I've just been organizing old photos, and, hey, in 2006 we went bowling and on pub crawls and it was all a lot of fun. I don't know, though, if that kind of informal thing scales well - there are so many more bloggers now and so much more going on. However, if somebody wants to organize a genial meetup in a pub, I'm there. I'm not particularly interested in the forum or lecture stuff; it's just not my thing.mygothlaundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017781537813147274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12840599.post-21438178060184358642010-01-20T17:57:00.947-05:002010-01-20T17:57:00.947-05:00I'd go with social, perhaps followed by an int...I'd go with social, perhaps followed by an interactive speaker who can impart relevant, helpful information in 10 minutes or less.Anne Fitten Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10183084181290067509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12840599.post-6895241903559517392010-01-20T16:01:03.194-05:002010-01-20T16:01:03.194-05:00Well specifically I would like to see us gather an...Well specifically I would like to see us gather and help improve Asheville as far as being conducive to pedestrians, cyclists, and those who use public transit. I am very interested in making changes in Asheville that will be more progressive instead of stalling our growth. So personally any forum that would gather us to work on that I would jump all over in a heartbeat. And I am always partial to social gatherings once in awhile :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12840599.post-35062343570691318922010-01-20T15:29:58.549-05:002010-01-20T15:29:58.549-05:00Can I get some specifics out of you bloggers?

But what other topics matter like that one? <br /><br />Could we maybe do something different each time? A forum one time, a speaker series next time, a beery get-together, depending on what's appropriate when?<br /><br />Start with the disaster-response forum and do something different in summer, when the weather is right for social time and a big cookout? <br /><br />Blogapalooza in the fall, and see what winter brings when it comes?Jennifer Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17986095891662329760noreply@blogger.com
