Here’s What I’m Thinkin’

by Leslie

It’s late. Really late. I should be in bed like a responsible adult, but I’m not. Instead, I’ve put on one heck of a fake rock concert, played on-line poker and sucked down enough Diet Coke to kill a lab rat. And so I have thoughts. In my brain. Deep thoughts, inspired by that bitter akaloid caffeine.

Here’s the main thing: Blogher. Are you going? I’m not going. I mean, I thought about going. Karly asked me if I was going and I was really tempted to go, but mostly to meet Karly. And she didn’t know if she was going. We were just talking about it. Instead of going there, I’d rather invite you all - my community - to hang out. We could have Blogher, Jr. Except, no. That name won’t work. There are men in our community…as well as non-bloggers…

We could form The League of Super Internet Acquaintances and meet at my house. I’ve got space. People could camp in my yard. Except for a few of you that I’d invite to stay in my family room for a slumber party. You know who you are. We could play Truth or Dare. Someone’s bra would probably end up in the freezer. It’d be great.

I know some people are freaked out about meeting someone from the internet, but if there was a big group of us - you know, safety in numbers. Or maybe a get-together isn’t a good idea.

The League of Super Internet Acquaintances still is a good idea, though. I’d love to have a thingy like the NaBloPoMo Randomizer that would consist of blogs authored by members of my League of Super Internet Acquaintances. That’d be sweet.

It’d be even cooler if our name spelled something. Super League Of Bloggers. S.L.O.B.

It’d be even greater if it spelled BADASS.

I’ve also been thinking about doing a video blog post, just to try it out. Maybe I’d do one once a week, or once a month or never. I don’t know.

I’m just thinking.

12 Cool Kids Came To Play

Hey, you think really good thoughts at 2:30 am that is when I get most of my good thoughts too. I always tell my hubby if there was one person I could meet from the internet it would be you, he thinks I am crazy, haha,…though, maybe I am;-)

Dude. Look out your window. I’m camped out on your front lawn already. THAT is how cool of an idea you have.

You are hilarious! And, close enough to me that we could really meet up sometime.
I have thought about going to blogher twice but last year I couldn’t afford it and this year we originally thought the hubs had a conference to attend but now the conference is later and I want to go with him alone-no kids so I’m saving money for that. It sure would be great though to meet up with some bloggers someday. I honestly don’t know where most of these bloggers get the money for 2-3 nights of $250/night hotel rooms. Am I missing something?

Yea, I’ve thought about going too but it’s just too far away to make sense for me.

Too bad, there are a lot of bloggers I’d like to meet up with.

And thank you so much, the package arrived today.

Don’t you just love caffeine?!

You keep on thinking, girl. Ha-ha, SLOB and BADASS. How about BADASSMOMS OR BADASSDADS?

After much thought on the topic the best I could come up with was Bloggers Open to Meeting but somehow I don’t think BOTM (pronounce Bottom) carries quite the same connotation as BADASS. I am all about the sleepover though. Google says it would only take 18 hours to reach your general vicinity.

We should have a Battle Royale.

I am confused. My feed reader shows you posted your very first video blog so of course I rushed right over to see it but when I get here this is the post at the top. Am I in a time warp/alternate reality thingie (That’s a general use technical term, BTW.)?

I love the idea! I probably couldn’t make it, but I do love the idea.

[…] 9. I often have dreams that I host a big blogging event at my house during which The Polyphoic Spree performs an outdoor concert in our field next to the barn and we all jump and twirl around to Light And Day. It’s like Woodstock. Or Blogstock. Or like this. If it ever goes down, I promise to invite you. […]
