When: Sat. May 10, 2008 7:00 PM
The next Blogfest is this weekend at VS a new business downtown. Meet other bloggers face to face and play video games! They have 2 Wiis, 2 xboxes, and 2 playstation 3s as well as Rockband and many many games for each system. There are 5 iMacs and wifi so you can blog. Downstairs is a congregating area away from the games with a stage which can feature live performances. Games are free to bloggers from 7pm to 9pm Saturday, May 10. VS is located just two doors down from the old Harold's. See you there!
As a side note, the wifi is free ALL the time so if you are ever downtown, needing a connection and a comfortable place to sit, slip into VS!

Oh no! I forgot about the audio or I would have given the standard "that's a myspace page" warning.
I think its simply a marketing move trying to gel with a certain age group of gamers. (Or it could be a horrid misunderstanding of how to market a business on the Internet)

Maybe Blogfest is the wrong word? Our blogfests have been meetups, opportunities to see the faces behind the words. The first ones were very interesting because many people showed up with different interests and different view points but everyone got along and had many laughs. During the blogfest her politics didn't get in the way of his politics and so forth.
Now, if you want to grow them into something bigger with a stage, hundreds of people, presenters, door prizes, and workshops, I'm in! But I still think there's a lot to be said for just getting together and having a few laughs in person. Rich has been the driving force behind the Knoxville Blogfests.

I miss having Randy, Glenn and Helen show up at the Blogfests. Since this one is downtown and not way out west, will there be different attendees? More? Less?
Does it mean I'm a really old fart if I think the audio at the link is eXtreEm nOiZe?

It won't be that loud in the building.
Wait, when was there a Blogfest before this one?
