01/19/2006 Archived Entry: "January Seattle Weblog Meetup Report"

We had a good turnout at last night's weblog meetup, with some new faces and some friends we hadn't seen for too long. Jack had the idea of bringing a cake for Ben Franklin's 300th birthday (which happened the day before) and most of it got eaten. Our grandson R----- had fun and played nicely (mostly) with B. Soroos, the other toddler in attendance. People were still hanging out and talking when we left around nine! Those present:

• Don Smith, business editor of the Seattle PI, doesn't have a blog of his own yet but is leading the paper's effort to do something with blogs, beyond the blogs they already have. He wisely spent the meetup talking with most every blogger present, so I think he has a good sampling of the Seattle blog zeitgeist now.
• Don Sanderson is working on a blog about business promotions. He gave out tide table booklets.
• Matt May
• Jeanniecool doesn't like this blog to be linked to, so we may have to create a fansite for her.
• Josh of Metroblog Seattle
• Peter Leonard, also of Metroblog Seattle
• Jonathan Speights was new. He also blogs on his professional site.
• Toby Padilla was new. He's CEO of Musicmobs.
• Jason Truesdell
• Hiromi Mamiya writes mostly in Japanese.
• Mikey Cofer of North Shore Shirts
• John Poetzel of Mosaic Tile Arts
• Eric Soroos, Rose Soroos, and Ben
• Dylan Wilbanks
• Ken Brush is a denizen of #joiito, visiting from Portland
• Manuel
• Jeff of Beans for Breakfast and Using Books
• Clark Humphrey of MISCmedia
• Phil
• Jack William Bell of Antigravitas (his report)
• and me!

I think it would be remiss to have a plug for the businesses that make it possible for Mikey and I to eat; www.mosaictilearts.com and www.northshoreshirts.com

We love cheese!
