BlogFest!…

Once again, an awesome time was had by all! East Tennessee bloggers met up at Calhoun's in Knoxville and had a righteous good time. We supped and talked and laughed … and no one blogged! Not a laptop in sight (although mine was in the car!)

…

It was my loss in leaving early. I sure wish I’d had time to stay longer to get to know the individuals in the most interesting ‘tribe’ gathered at Calhoun’s last night.

But I am pleased to make your acquaintance and especially happy to have enjoyed your clan. It took me back to the days of a house full of kids - days I sorely miss.

Thanks for getting pictures of the event Cathy. It was good to meet you and all the others at the event. I’m looking forward to the next time already.

We had a wonderful time connecting faces to words. Okay, Sarah didn’t have a good time, but apparently EVERYTHING is bo-ring to her. I was impressed that Mike was able to pull words out of the normally quiet Tommy.

[…] So Rich Hailey approaches asking, "Looking for Blogfest? Someone identified you." For a brief moment I experience what celebrities must feel and I reply, "Good to read you!" After locating Sarah we fill the final seats at the blogger’s table. Lucky for Sarah, a girl near her own age was sitting right beside her. They ignored each other the entire evening. Tommy had the pleasure of sitting beside Mike Faulk who graciously tried to engage the nervous, bored teens until being drawn into adult conversation with Dr. Helen, Glenn Reynolds, Perry Nelson, and Lissa Kay. Amy sat on Sarah’s other side. Evan took the head of the table with Cathy and I on either side of him until Katie Allison Granju, Jon Hickman, Randy Neal and Mrs. Neal showed up adding yet another table. The early bird side of the table included Thoughts of an Average Woman, Barry, Michael Silence and his wonderful daughter, Rich Hailey, and Say Uncle. As some seats emptied, Les Jones and his wife, Melissa, filled in (I hugged his wife and he was probably packing!). [Hopefully I covered everyone. This paragraph should have links to ALL attendee’s blogs and their Blogfest review.] […]

[…] Pics and more pics. […]
