Wild Card/Saturday — 2/21/09

Upon the advice of my consultants -- JeanieSpokane & CindyH -- I've decided to set the hours for Blogfest '09 next Saturday from noon until 3 p.m. at MoonDollars in Post Falls. Two hours have been too short in the past. Anything more than 3 might be too long, if a Merry Huckster or two bends the elbow too much at the bar. At this point, it looks like Jeanie, Cindy & their "awards" committee will take the podium (if there is one) to hand out the hardware for the various awards that they're conjuring for the occasion. Dunno if you want to win one or not. But it'll be worth finding out what the awards are. Basically, blogfest is a nonstructured occasion to enable you to meet the other bloggers, commenters and even blurkers who inhabit the HBO blogosphere. Even in the current recessionary times, the SR will pick up the tab for the pizza and pop. You have to pay for anything beyond that. Now, I'll play the Wild Card and continue my R 'n R from my "procedure" Friday afternoon ...
