Blogfest ‘09: What a wonderful afternoon on Saturday, as we were able to meet “face to face” with many of our fellow bloggers and members of the HBO Family. Capital F in family…. we are a wild and crazy and unique bunch. Maybe bloggers in general are such, but I think this group in particular is especially talented, opinionated, and expressive. The individual blogs that are wired to HBO are in themselves entertaining and thought provoking, but then as we are stirred together in the communal soup, the entertainment (and sometimes the fur that flies) multiplies exponentially. This is a very powerful group of people/JanTri, Brand X Ranch. More here.
