DC Bloggers 2009


DC Bloggers, originally uploaded by KierDuros.

For the last few months, I've been involved with the DC Bloggers Meetup group. It's been pretty awesome.

There's no shortage of interesting, intelligent, and well spoken/written people in this area. The Internet has allowed a number of us to get our ideas out there in ways that wouldn't have been possible 20 years ago (and not quite as easy a decade ago).

This past Wednesday, we had our last meeting of 2009. The small cadre of word-wizards that showed up decided it would be neat to get a quick snapshot of the group. (Note that those who show up are only a very small percentage of the entire group--every month the mix is a little different).

Me? I'm behind the camera... because I was apparently the only one experienced enough in herding cats to get a bunch of writers lined up properly in the restaurant. Comes from all those years of wrangling community groups and politicians into line while working as a photojournalist, I guess. :)

DC Bloggers will be back in January--kicking off with my Blogging 101 presentation on 9 January. Hope to see some of you out there.
