Blogger Meet Up to Be Planned!!

We “gay bloggers” are an interesting group. Whether we’re semi-closeted or out and proud, from sunny California or the chillier regions of Canada, we are all connected. Whether we have been blogging three months or three years, we all seem to be part of a community. Look at any of our blogrolls and it becomes apparent there are far fewer than “six degrees of separation” at work.

Have you ever wanted to meet your blog buddies but wondered if it would ever be possible? Have you dreamed of getting people together but didn’t know how to go about it? We have too, and we have an answer!

Blogger Meet Up 2008!

We propose a gathering of bloggers to be held this summer in Chicago. It would be a chance for many of us to get together, hang out, and have fun in a casual atmosphere. We are thinking of about a 3-day get together, over a weekend in June or July.

Are you interested? Please contact one of us!

Troy of “Troystopher”: troychristopher@gmail.com
K of “I Have to Admit It”: ufgatork@gmail.com
B of “ Figuring Myself Out”: figuringmyselfoutblog@gmail.com
JR of “Nothing Golden Stays”: nothing.golden.stays@gmail.com

When contacting us to indicate your interest, let us know of your preferred weekends. Please email us no later than Friday, Feb. 29th so we can get dates set and look for a hotel to accommodate the group. Watch this blog for additional information as plans progress.

We look forward to hearing from you. Lets make this a fun event!

All our Best,
B, Troy, K and JR

It would be really fun to try to make this. I was planning a trip to the US anyway this year, so why not in summer? I'll keep checking this site for the dates.

I'm a new gay blogger, but I would love to come up to Chicago this summer. Has anyone thought about having this meet-up during Market Days (the big two day street festival that has about 250,000 gays at it in Boystown)?

Très joli blog. De belles illustrations. Des textes personnels et souvent très pertinents.
Que demander de plus ?
Je reviendrai te lire avec plaisir !

I mentioned this event to my partner and it sounds as though we're both pretty interested in getting out to this event and have an opportunity to explore Chicago more!
