[off topic] Blogger bash

If you keep and update a blog or livejournal or myspace or website, please come to the Bloggers Bash, the latest is a series of meetings of people who have an irrepressible need to post things. It's Friday, June 9th, at the P&H Cafe on Madison, starting at 7 p.m.

It's a place where smart, often-closeted people can meet, get convivial, good naturedly abuse each other's political positions, get geeky, pontificate, withdraw, act out, act up, act, and generally do what people who slightly know each other do when they gather: talk about those who don't show up.

Or according to Vonnegut, it might be what he calls a granfalloon: "a group of people who outwardly choose or claim to have a shared identity or purpose, but whose mutual association is actually meaningless in terms of fulfilling God's design."

You belong, so be there.
