Sheepshead Bites Grows Feathers & Flies the Bay Coop…


by on Apr 28th, 2009

…for the powerhouse of blog meetings at the powerHouse Arena in Dumbo, Brooklyn.

I’ll be at the coop called Place Blogs nesting with the rest of the Blogs-of-a-Feather where you can also meet bloggers of the following subjects: Social Activist; Food & Home; Historic; Political; Photo; Popular Culture & Comedy; and, Parenting.

If you’re interested in learning more about this exciting world we call blogging, you will have a great time at the 2009 Brooklyn Blogfest on Thursday, May 7, 2009.

Last year at the 2008 Brooklyn Blogfest, Ned was inspired to start Sheepshead Bites. This year, you will be inspired to start your own exciting online world.

This event is well-planned, with a casual, educational side and a fun, social side. The buzz is that there is also a wild, midnight-hour party not-really-planned for after the official events.

The powerHouse arena, with it’s 24-foot ceilings and 5,000 square feet of virtual world bloggers mingling in the real world, will be the venue for the educational portion, but then the whole crowd of creative geniuses will cross the street for the nutritional side of things.

At the Galapagos Art Space and after the main event, there will be free, real (not virtual) food and a cash bar (hint, bring cash and ID), with time to mingle and meet all these cool bloggers. They’re not just people, they’re bloggers.

It only costs $10 to enter and you can pay ahead to facilitate registration — which would be a good idea based on the number of people who attended last year.

Here is the information:

    This is one event I’m sorry I missed. I’m inspired just reading Sheepshead Bites, I can’t imagine how great it would have been to attend this BlogFest and learn how it all comes together for the writers. The fact that the 2008 BlogFest gave birth to this very site is inspiring and well worth the ticket price (although I would need an airline ticket too and can’t afford it.) The fact that Sheepshead Bites is participating this year shows that they are willing to “give back to the community” by sharing their insight. Props to my homies.

    Bigups to you, too. And keep the comments comin’. As soon as you get that airline ticket, you can chill with the peeps back in the old hood — everything’s so off the chain over here with your homies, you won’t want to leave!
