Like an old-fashioned Chicago “Bosses meeting” bloggers in Polk County met tonight to divide the county.
Seriously, we met together to chat about the wonders that is living and working in Polk County. We spoke a bit about the technical aspect of blogging, a bit about media in the blogging arena, and a bit about coffee.
In attendance were Vivian (Mama Need Java), Billy (Polk County News Blog), Barry (The Ledger Online), and Josh (Empirical Polk). I was there to provide an audience.
No, seriously, I was there to take photographs. Without a flash. In low light.
We didn’t have an agenda. It was five people who read each other’s blogs getting together to meet face-to-face. We had a nice time gabbing for about 2.5 hours. Vivian has a good entry on her blog about the get together.
We didn’t schedule the next get-together, but if we set another meeting you’ll read about it here.
Photo IDS: Josh, Barry, Barry Billy, Billy, Vivian — Can you figure out who is who? All the clues you need are in the photos.)
Bio: The short line? Father, husband, writer. My online presence is primarily through as the editor, writer, and occasional photographer for the news sites, Lakeland Local, a sampling of the news, concerns, and events for Lakeland, Florida, and Metro i4 News, which covers the Interstate 4 corridor in Central Florida. Both sites feature the work of myself and other contributors. As a hobby, I manage a forum and some web sites that feature a pulp fiction series written by Lester Dent -- Doc Savage Organized, Doc Savage Info, and Flearun.

Did I mention I flinch when some one takes photos unexpectedly. I demand a photo of you in here too. Maybe in your sixties gear?

Unexpectedly? Josh took a photo first and who could miss my big camera?
But fair enough

Winter Haven? Is that in Polk County? Can you give me directions?
Seriously, Winter Haven sounds good. Where in town?
