Typical. While I've been reminiscing about nearly choking to death on Snickers while drunk on Baileys, my proactive better half Katr has been thinking about cool ways to bring a little more girl on girl action into our lives. Specifically, girl blogger action. The kind of women blogger action that will be taking place this summer in San Jose at the BlogHer '06 conference, but further north. Like, here in Canada! Is it time for a BlogHer North? Moi, je pense que "oui".
A little quote from Katr's blog about the point of it all :
There are a lot of women bloggers out there who are looking for a community to connect with. Maybe it's tech-tips, maybe it's writing techniques, maybe it's about design. How to promote your small business, or run your local political campaign, or update the other parents in your daughter's soccer league. It's not about prominent, sexy, "newsworthy" speakers. It's about a community coming together to forge relationships.
No, not naked relationships. Well, maybe. But only if you take pictures and blog about it after.
So, blogging (or "thinking about blogging but haven't gotten around to it") ladies, how 'bout it? It'll only happen if we think there's enough interest; to sweeten the deal, I'll tell you right now that if we get this conference off the ground, I will be lobbying for (and probably running) a donut kiosk. Mmm . . . blogging AND donuts. I know, I know . . . it feels so right.
So hey - if you're interested and/or have any comments and suggestions, head on over to MyNameIsKate and leave her a note!! NO NUDE PICTURES, THOUGH, you pervs. Save 'em for the conference.
