Hey Danny – thanks for coming out. I appreciate your feedback. I went back and forth deciding whether to make more out of the introductions and then decided to just keep it simple and have more time for the actual readings. But both Joe and I felt afterwards that there needed to be a little if not a lot more to make it feel more friendly. It might be that we have 8 readers instead of 10/11 and that’s fine. Hope you come back next time and read! : )

Very cool evening–kudos to you and all the bloggers who read. My only comment is that before starting, the bloggers should state their name, the name of their blog, and perhaps a sentence or two about their blog (or themselves). Also some more in-between MC-ing would be fun. Maybe you could say a few words about the various people before bringing them up to the stage. Great job, everyone!

[...] A few hours ago, I got back from a rather pleasant event – LA Bloggers Live! What was it? LA Bloggers Live! Exactly what it says on the packet. So there were several bloggers from the Los Angeles area who came together to read out loud some of the posts from their blogs, listening to each other and meeting each other in the “real” world, as opposed to online. It was really great – there were several great readings, and it was excellent to meet and chat with some of the people whose blogs I’ve read from time to time. It was good old-fashioned community, plain and simple. There were readings on lots of topics, from joy and pain in relationships to learning how to swim and ride a bike the hard ways. Over on Leah Peah’s blog (she conceived and organized the event, apparently) you can see the list of readers, and later there’ll be some links to the posts that were read along with some audio. (I was particularly pleased that Will Campbell, whose blog I read from time to time, read a post that I recognized fondly – in it he’s on his bike, and he gets to do one of those things that all cyclists have wanted to do at least once, and never normally get to do.) I will update this post later to point to later such links. [...]

Ohh! I’m so jealous. Nashville is not hip enough to do this. Hell, I don’t know if we have any bloggers (besides me)…
Congrats about Amy! That’s totally awesome. I would more than crap my pants. I think I’d have a seizure.

So, this might be a tad personal but… did you crap your pants?

I don’t get all star struck. In fact, I find the whole obsession over celebrities as a really big weakness/sickness. Having said that, I love me some Amy Sedaris. Like, if I weren’t married and she were inclined in that way and she were then inclined in the way of the mihow, I’d do her in a second. And then I’d ask her to make me a bunt cake or a Jello ring.
