I really hate the term blogger...and writing is what folks with blogs do, so, it's a web writer get-together.
Anyway, the 2005 Apple WorldWide developer conference is the week of June 6, (the 6-10th to be precise). So, if anyone who does this “Writin' on the IntarWeb thang” wants to get together, meet each other and hang out one night, drop a comment here. I'll wait a few days and see what the response is like, then find a place.
Note that I'm not one for organized functions. I'm much more likely to find a nice cozy dive where we can order pizza, be loud, and have fun.
Anyway, comment if you're interested, and we'll go from there.
UPDATE:
There's already one of these going on:

If you can only go to one, go to buzz's, he puts FAR more work into it than I ever will, and should be rewarded.

The Web Writers WWDC Hootenanny.
I'd go to that quicker than any of those pretentious "blogger conventions".

heh...yeah. I don't like talking about writing for writing's sake. I don't like talking about anything like weblogs, or any other kind of software as though the software is inherently cool by just existing.
But hanging out and meeting people I only know as names, or seeing others I don't see so often? That's kinda fun.

I'm all up for more beer. On Monday I'm planning on going to Buzz's Blogger dinner, but let me know what's going on and we can meet up.

Thanks for the pointer to my meetup, and thanks for coming! It should be quite an affair :-).

If it's not the same day as Buzz's (which I've already said I'm attending), count me in.

And here I was wondering what I'd be doing the evenings after Buzz's gettogether. Count me in, I'll be there ;).
