The Ann-iversary
On May 4, 2006, Ann Michael, left her first comment here. In a bit of fun, two weeks later, we started planning a trip together. The first place mentioned was Australia. As it turned out, we actually took a trip — to NYC to the Seth Godin seminar. We met outside our hotel, checked in and had dinner. We walked the city at night talking about life, and the next day went to Seth’s Seminar. That was last June.
Ann Michael was the first blogger I met in person.
So when Darren said, “I’m in NYC. Are you coming?”
I called Ann and said, “It’s been a year. We have to.” Then we laughed and started plotting.
ProBlogger New York Readers Meetup
On June 9th in beautiful New York City, Ann Michael and I are meeting Darren Rowse (and, oh probably, over 100 of his best friends) in a saloon called “Speakeasy.”
One year since we met to go to Seth’s Seminar and we’re going to a meetup to enjoy the famous Australian hospitality of Darren Rowse. Talk about kicking it up a notch! Is that cool or what?
It’s the official Problogger Meetup. Are you going to be there? The folks who went last time said it was incredible.
Here are the details.
ProBlogger New York Readers Meetup
Date – Saturday 9th June
Time – 7pm – 10pm (we might go on somewhere afterwards)
Venue – The Speakeasy (a party room at 442 Amsterdam Ave between 81st and 82nd St)
Cost – Free – thanks to the generous sponsors Chitika (they are providing some finger food snacks and a free drink to the first 100 people to arrive – don’t be late). All we ask is that you tip the bar staff and ‘be merry’!If youââ¬â¢re planning on attending itââ¬â¢d be great if you could drop by the page to RSVP. While itââ¬â¢s not compulsory to RSVP itââ¬â¢ll certainly help Darren with planning for prizes and such.
Too fun! I get to be with the first blogger I met and meet the friend — legend, star, super human being — who’s always been there for me. To think I once believed blogging was only about writing.
Rowse and Strauss — they rhyme.
