Wow.  What an awesome and totally relevant to what I’m “into” kind of a conference.  Man,  I even had a friend who went to Chicago to some Religious Bookseller’s convention.  I am constantly amazed at how much is going on “out there”,  and how,  despite my subscribing to so many feeds from so many writers and presenters on Social Software kinds of things,  that I miss something like this.

On the other hand,  I got no job and no money,  so this would be a tease and a frustration to me anyway.  Except,  I get to “be there” via the Bloggers,  which makes me all the more anxious to get to a place where I can get me some “Live Blogging-enabling equipment” and get over to some big events in the Church community and show ’em what can be done. 

So here’s a case where I am SO anxious to get a job with someone who is sincerely interested in doing something about integrating Weblogs as a serious platform for serious communications.  The CBF, the UNited Methodists, a nd the American Baptists are ALL having big events (and the first two are rather close together,  in Ashville on June 24-26,  and in Richmond the very next day, June 27-29) .  There’s also 3 groups or organizations I would LOVE to pay a visit:  Sojourners (D.C.) ,  Church of the Saviour (also in D.C.,  actually right down the street from each other in Adams Morgan),  and the Virginia Baptist Mission Board (also in Richmond).
