Hey Y’all!
We are so excited that Carolina Blogging is getting under way! Ever since returning from a DC blogger’s conference this past June, we’ve been running into bloggers at every turn. That’s when it became clear that we just had to host a get-together. So, away we go!
The Luncheon - Concept
A full-fledge blogger conference is coming in March 2011. But we just couldn’t wait until then to get together and talk shop. That’s when The Luncheon began to take shape! For The Luncheon, 25 bloggers from all over South Carolina will convene it Columbia to eat, drink, be merry… and blog! So bring your laptops, iPads, iPhones, BlackBerrys and let’s have some fun!
Location, Date, Time
Carolina Blogging – The Luncheon is scheduled for October 23, 2010 from 10:30 a.m. to 2 pm. It will be held at Columbia’s premier restaurant, Blue Marlin. It is through the generosity of Brian and Bill Dukes that we can enjoy the absolute best southern and Low Country cuisine that Columbia has to offer! Furthermore, Blue Marlin is located in the heart of the Vista; the capital place to be! So after we’ve done all that we can do, there are many other restaurants, boutiques, and unique shops to peruse.
Sponsors
In addition to the Blue Marlin, we are in the talks with other sponsors. That way, we get to have a lot of fun, and not pay anything! Boy, the blogging life is good! If you would like to sponsor the event or know someone who would, don’t hesitate to call us! 803-348-5847.
Accommodations
If you are coming from out of town, come Friday night and make a weekend of it! We are making arrangements with the Vista Hilton so that you can enjoy a night of luxury, right in the middle of it all. Also, we will have plenty of wonderful things for you to do on Friday evening, if you want. So, feel free to bring a guest. They can enjoy the day in the Vista while you attend the Luncheon.
Tweet Up
To accommodate many requests from local bloggers to participate in this fun event, we are hosting a bloggers tweet up on Friday evening, October 22. We are working to secure the location. But be prepared to come on down to the Vista and let’s do what we do best… make some virtual noise.
Ok… that’s it for now! Get your RSVP back to us ASAP and let’s talk about Carolina Blogging.
