At the NAPO Conference, John Trosko, Monica Ricci and I organized a get-together for the organizer bloggers. I don’t have a copy of the whole group photo, but you can see one here on Brandie Kajino’s site. We had a great turnout of over 2 dozen of us from literally all over the world, and I am now inspired to re-do my "Blogs I Like" list! (See left sidebar of this page) Here’s a photo of me, Monica, and John at the meeting:

Great roundup Lorie! I had a great time meeting you and all the other bloggers. Now I have a whole new list of posts to read. Rock on Organizing Bloggers! 🙂
Thanks for the mention, Lorie! And thanks so much for co-organizing the bloggers gathering. It really was a pleasure.
I was so happy to find out about the meeting, totally by chance, by sitting at John’s table at lunch! And now I’m happy to have joined the organizing bloggers club. We all totally rock.
Wish I could have joined you… so many conferences, so little time (and budget!). There is some serious, but fun, momentum building.
It was great meeting you in Reno. Thank you for mentioning me in your blog.
The blog meeting was fun and I’m excited to read everyones blogs that was at the blog meeting.
Write on…I enjoy your blogs.
Not only ARE you a fashion plate (which I mean in the best, most nicely-envious way), but your excellent descriptive talents get you a repeat mention this week (though you’ll have to wait until tomorrow to see it).
Thanks for adding me to your blogroll, too. (Now, I’d better stop faffing and get back to work, eh?)
Hi Lorie – Would you believe that I am still working through my reader… argh! Hey, thanks for the link love, it was so awesome to meet you in person. I truly love your blog and your contribution!
