What do you all think:  Should we invite the b.com staff?  :)

I heard at the last meeting Jason kept interrupting and censoring people.

What Erik means to say is sure, invite us!  -J.

 Sounds like fun. I'm game. I should be in town this weekend.

I may consider attending. There is no need for me to wear a name tag. Lol

 Have you really done this before.....If so how many bloggers showed up?

Sounds like fun....as long as some blogger I ticked off last year doesn't punch my lights out. 

 Are hoods and robes are optional, wait wrong meeting

 I will try to be there, sounds like fun! When you all hear me talk you will know I write like I talk!! HA  I do have another "engagement" on my calendar but will try to swing by to say..HEY!

 Could be fun, I'll see if we're free!

  Are hoods and robes are optional, wait wrong meeting

I'll be the one in the Darth Vader mask...

 Gube...there have been 3 that I'm sure of and maybe one more.  Pictures are available.  I have the links someplace.

At the first one, only Steve, Scary Mary, Audrey, her daughter Cat, and moi showed up.  We met at Mauricios for brunch.  After that they were at Dagneys.

 "Should we invite the b.com staff?  :)"  

Only if they buy. 

ROFL.  Kidding.  They're a fun bunch too.
 

 thanks Nancy

 Here's pictures from one last year: http://people.bakersfield.c...

 And more pictures: http://people.bakersfield.c...

This has great pictures: http://people.bakersfield.c...

Oh and so no one thinks they won't find us, I'll wear my Bakersfield.com shirt.

 Thanks Tom..I had to go find them in my disorganized files.  Funny that we didn't get any pictures at the very first one.  We must have been too busy eating and talking about the ones who didn't show up.  That's the rule ya know...whoever isn't there gets talked about.  :-)

spam code  vew up. 

 That is the rule, Nancy.  I think there may be pictures of the first one, those are the just the ones I found.  Logan or Jason may have pictures somewhere as well.

I can't believe the one I went to was a year ago.

 Wow, thanks for taking the initiative, Tom!  (And Bartley, I'd use a popular internet acronym here that starts with ROFL but then I'd have to censor myself.)  ;)

We very much enjoyed hosting our blogger meetups at Dagny's, and only stopped because of budgetary constraints.  :(  BTW, those were just coffee and cookies, Tom, you're calling this a brunch--you makin' us omlettes?  :)

Here are some more pix and stuff from last year:

I'll definitely come by some time, it'll be nice to see familiar faces and "meet" some new ones!

 Naw, Jason, just a sucker for alliteration.  :)  BTW, I don't think anyone here would only come if you guys are buying.

We like you.  We really, really like you.

Good thing you stopped yourself, Jason, or I'd have to report you. 

 Sure it's a "Blogger's Brunch." Sounds like a vast, left-wing conspiracy to me :>) 

 Darn. I'm in a workshop all day saturday.

 Whaddya say, Doc? Come by and sing us a song?

 So, a meet up during the day?  While the sun is out?  No computers involved? hmm...

We will probably pop in if we don't get lost.  Never been to Dagny's.

FreeCognate, no, we all bring our laptops and chat online face to face. (I keed, I keed)

 FreeCognate, I'd love to meet you both.

 I want to see Random  and Chico      can I come please

 I would really like to attend but the Grandkids have a Martial Arts tournement Saturday. If anyone is interested the tournement runs all day at the community Center in Oildale. Drop in if you get a chance.

Afraid I'll have to miss this one.  I'll be up in the Bay Area for a drum corps fundraiser chowing down on all-you-can-eat crab cioppino!

 Whaddya say, Doc? Come by and sing us a song?

Will this one do?

On a serious note (no pun intended), I'd like to stop by, if I can work it out.  I always keep a guitar in my car, so, if there's a demand, there shall be a supply. 

 if i can get a sitter i'll probably stop by for a few.....  i say the meeting be moved to the alley cat....  bloggers, brews and brawls! sounds like my kinda get together. lol jk.

 Looks like only 3 meet and greets so far.  I can't remember if Steve took any pictures at Mauricios or not.   Hey Steve..did you?

Tom..the one where we met was the first one at Dagneys.  I couldn't make it to the second as I was out of town.  I don't remember there being any more.

 OK, Nancy.  I only made it to the one where we met.  For some reason I thought I might have missed more before that.

 AllRed, you can see some pictures of Random in the from the last few.  Chico should head on down.

 Sorry to miss you, ColorNine.  I'll wave to you on the freeway as we pass each other.

 Cassandra, next time maybe we can set up another one for the Alley Cat.  I love that place.

lol i don't thinks bloggers and alcohol mix very well. i caffiene is a much better choice. but maybe on one of my few nights out i'll see you down there!

 There were three at Dagny's, March, April and May, before we had to stop having them.  :(  (We just didn't take pix at all of them.  The last one we only had a few folks, I remember Mattloch, Buffoo, Possummomma, and WoofWoof, I think.)

 I'll drop by to say high.

 Heck, maybe I'll show up for the first time! And Nancy, I do remember pics from Maurico's - Steve must have them somewhere.

 Mom, Cassie..call and remind me. If I am not up in Tulare getting the Harley, I'll come by. Cassie..Just bring the boy..Me n Mom will help with him.

 awesome pic dad! i misssssssssssssss those days.... soon enough you'll  teachin aidan to ride that 50.  and we will, and i was, i thought about it after i saw jason had taken his daughter to one...... besides, he's awesome and everyone will love him.  too bad they probably won't feel the same about me.  lmao.  *you sure this kid is related to you? he's so cool*

 Sounds like fun... there is a first time for everything... I will try and make it by... Thanks for the invite... ~Ted~

 Hey Nancy

The problem with being a part time blogger is missing out on the meeting announcements.  I'll try to attend.  

 Great Audrey!  I'd love to see you again.  We're the "founding bloggers" of the meet and greets ya know..LOL.

 Of course it's the one weekend I'm moving, but I'll see what I can do

 Well, I'm finally back after my Internet died on me yeseterday. So, let's see.

Oh yeah. I'm agoraphobic and scared of the city. Oh, and you think I'm kidding, don't you? :)

The more legitimate reason I honestly cannot go, though, is because, ahem, I still don't have my license. Man, I really need to learn how to drive, huh? I don't think my parents would be up for taking me downtown (sooo far from home!) to see y'all. They think I'm weird. Now I feel bad for saying I can't go.

Umm...I just remembered I might be starting my garden on Saturday, too. I need to get my tomato seeds in the ground so they're ready for the summer. I have to go to my brother-in-law's concert that night, too...

 Roy, missed your comment before.  Have a great time at the tournament and we'll see you next time.

[edited: Apparently there was a Who under my "M" key.  I'll not venture to guess why it's working now....]

 Hey Robin if anyone has a legitimate excuse not to attend it's me. 

I've been growing my hair out and it looks like a platinum tumbleweed.  My appearance was OK for my family, they have to love me, but  it's not OK for anyone  else to see my wild woman of Borneo "do".

I may be wearing a bag over my head but I plan to attend.

 Audrey! I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow to try to make myself presentable for the meeting Saturday!  I figure my daily "hair in a ratty bun" work at home look isn't too presentable for the real world.  Come with me, we can gab at the mall!

WoofWoof: I'll be the really pale chick in the corner trying to get my eyes to adjust to the brightness of day.
