Good time yesterday at Second Chance Saloon for the most recent regularly-scheduled blog party! I'd like to thank Julia McCready, author of Village Green/Town Squared (what gives with the double title, anyway?) and Sarah Husain of Sarah Says for co-hosting a wonderful event.
Robot roll call (at least a partial one) of luminaries and not-so-luminaries at the event: Anne Gonnella (Annethologie), Lisa Schlossnagle (LisaBMMrsS), Bill Santos (aka Columbia Compass Guy), Dennis Lane (Tale of Two Cities), Lisa Rossi of Da Columbia Patch, and the indomitable, unsinkable Jessie. Also, Councilmember Courtney Watson, League of Women Voters co-President Alice Giles, and alleged to have attended but only glimpsed (or, in one case, odor detected) by myself: James Howard, Mickey Gomez, and the Artist Formerly Known as Howard County Hayduke.
I know there are people I forgot to mention. Sorry!
I'd also like to extend a shout-out and official howdy-do to Melissa and Tim, the very pleasant couple from Hickory Ridge who actually read AND like this blog(!), Alice and George, fellow JHU alumni; and two relatively new bloggers to the scene. Nicole McFarland is the author of HoCo Loco, and the author of AnnieRie Unplugged. What do I like most about these blogs? Pictures!!! Welcome to the Terrordome...errr..... blogoverse.
It was a great time at the blog party-- not enough time spent with some people, as always it seems, but always, good conversation. 2012 is truly showing to be one funky year in Howard F'ing County.
I'm hoping that Marshmallow Man enjoyed some good convo with Ginger Breadgirl...

It was well attended and a good choice of location for the party. Thanks for the welcome.
Forgot to take pics, but managed to talk with lots of bloggers and readers.
The HoCo bloggers are one sociable group, and the parties are a great way to meet each other.

Thanks for the link! It was great to meet the man behind the mask, although I didn't get an autograph or a photo. Maybe next time!
