Since Cory is punking out, it’s become MY responsibility to get the word out about the next Blogger Bash, set to begin at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 30, at Richard’s On Main, 311 Main Street in downtown Peoria.
A map can be viewed here.
The following people are especially invited:

All Peoria bloggers.
All commenters on Peoria blogs.
Any Illinois [...]

I met Londi Benson for lunch today at the One World Cafe. She’s the blogger and Twitter user whose post got everyone all riled up.
Topics included:
Freedom of the press in Russia (there isn’t any), freedom of the press in America (before blogging, it belonged to publishers), her two would-be movie-mogul daughters (more on THEM later), [...]

Please direct all Blogger Bash inquiries, suggestions, insults, etc to Cory. He has assumed responsibility for planning the next bash, which is set for the fifth Tuesday in September.
I promise that I will keep my complaints to myself. And no excuses about not being able to find a babysitter.

I’m not even going to try to name all the bloggers and others who attended. Lot of conversation. Lots of hugging. Lots of liquid refreshment. And the Cubs won 7-1 over the Brewers.
We even talked some shop.
Look for photos on some of the blogs. I’ll link to ‘em when the photos get posted.

July 29 is the fifth Tuesday of the month, so that means it’s time for Blogger Bash. It will start roughly at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Recovery Room, 802 W. Pioneer Parkway in Peoria. It’s the scene of the first, unofficial mini Blogger Bash, held many years ago.
Everyone is invited.
