That was good

I finally got to a meetup of local bloggers -- the one held last night at the Green Bean in downtown Greensboro. It was low-key, productive and enjoyable, and it was good to see some old acquaintances and meet in person some of the people whom I've known and admired to this point only through their writing. Props to Roch, Chewie, Billy, Jim Capo, TheShu, David Hoggard, Jay Ovittore, Tara Sue, Sue, Herb and the other attendees I'm probably forgetting.

The regular meetup time is 7 p.m. on the third Wednesday of each month, although I had to leave last night before things were over and so don't know yet where next month's meetup will be. (In a moment of parental rashness, I had promised my kids I'd be home to kiss them goodnight before they went to sleep.)

If you're local and you blog (or want to learn about blogging), c'mon out.

Thanks to you for coming and for proving professional journalists are cool too.

No, Billy, we're really not, which is why most movies about journalists (as opposed to, say, submariners) suck.
