Cam is organizing a blogbowl night of bowling for bloggers in NYC. The place: Bowlmor lanes (of course.) The date: Tomorrow (5/25) 9:00 - midnight. Here's the sign-up sheet (they have to make a reservation.)
FWIW, I'm going to try and make it. I think getting to meet Robert swayed me. We'll see if I actually motivate come 9:00 pm.
Too late for me tonight, but you should definitely go and network (as they used to say in the '80s). Don't be shy now... Did you get those business cards yet? How about bowling shoes?
Go, and bring back that trophy. And as you line up your sites hear the chant, dmtree,dmtree,dmtree. Punish the opposition, er, I mean, have a good time, meet some nice new people.
you should have business cards designed as leaves. im sure mr arbor day could find something suitable for our nyc environs. im tempted to join you on your sojourn but i just took half a valium so that i could sit up straight without wincing, so i dont think a bowling alley would do much for my nerves. i think i saw an ad for bowlmor on tv, no actually it was on an access hollywood segment -- fun with the stars -- that sort of thing. its said they had glow in the dark pins. now thats living!
bold move adding your name to the list and everything.
So did you go, or what?
Yeah, I went. MB came too which was a good thing as she actually knows how to socialize with people. God I am such a dork. I was actually stuttering at a few points which hasn't happened since about the third grade. Not that it was any big deal. Everybody was very nice. Cam seems, happily, much like I expected. Very warm friendly guy. Knows how to bowl too. Grant Barrett (who I guess is also related to Cam, although not twins like Cam and MrBarrett) was very nice to us and talked to MB for a while, although I didn't realize who he was until after. Brigette Eaton was there, and was either fairly shy as well, or not having too great of a time (I think the former.) I remember seeing some picture of her and I thought she was going to be much older. Seems quite young really. She brought her younger sister along (who has nothing to do with the web) and I probably talked to her the most. I didn't even bowl, but MB threw a respectible game. Not really sure why I went, and still not sure. Sort of interesting to put some faces with the names. Don't think I made too much of an impression though.

i think you should ditch the "on" between the name and the date. if not, why not an "at" before the time??

O.K. I meant to fix this whole line, but then never got around to it and then forgot. I was going to convert the 24 hour to 12 hour time and chop off those seconds, but like so many other things... well, you know. But if someone mentions something and it doesn't involve some major rewrite, I'll definitely do it.

Yeah. I just filled in an email, but I guess they either assumed it was a homepage or somebody checked. I wasn't really thinking it was going to be linked like that, but oh well...
