CaliEduBloggerCon

Months ago I proposed a social gathering of California education bloggers. I even named this star-studded event. The problem is that I haven't followed up at all.

So Polski3, EdWonks, Joanne, Coach Brown, Chris at Miller's Time, Chanman at Buckhorn Road, Lillian--are any of you up for this? I'd like to propose Monterey or Santa Cruz for such a meeting, especially since a few of us have children. How's July sound, right after the NEA Rep Assembly?

Let's coordinate using the comments =)

Monterey or Santa Cruz work for me. Or, if the San Jose area works for people, I could volunteer my house, which has a swimming pool. When in July is the NEA Assembly? I'm getting married July 29, so the end of the month is out.

Ooooooh, I thought the wedding was June....

Anyway, the Rep Assembly is usually July 1-5, always encompassing Independence Day for some reason.

So, we have one vote and an offer of a house with pool! Do I hear another offer?

San Jose is good for me. Ukiah to San Francisco is about 2 hours and traffic dictates the rest. However, I know Pols and Wonks are deep SoCal'lers (we won't hold it against them) so I understand the farther south destination.

Count me in!

It sounds like a GREAT idea. But, as for me (us), we haven't yet made any plans/decisions as to what we will be doing this summer.
Don't count me in yet, but I am not saying no either. Will microsoft underwrite our travel expenses for this? (ha ha....just joking....)

Is there a schedule of events for this First Congress of California Education Bloggers?

Here's the schedule:

1. Eat
2. Drink
3. Be Merry

Did I miss anything?

Boy would I like to go; a gathering at Joanne Jacobs' home sounds fantastic.

But for us, it's problematic. We're planning on leaving for the Blue Ridge Mountains of South Carolina on June 17th...

EdWonk, have a laptop with a cam? You can make an appearance via Netmeeting or Yahoo Messenger!

So far we have Joanne, Coach Brown, Polski, Lillian, and I all as possible attendees. The Wonks are out, and I haven't yet heard from Miller's Time or Buckhorn Road.
