Bloggers UNITED!!!

Posted on 05. May, 2008 by loswhit in Amigos

Some shots from the blogging gathering tonight.
It was a fantastic time of awkward side hugs and feeling a bit like we all know too much about each other.
Seriously though, it was amazing.

From the bottom row, L to R.
Tyler Reagin, Carlos Whittaker, Andyi816, Chad Roberts, Pete Wilson, Jenni Catron , Matt Funakawa , Heather Whittaker, Nick Blevins, Jennifer Blevins, Kye Chung, Jason Samuels, Pete Kim, Josh Lazar, Miranda Wiggleston, Kevin Bunnell, Brad Bretz, Rich Barrett, Joe Wiggleston, John Cornelius, Loran Lichty, Brian Reese, John Weatherford, Tim, Reid Greven, Got No Blue .
Those were the blogs I remembered. I think there are 2 links missing from the pic and a few peeps not in the pic.

A few things I found out about Ragamuffin Readers tonight.
1. They like their beer.
2. The like to cuss. Especially the pastors. (just kidding)(sort of)
3. The love Jesus.
4. They’re a good looking bunch.
5. They are all completely sane. All but Tyler.

We talked a bit about how the church either needs to jump on the wave that is social media or move out of the way because it is coming. And the church can either fight it and drown, or embrace it and surf.

I think I would rather surf…
Have you had a blogger meet up like this before?

    I like beer.

    Too much so.

    It’s how I maintain my svelte figure.

    Wish I had been there.

    A meet-up?

    Last year it was great to meet up with one of our favorite bloggers:
    http://www.danhames.blogspot.com

    when he was traveling through the USA from England.

    After over 2 years of reading his blog and having God use it to highly encourage (and entertain!), it was serioulsly a high point of our year~

    I am yet to meet up with any folks I know solely from blogging. Sometime soon though, I’m thinking.

    Your list sounds a lot like my roommates + group of friends here to a T. Except hardly any of them blog (that I know of…) Perhaps they should “catch the wave” as well.

    Thanks for the video! It was fun to see some bloggers I have known – go Jenni! – along with some I have yet to meet but feel like I know!

    why do I feel like I missed a class reunion or something?

    No, I haven’t… but I’m planning one NOW. I’m trying to get together bloggers who are attending Whiteboard. I have you on my list. It would be awesome to hang with you… and have you join us for lunch on Thursday (22nd). We’re just about ready to promote the details… but here is the list I’m compiling of bloggers at Whiteboard (some unconfirmed for lunch):

    Let’s chat. I’d love to get some ideas from you.
