More encounters with Conservative bloggers
This morning as I was walking through downtown St. Paul on the way to meet a blog reader (that’s he on the left, me on the right), I ran into blogger Ed Driscoll who asked if I were going to Ed Morrissey’s blogger luncheon. I told him I hadn’t heard about it. He invited me to join them — and to bring my friend along.
I met the reader and off we went, he, delighted to be in the company of so many bloggers whose posts he read on a daily basis.
Once again, I was impressed with the welcome I found among this gaggle of conservative web-pundits. It struck me yet again, as it did last night, how diverse was this group, geographically, ethnically, spiritually and most importantly stylistically. We conservatives are hardly monolithic.
I continue to introduce myself as a blogger at GayPatriot and continue to meet people aware of — and fans — of this web-site.

Hey, that’s me!
It was awesome to finally meet you in person (and also get free lunch with a lot of people I read everyday but didn’t think I’d ever meet). Everyone else out there should know that Dan is as nice and fun in person as you can imagine.

I’ll have to take your word on it. He refuses to swing through Florida on his way to Cinci. Not feeling the love down here.

I think you’d be surprised at how many people read your blog - it’s well written and intelligent.

I’m trying to decide which of you is the cuter blogger.
Just kidding.
Rob, don’t feel bad. We don’t get the love here in Texas either.
Regards,

Green with envy here (I guess that makes me a liberal).
A lot of interesting people… if you get to meet the G-man (Jonah), I’ll turn a darker shade of green.
