Because what’s more fun than being around a bunch of people sitting on their laptops blogging about… blogging?
The first MyFoxMilwaukee.com Blog-a-palooza is set for Wednesday, January 31 – from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m. Mark it on your calendar. Get a sitter for the night. Do what you have to do to be a part of this experience! We’ll have live news coverage, goodies for the people who show up, prizes for bloggers and more.
Get a sitter for the kids so you can go sit on your laptop and drink coffee with other “Milwaukee bloggers”. Yikes.
Having been around this whole “blogging” thing for the better part of six years now and seeing one of these blogfests first hand, let me assure you there is nothing more narcissistic or yawn inducing than large numbers of people with laptops sitting around trying to think about clever things to write on their weblogs so the one of the other 10 people in attendance can shout across the room, “Hilarious post on your blog! I’m bored too!!”
I live in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Milwaukee, WI with my wife Jen, our daughter Emerson, and son Carter.
Not to mention it’s being sponsored by Fox. That’s enough to sour one on attending.
