Yesterday was a big day for firsts. the first "first" was a blog meet. What’s a blog meet? Well it’s when bloggers meet in real life.
As readers of The Peconic Puffin will know, I had lunch with "His Puffiness", Michael Alex yesterday. We had a great time. I suspect we both approached this with trepidation. Would the other guy have two heads? What if we had nothing common and spent an hour talking about the weather? Actually we talked about the weather a bit but an interesting way.
Michael and I found that we had a ton in common. Our lives have followed similar paths. We both started our blogs for the same reasons and at about the same time. The Puffin gets a lot more traffic than mine and Michael works a lot harder on his blog than I do. He is a very smart guy about he builds his community.
I have no doubt that we will be repeating this. And if any of the other NY area bloggers want to have a blog meet, and Joe or TMan happen to be Gotham, lets do a big blog meet. Now how cool/nerdy would that be?
And Tillerman, Bonnie and Joe, I don’t care what Mike says about you, you are alright in my books*

I’ll bet we can get Bonnie to join us if we ask REAL NICE. Otherwise I’m going to look for her at her summer kayak-around-long island event. I once chased a car on the Long Island Expressway because I thought Bonnie’s kayak was on the roof…alas I did not catch the car, and later B3 confirmed that her Romany had not been on the road that day.
I thought “Romany” was the name of her boat.
We’re simple in the head, we windsurfers. Tillerman will boot me off of his Top Ten list as soon as he gets around to it!
We’re getting dissed. It’s all my fault…I should have kept my mouth shut and just talked about the cobb salad (which was excellent). Bonnie’s completely MIA…I think I’m in big blogger trouble!
