I arrived late but had a great time. Always nice to meet new folks and catch up with others. And the price was right! Thanks Jessie & Shaun!

What a lovely party! I found it one of the best to date. Thanks to all the 'old' and 'new' people who attended. And, would you be so kind to help me find next month's host (blogger or twitterer). Any volunteers? No cost involved ... Just pick a place in Hoco that has a nice bar area, and then help me promote it to your network and the other bloggers.

Shaun Wilson, of the newly launched and easily named Shaun B Wilson, Pomp and Circumstance blog, and his brother, Kevin, will be the hosts of our next HocoBlogs BlogTail party.

A friend of Shaun's is one of the managers at Applebee's and has promised our party guests half-price appetizers and $1 drafts. So come on down. Join us, as we embrace the chain restaurant encroachment that has become so much an integrated part of the landscape of our community. ;-)

I met Shaun first through Twitter. Then one day I had an emergency need for some specific information about government contracts. Shaun and his brother came to my rescue, and we've been friends since. If you've come to a few of our parties, you may find their faces familiar.

The party is right around the corner: next Thursday, 11/20, and I'm hoping you can make it. Bring some friends if you'd like. I know that most normal folk have lots of friends ... many of whom are spread out over a large region, or even the globe. These parties are great way to connect locally. And speaking of connecting locally, if you tweet, use the hashtag #hocoparty for tweets related to this -- and future -- HocoBlogs BlogTail parties.

And in case you haven't been to the Applebee's off Rts. 175 and 108, please note that it's in the restaurant park across the road from where the new Best Buy and Lowe's stores are.

Unfamiliar with Twitter? Check out the video above.

Thanks for the invite. I have taken on a new job at Tai Sophia - Associate VP for Advancement, and I'm in transition for the next week. Not much time for anything else. I hope I have a raincheck.

whoops...hit 'RSVP' too soon. I probably can't make it, as I have a 2545 meeting, followed by a HCC Alumni meeting, followed by an event where I'm rep-ing the CEx that night. I really do want to come to one of these again, though, even if I can't really consider myself a blogger.

Crap. You know I do my best to make all of these, but I may have to miss it this month...I will know more later this week....

I've been pining for a blogtail party and was really bummed I couldn't make the cheap wine party (software release kept me here until 8 pm on Friday). I will do everything in my power to be there!

Looking forward to seeing y'all. If you can't make it, or are undecided, be so kind as to just click the 'No' or 'Maybe' button on the invite. I'll still love ya and invite you to more parties. Heck, I'll be MORE inclined to invite you if you acknowledge that you received the invitation. ;-)
