It's Time!

It's time for a BlogFest for East Tennessee. Let's get together and see who's behind the pixels. Come out and meet your fellow bloggers. Commentors welcome. Bring husbands, wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, significant others, whoever you want! Let me know if you're coming, and how many you're bringing so I can let Barley's know ahead of time. Either leave a comment or email me (Rhailey931@yahoo.com)

Howdy Ya'll

I'm a former teacher turned PhD. candidate [ & die-hard Tennessean ] at UT. I've just launched a blog as both a medium for my research in social theory and a teaching tool that will feature posts from local academic types and activists on current issues through an education lens.

I just came over here to KnoxViews to see what was going on in the local blog scence when I came across this post about a 'bloggerfest'. I'm excited to see such an active community is alive and well here in the Valley! If I can get out of my plans, I'll drop by Barley's tonight. Where can I find you guys?

I knew you saw all. And I want a nice, cold IPA for Christmas.

Katie and I are planning on attending, assuming babysitting remains a go.

Like Santa....

I see all!*grin*

I'm everywhere!

So far it looks like about 15-20 people are coming, so it looks like the Old City is in for blogging blowout! (I adore alliteration!)

I'm looking forward to meeting everybody, and hoping to reconnect with some old familiar faces.

I'm hoping to go, but it's looking unlikely. Maybe I'll be able to stop by later on in the evening, but it's going to be a busy weekend.
