah for helping this event such a success. Many people thanked me for putting the event together, but without their serious coordination, it would not have been possible in the least.
After the jump is a giant list of urls from the participants, in alphabetical order. (Holler if any of yours were left out!) I collected these by “aggressively mingling” with everyone there. I made a promise to myself to talk to everyone, and like a cub reporter, gathered these urls. Please leave a comment if I missed you.
Likewise, please feel to comment in flickr and maybe we can get these photos captioned!

JOE… GREAT job mingling! I was impressed with how you kicked people out of their chairs and made them move over so you could move in. And then on to the next blogger… Really, it kinda forced people to move and mingle. I never did make it to the other end of the table, however!

I didn’t know about this event until too late. Heck, I didn’t even know about this blog until a mention of mine by Joe. Looks and sounds like a good time was had by all. Cheers.

It was great to meet everyone, even though we got there too late to fit at the table!
Thanks for organizing.
