j - July 13, 2004 @ 1:13 pm · Meetings

We are meeting on Thursday, July 15, at 7 pm at the Berkman Center as usual. This week’s meeting has not been canceled.

Proposed agenda:

  • Bloggers covering the DNC

    • Maybe some of our group members with credentials will talk a little bit more about what they hope to do while covering the convention

    • Do we want to try to do anything special with bloggers coming into the area?
      • I’ve heard rumors that a northern neighbor with credentials is looking for some blogging fun while in town.

      • psuedo convention schedule
  • Perhaps an update of some of the things we talked about last week.
  • Can we get Rebecca to talk about a panel she’s on about media and blogs at a conference next month?
  • Guest speakers
  • Reminder: the meeting the following week will be with the Boston Blog Meetup on Wednesday, July 21, and there will be no meeting at the Berkman Center on Thursday, July 22.
    • If anyone has a major problem with this, bug j.
  • makeoutcity.com shirts are available
  • Eat

    • Smile Thai food
    • Cambridge Common last week

No Webcast, but IRC will be available.

Notes:

Construction note: There might still be a fence around Harkness Commons preventing access to the Berkman Center via the Harvard Law School yard. It may be possible to cut through Pound Hall to get to a parking lot near the Berkman Center. For those coming from Harvard Square, it might be easier to travel along Massachusetts Avenue to the Berkman Center. map

Like past and future agendas, if you have an item you’d like on the agenda, comment, get blogging privileges from Jay , or contact him or the other j.

At the last meeting, everyone agreed to skip the Thursday, July 22nd meeting in favor of attending the Wednesday, July 21st Boston Blog Meetup.  Meetup.com hosts a website for people interested in hundreds of topics to plan in-person gatherings. The Boston Blog Meetup has never really taken off so some of us have adopted it. We needed 3 people to vote for a venue to make sure Meetup.com didn’t cancel the event and ended up with over 20.

WHO: Boston Bloggers

WHAT: Boston Blog Meetup

WHEN: Wednesday, July 21st @ 7pm

WHERE: Marche Movenpick (inside the Prudential Center), 800 Boylston Street, Boston

COST: The restaurant is a sort of international cafeteria — ala carte style. Each person pays for their own food/drink. You can expect to pay $5+.

DIRECTIONS:
If you drive, park in the Prudential Garage and bring in your parking ticket for $7 parking. It’s $20-$28 without validation. Otherwise, take the Green Line to the Pru’s stop on the “E” Line.
