The Miami Blogosphere Gathers
Can someone please clue me in as to what in the Tori Anus(.com!) this is all about? (I hope that’s not some s00per sekrit URL that is meant only for me and other members of the elite!)
It sounds like an event that I would be required/expected to wear more than cargo shorts and a t-shirt to. And I probably wouldn’t know anyone there and nobody would know me so I would probably just hang out in the corner, silently judging people while glaring and projecting thoughts of “DON’T YOU DARE JUDGE ME!! YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW ME!!!!!zOMG!!” or something.
And since it’s on the beach and like 1 block away I can’t really use my excuse of “I don’t have a car/ride. Sorry!” to get out of it.
I will only show up if Amy promises to go and if I am allowed to wear my Etnies.
Speaking of Etnies… Two of my pictures are on Etnies’ site as part of a photo contest. I hope I win!! I could really use some new kicks.

I don’t have a car/ride. Sorry…… 🙂
Did you get this Evite mailed to you or what? And if you don’t get one sent to you, are you crashing the party?
It’s a good thing people don’t know what I look like because I can go, check things out and then decide whether I just want to get drunk by myself or whether I want to be sociable.

I’m not a big Miami blogger, I guess. Oh, the shame of it all!

Chris, check out my reply at SToP

Yo, I got the 411 on SoTP

I actually received 2 evites to the email address I used to register my domain name. Someone was rather resourceful/diligent!

WTF? Barry and Hiassen got invited and I didn’t? What kind of crap is that?
August 7, 2006 @ 11:58 am
I wonder what address they used for me, since I haven’t received an invitation yet. It must have been auto-routed into the Spam folder.
I can’t say that I’m exactly excited about the prospect, mind you. I’d love to meet some new people, but as Alesh said, a corporate pseudo-event may not be the best venue.
August 7, 2006 @ 12:18 pm
Yes, I got invited. I think the invite came to me through Seth Gordon’s email list, which I am on.
August 7, 2006 @ 3:01 pm
I don’t think I was the recipient of an e-vite. I love that you will only go if I go. I feel the same way. If you wanna go, I’ll go with you. Though, if anyone tries to take my picutre, I’m gonna have to hightail it the fuck out of there.

How about the SoBe bloggers (Amy, Christian, Jose, me, and ??) get together at Zeke’s one night?
August 7, 2006 @ 7:58 pm
Zeke’s is the place with fairly cheap beer on Lincoln Road, right? I can handle that!
Who is Jose??
August 8, 2006 @ 10:00 am
Sounds good to me. Even though I stopped drinking, I was happy to see that Zeke’s opened back up.
Lesley Abravanel’s column in todays Miami Herald had a small blurb about the blogosphere gathering on the 19th. That alone is enough to keep me away.
August 8, 2006 @ 12:38 pm
Amy, I hear ya. I mean are like the paparazzi going to show up? Do I need to wear my red carpet face?
August 12, 2006 @ 9:52 am
As everone knows, no one has assembled a directory of Blogs yet (now THERE’S a business opportunity for someone!) so it has taken some detective work to gather the meager list we have. I know it’s not comprehensive. I know we missed LOTS of Major Domo Bloggers. If you want to come, please just send me a note to MiamiPR@aol.com so we know how many truckloads of Stormhoek to deliver!

I want to see Sean Yazbeck at the Wine Festival. He is a Miami Hottie Actor in a Horror Movie.

Aw, i thought this was quite a good post. In concept I would like to devote writing such as this moreover – spending time and actual effort to produce an excellent article… but exactly what do I say… I procrastinate alot by no means manage to get something done.
