Jawja Bloggers Ride Again

Oh, gentle readers, trouble is a brewing for a little hamlet called Helen, Georgia. You see the time has rolled around to lay out plans for the Jawja Blogger Meet Up. This time the inimitable Velociman is laying on the plans for us to rendezvous for the Helen Oktoberfest in the North Georgia Mountains. Oh the tales that will be told and the ones that will be created....

Unfamiliar with the Jawja Bloggers Meet-Up? In a nutshell, it started with Acidman two years ago. He had put out the word of where he was going to be and was surprised by my good blogbrutha Dax. Last year, the crowd multiplied exponentially and boy what kind of fun we had. And Acidman has put out the call.

Now it looks to grow again and if you are anywhere near Helen, Georgia or are willing to make the trip out there, I must insist that you make all efforts to get there. It wil be well worth it.

I can honestly say that friendships were made on that meet-up last year that have lasted. My blog sis- Kelley, Dax who carted me all over the North half of metro Atlanta looking for my clothes and keys. Eric, my Marine friend who has been my reliable guest poster, Key who has been my sounding board on a number of issues and vice versa, Kenny who I later met out drinking in Marietta, and, of course, Denny who helped Kelley and I circle the wagons at the Greater Atlanta Blogger Meet Up. There's many more and I apologize for not naming us all in this entry, but you can look back here for all the folks that were there last year.

And this is overwhelmingly important to add--you don't have to blog or be a blogger to come. Readers and commenters are not only welcome but encouraged to attend. I won't promise you'll get a word in edgewise, but in all truthfulness we like to hear what you have to say often more than what we are spouting off about.

So make your plans now: Helen, GA, October 15 and 16.

(Now I have to go check airfares to Atlanta or somewhere halfway close. Who wants to pick me up at the airport?)

UPDATE: More discussion at Eric's and Dax's.

Ooooo! That is usually around the time we try to go up to the mountains and it is near my birthday! So maybe we'll check it out! :)

HunB--Come on out! It's Eric's B-day on the 14th too.

Adam, I'll commit here and now to picking you up at the airport. No worries, man! If you need to fly in the night before, you can stay at the blighted house and ride up with me. I think Key and I *might* be rooming it; I've asked her, anyway, and I hope she'll be my date! :)

Woot! I am so glad you are coming! It wouldn't be the same without you.

Heh. The blog-siblings rolling in the A-T-L again. Gov. Perdue better raise the threat level to orange and call out the National Guard!
