I think this is such a neat idea! Lynn of Turtlehead has been working tirelessly to set up what I think is one of the coolest bloggy events I’ve heard of: Blog Out Loud. She’s invited a bunch of Ottawa bloggers not just to meet and schmooze (or, in my case, blush and toe the carpet), but to read some of their favourite posts out loud.
How cool is that?
And check out this list of participants! There’s Beach Mama and Andrea and Julie and Zoom and XUP, just to name a few. Oh, and me too!
Blog Out Loud will be next Thursday, July 23, at the Raw Sugar Café. If you can make it out, I’d love to see you there! And if you’re feeling really keen, I see that Lynn is looking for a few volunteers to make sure things run smoothly.

I would love to come, is this event in the morning?
Pouting over here. I can’t make it due to out-of-town houseguests. Clap real loud for Nat (From Nat’s Brain) and XUP for me, will ya?
Awww, would have loved to see you Alison. Too bad!
Natasha, it’s in the evening, from 7 pm until 10 pm. (Yikes, past my bedtime. Good thing I’m on vacation next week!) Hope you can make it!
(Ha captcha = kookier income. You mean I stand to make a profit here???)
I’ll be there! I’m so excited.
It’s past my bedtime, too, but I’m off the next week – I can make it through my last day of work sleep deprived, I’m sure.
I wish so much that I can come. Unfortunately Frenchie will be recovering from surgery so I’m on my own with the kids. I hope that there will be a blogging out loud II.
