BlogHer Pre-conference Meetups

Portland, OR Area BlogHers

Hello, Portland BlogHers!

As the token extrovert of the Portland contingent to the conference this year I'd like to invite you to two informal gatherings (come to one or both!) to be held in June.

Whether you're headed to Chicago in July, can't make it this year, or aren't sure if BlogHer is for you (Like blogs? Social media? BlogHer is for you!) -- you're invited! Come meet up with other bloggers, and blog readers, to share your strategies for meeting people at the conference, how to pitch your blog, and how to get the most out of your short three days in Chicago.

We'll have two chances to meet up in June. I've selected two cafes, Posies & Sydney's, as they're both kid-friendly, have great food and coffee, and can accommodate small groups.

Saturday,
June 6th

**NOTE TIME CHANGE DUE TO ROSE PARADE**

3 PM - 5 PM

Posies Cafe
8208 N. Denver Avenue
Portland, OR,

Saturday, June 13th,
2 - 4 PM

Sydney

Please RSVP so we know to look for you!

Bummer!

Sadly (?), I'll be in Spain for both of these meetups. Would love to talk to you about volunteering/getting-involved-with SF event you mentioned last Monday tho.

Time Change for June 6th Meetup

Hi, everyone,

I just realized that June 6th is the day of the Grand Floral Parade and I know no one wants to be battling traffic to get to North Portland. So I've changed the time for the *Posies Cafe* meetup to 3 PM - 5 PM. If late afternoon on a Saturday doesn't work for you I can change the time we meet at Syndeys to morning. Since no one has signed up for that time as of yet that will be easy to do.

While I've got your attention, does anyone have any questions about the conference? Anything you've always wanted to know about social media or blogging but were too shy to ask the entire Internet? By the looks of it we're going to have some really helpful people in our gatherings. Post your questions and we'll have a place to start our chats.
