Save the date. Because of the convergence of a few M* bloggers in Utah on August 12, some of us have discussed getting together in Utah County that night to get better acquainted. Then we realized how boring it would be to only get acquainted with the boring people who post here. Much better to get to know those who comment here, and those who post and comment elsewhere too.
So we’d like to publicly announce that everyone is invited to just meet at 8:00 in the big new periodicals reading room at the HBLL. We’ll have to whisper, but since when did bloggers have the need to be boisterous and noisy anyway? The entire affair will probably just devolve into everyone finding interesting things to read and separating quietly to carrels dispersed across the library anyway. But at least we’re burying our noses in books together!, instead of alone, like we usually do.
Okay, maybe we won’t do it at the library. In honesty, we haven’t figured out the ‘where’ of the whole thing. But it will be in or around Provo, Utah, it will be the night of August 12, 2005, and it will include at least a few nice people, some of whom blog here at M*. What else do you need? Mark it on your calendar, and stay tuned for further details. Also, if you’re planning on coming, let us know. And if you have thoughts about a good location, let us know. We’re currently favoring a public park somewhere in Provo, which I think would be a lot of fun. See you there!
