As a few of you know I stopped by the broho last week to help a friend with some wifi. While there I ran into 2 bloggers and both commented on how things have been a lil.."tense" on the blog lately. Both agreed that it wasn't quite this tense when we were all meeting up and having to face one another as actual human beings rather than pixels. It was suggested that we should have a lil get together and maybe some things will smooth out or at least a turn into a drunken mess that might be amusing. This has also manifested in my inbox as of late, a few minutes ago being my last message. What say you, people of Olyblog, mighty online community of thinkers, problem-solvers, activists and of course reporters? I was told the tune stranglers aren't around until the end of June, possibly a different venue is in the cards? I think we all owe Rick and Co a beer for the hard work they put into shifting/phasing the blog to it's new location. This is notice: Keep Monday evening open. UPDATE: for all who can, let's try and meet up at Artisan's around 6:30'ish. If there are enough of us we'll probably hang around for a little while I would think. They close at 10pm if I'm getting it right, and are located at 109 Capitol

drop by after meetings
Submitted by chad360 on Mon, 06/04/2007 - 12:37pm.Good thoughts here, but I'm swamped with Council meetings...
...maybe I'll come by later & see if anyone is around...
do you-all have an OlyBlog table sign?
How can I find the O-Blog posse in the wild?
Idea: logo party to design an 2007 OlyBlog logo to use at cafe press? Caps, mugs, and more bling!
Anythoughts?
I'm down for whatever

I have to get my haircut and shop for clothing (bleh) after work but it shouldn't take me long.
Is there anyone else out there that wants a get-together? I really feel like this is important for the social health of the blog, but I can't twist any arms either.

IF you can't make it there around 6:30 don't sweat it, just show up when you can. I'll try and log back in before I go but I have to go buy a sports coat for an interview before I go.
