Thanks to social director Rich Haily for organizing tonight's blogger meetup. West Knox is apparently popular, because there was pretty good turnout including blogspouses and kids. Nice to see everyone and meet some new folks, too.
Glenn Reynolds has the official blogroll of attendees. It also was a pleasure to meet frequent KnoxViews commenter MPower1952, who was celebrating her birthday and was accompanied by her son.
UPDATE: Barry has the Top Ten Surprises.

Dang, I knew I should've skipped out and not encouraged that.
Dang, I completely forgot
Dang, I completely forgot about Blogfest. Hope you guys had fun.
Someday . . .
I make it to one of these events.

I'd rather be cycling.
Great event!
Come Spring we will have to find a large grill and have one of these at a lake or park. Kudos to Rich for setting this up and to all that showed for making it great!
Wish I Could Have Been
Sounds like a great time was had by all. I wish I could have made it but I already had 2 birthday parties for the evening. I plan on attending next year. (??)
