An idea
Every other region has blog meets. Why not the South/Southeast?
Too spread out, or what? Not enough bloggers in the area? (Heck, it seems like if you threw a rock in Indiana or the Midwest, you’d hit a gun blogger…)

Hell, we had one in June,
where the hell were you?
Seriously- When JayG was on Vacation in June with the family in Orlando we arranged a little shinding-
RobbA, McThag, Yours Truly and a few other were on hand to imbibe and tell lies…
I’m all for another- depending on my schedule…
Lake City would be good-
We can hit the range in Osceola NF, and find a good BBQ place or cook up our own at the range.

Cool. It might be April or May before I’m free, though.
Edit: June? I wasn’t even blogging in June! (chuckle)

Florida is too darn vertical. And last I heard they won’t let us South Floridians go past Lake Okeechobee without a passport, a visa and a return ticket.
And TBG’s post made me realize I don’t know there is a list of Florida Bloggers!

There needs to be a list. Also, regarding the passport: yes. South Florida is to the South what Gitmo is to Cuba– an enclave of an unwanted influence. YANKEE GO HOME! (chuckle)

There really isn’t a list, but here’s a few…

McThag

Greg and Beth

Now, Robb, Greg and McThag are all in the Tampa/West Coast area…
I’m up in Jacksonville, when I’m not traveling…
(Which is relatively often. f’rinstance – I’m in Vancouver until March 3rd…)
Miguel- One assumes from your site/comment that you are in Miami/Dade and Dixie is in the Panhandle (poor bastard).
In any case-
Lake City was a good medium between Tampa – Jax – Pensacola, but adding Miami into the mix drags the common point to the south a bit…
Orlando once again comes into play.
Then we also have to think about the actual event-
Lake City was a good option due to the (free) outdoor range and BBQ potential, but a little scarce on the Hotel/Motel front.
There may be a similar opportunity/location in Orlando or in the Tampa area… But I’d have to let one of the Gulf Coasters discuss the options.
In any case- Don’t let the idea wither on the vine…

Lots of us Florida bloggers. Robb Allen and I have often mused about a southern region blog meetup, but the it seems we’re all pretty well spread out. I’m game though. Gimme a shout if you wanna try and put something together.

I won’t. Already looking at it.
