As long as there are martinis, I’ll be there
I’ve decided to attend Blogtoberfest 2006 in beautiful Boston.
I find it convenient to attend since I a) live in the area b) can walk there after work and c) I’ve been assured there’ll be martinis. Sure, I have to buy my own – but as an old married lady my years of getting free drinks are over. Unless I bring my husband/designated driver with me and even then it’s iffy I’ll get a free drink.
I’ve never been to a blogger event so I hope I’m not horrified (or horrifying) or disappointed (or disappointing) to my fellow bloggers. Having been to dozens of tech-oriented networking events, I suspect I know how it will go down.
Still, I'm curious and I’m sure none of the people read my blog anyway. I’ve been skimming the blogs of some of the people that are attending and while I did fine a few familiar names I suspect I’m probably older than most of the people planning to attend.
On the bright side, that probably means I have better credit.

i would imagine more folks read your blog than you think - i keep coming back not only because your writing is witty, but you also seem fearless in your approach.
I am most curious to see what sort of conversational skillz your fellow bloggers have in person. Will they talk about something other than technology? Will they ask you polite questions about yourself? Inquiring minds want to know.

Don't worry - I'll provide a full report!
And as a side, I swear I don't even pay Jen for all of the nice stuff she says about me all the time. Thanks Jen!
Thanks for signing up Alyssa!
Don't worry, there is a range of age and professions in the group! I'm sure there will be some technology discussion, but I think the consensus among the group is that it will be a great way to just get out after work and meet some new people (and perhaps wrangle a free drink out of someone!).
I look forward to meeting you! See you in a couple of weeks!
so you're... excited? about.. it?
