Asheville Blogapaloozathon Awards

The Good:

  • Meeting bloggers that I have only talked to online.
  • Meeting Anne from Edgy Mama in person.
  • Throwing the Chinese Wishing Paper into the fire.
  • Meeting Gordon and Ashe.
  • Presenting the award for “Blogger you would most like to see naked.”
  • Having a personal photographer. Made me look cool.
  • Seeing Matt Mulder again and talking productivity, blogging, and Tumblr.

The Bad:

  • Having to stare really hard at people’s chests to read their nametags. This became quite awkward in groups of women. (So I’m only half-complaining ;-) )
  • Feeling bad because I hadn’t heard of someone’s blog – even though it was on the BlogAsheville Blogroll.
  • The beer from Bruisin’ Ales – but I’m beating a dead horse there.

The Ugly:

Not much.

I had meant to write a brief review sooner but was unable to get it done. I also was waiting on some pictures. I didn’t get many, but I’ll post a few from some other bloggers who attended. Full sized ones are available at Flickr.

I left inspired to make my mark in ‘08! Look out Asheville!
