What does it take to get bloggers to come out from behind their computer screens and meet one another?

We’re tried offering free beer. We’ve tried hiring a live, kick-ass band. We’ve tried drunken bowling. We’ve tried hosting a yummy pot-luck dinner.

But each time, only a handful of the same people, who also happen to blog, come out. What’s it going to take? Scrutiny Hooligans once again is suggesting a happy get-together. Here’s his thought:

It’s going to happen. A celebration of all thing blogging and all things Asheville. Awards, prizes, music, surprises, and the sparkling bloggerati.

The is the date flotation post. How’s June 16th for everyone?

Once we decide on a date, we’ll do the whole nominating thing. I’m thinking of holding it at the Asheville Brewing Company unless someone wants to volunteer their home (Edgy Mama is still getting the stains out of her upholstery from last year’s…”

So c’mon, people. Don’t make us pound on every blog door until you come out. Ditch the computer, grab a few dollars and come out and meet up. Whaddya think?

Think I can make that one.
Do these things happen at a standard blogging time (say 1:30 a.m.) or at real world time (say 1:30 p.m.)?

And rather than nekkid girls or nekkid boys, how bout the nekkid truth?

The Captain and I will be camping that night. Have a drink or four for us, and we’ll do the same!
