Hit the Road for NYC

This weekend, instead of attending the Philly meetup that I organize, I'm heading up to New York City to visit with Jason and his meetup.

In case you wondered, the Philly meetup is still on, even though I won't be there, I'm sure some people will show. Check the RSVP list. Don't forget that the Philly Weblogger (non-WordPress) folks show up right afterward, so be sure to have a beer and wait around.

As far as the New York meetup is concerned, I'm currently under the impression that I'll be answering questions posed by the group, specifically things that people wrote about on my request for requests. If nobody asks any questions, then I'll just go down the list of topics from that post, babbling incoherently about many WordPress topics.

Other people will be there. Jason, whom I've never met in person, seems like a knowledgeable guy concerning WordPress. Bobby Deaton says he's coming -- and he'd better because he owes me lunch. John Joseph Bachir, author of Lyceum (a multi-blog fork of WordPress), appears to be a "Maybe" for this event, too. I hope to meet a bunch of other New York bloggers while I'm visiting.

Someone suggested that they wouldn't be able to come, and wondered if there would be a recording of the event. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that or not, but after the meetup I'll be sure to at least post notes about what we talked about. It depends on how much gear I feel willing to cart around the city all day. I'm actually brining my notebook this time (Wow!) and hope to pay the high premium for Starbucks internet action.

We'll see you at Starbucks, 4pm on Saturday the 21st.

    [...] I’ll be heading up to the New York WordPress meetup this month, as I was invited by Owen to come along and visit since the NY organizer asked him to go. If you’re in the area, around 4PM we’ll be meeting at StarBucks. See the meetup page and Owen’s post for a little bit more info. Posted by Robert Deaton Filed in Uncategorized [...]

    Don't forget Scott of plaintxt.org is scheduled to be there as well! It's our own little east coast WP micro nano-con. ;)
