A reminder about the blogger dinners - if you’d like to come to either of them, please let us know so we can include you in the reservations. Eliza sent an e-mail to those people she’s made reservations for already over the weekend: this e-mail includes details of where and when the dinners will be. If you had asked us to make you a reservation but you didn’t get the e-mail, let us know.
We’re going to have tables designated for bloggers in the lunchroom both days. You needn’t sit at them if you don’t want to, but we thought this might help bloggers who do want to eat lunch together find each other. If you want a box lunch provided by Off The Map, please reserve one today or tomorrow.
We’re going to add a forum to the discussion board this week specifically for sharing comments and feedback about the conference.
I’m excited about the Almost an Atheist workshop. I’m working hard on what I’m going to say; my goal is that it will be both fun and thought-provoking. If you’re a regular blog reader and are wondering whether I’ll be saying anything you haven’t read here already here’s the answer: I definitely will be saying a number of things I’ve never shared here - I know that since I only thought of them in the last few days ;-).
I’m also working on the Off The Map Blog Network workshop. I’ll be sharing that one with Peter and Bruce and I’m hoping it also will be fun as well as informative.

I will not be at the conference or at the dinners, but I think they are a great idea. Good luck with your workshops. Regardless of how you will end up evaluating what you will have done, I’m confident your words will be beneficial for many in attendance. Enjoy it.

I think Jim said everything is going to be taped, too.

I’m excited about meeting the bloggers who shall be there - I bet none of you look anything like the way I’ve imagined you!!!!!!!!
