Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.
The polls are still open for the April gathering and so far in the location department 10-17 is ahead with April 22 for the date.
If you’re planning on going, go make your selection if you haven’t already. The first two dates on the list are quickly approaching.
More pictures from yesterday’s blogger meetup. It was another good time hanging out with local bloggers.
Even a couple of the cameras decided to get together

Joan, Windviel (Mustang Rolling) and Dan chatting at the other end of the table.

Now there’s a good headline.
There was a good sized turnout for tonight’s gathering which made it very cozy and fun. I think there were maybe about 18 or so people there. I got there a little late (at least I can say I wasn’t the last one there…Jared wins that honour) and was surprised at just how many people were there. Madra Rua turned out to be an excellent gathering place that I’ll have to go back to because they were out of fish & chips when I got there (disappointing). Hopefully we didn’t run the waitress too ragged tonight.
It was nice to see a few new faces there tonight. Got to meet Dave Moulton (who’s blog I’ve been enjoying reading lately), Josh from Today’s Special and Microbial Lab Pam. We even had a frequent commenter (can he be called a blogger groupie?) show up for the gathering. Looking forward to the podcast Geoff ends up making with his interviews from tonight too.
Many eyes were glued to the TV watching the Patriots/Chargers game, which the Patriots ended up winning by a field goal much to Jared’s dismay.
Thanks to Heather for putting tonight’s gathering together. It was great seeing everyone again!
Update: Joan and Chuck have pictures up. Silly me forgot the camera in the car again this time.
Mike, Heather and Jared already blogged about the blognic, and it seemed like everyone had a good time hanging out. I even got interviewed by Lucia from the Post & Courier. Even Nala had a good time and got lots of attention and compliments on how well behaved she was.
It took a little bit for people to figure out where to meet, but once people started spotting each other, it didn’t take long for us to find a couple of picnic tables and start setting things up.
Mike had a tasty little spread going. The chicken was tasty.
There was a little bit of geekspeek going on.
Mostly just hanging out and talking about various things
I find Vera’s ability to knit and talk at the same time amazing. I think I’d probably end up stabbing myself if I tried to do that.
Nala loved all the attention, but I think she loved going after the bits of cake and cookies the kids would drop even more.
Thanks to Brian Muller (One voice out of billions), Planet Lowcountry Bloggers has moved to a new home and with a new name: Lowcountry Blogroll. It’s the exact same thing only at a URL that’s a little easier to remember. It’s also updated hourly so there should be less lag time between a blog entry posting and when it shows up. Those of you who had a link to the original incarnation should update your links accordingly. A re-direct on my server will send you to the new site if you still happened to be using the old URL.
Thanks for doing the hosting Brian!
