After emailing back-n-forth with Kathleen Connally of A Walk Through Durham Township, Pennsylvania I wanted to put out the early word to one & all here at Photoblogs.org that a meet-up of photoblog'ers will take place here in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Saturday, April 23, 2005.
If it turns out that I am the only one who gets to meet Kathleen that weekend and tip back a few tasty adult beverages and shoot a few frames then so be it, but I wanted to let any/everyone know you are more than welcome here in the Golden Triangle, Pittsburgh, PA, and it would be a pleasure to meet anyone associated with photoblogs.org on the 23rd of April.
I know 4/23/05 is a few months away, but better late than never when it comes to planning...Pittsburgh is not that far from quite a few cities here in the North East of the U.S., tons of hotels (cheap) to stay at, shoot, if anyone is hard pressed for $ I'd open up the door to my small 3rd floor apartment for anyone who needs a place to stay...regardless of where you stay Pittsburgh is here waiting for any photoblog'er who would like to make the trip and spend a couple days meeting those people associated with photoblogs.org, having a few (ok, quite a few probably) drinks out on the town and possibly spend some time shooting in one of the most photogenic cities in the world, Pittsburgh.
I'll post this message a few more times between now and 4/23/05 to keep you posted, but if you are interested and need info on where to stay, how to get here, etc. do not hesitate shooting me an email at btezra@gmail.com - until then, all the best!
p.s. - if you make the trek to Pittsburgh your first Primanti Brothers sammich is on me!

Sounds interesting. That's a long haul for a one-day meeting. Maybe it can be expanded a little to make it worth the six-hour (one-way) drive. And if anyone else from the Philly area is thinking about it, maybe we could car-pool. Just an idea.

Makes me wish I lived closer. Among photobloggers, Kathleen is my hero.
(and I like adult beverages)

Darn! I just moved back to Baltimore from Pittsburgh... Good thing my boyfriend still lives there
I'll see what I can do...

Wow, btezra and Kathleen... man I wish I lived anywhere near there. It would be so cool to meet you both. Can't wait to see different interpretations of the same spots as you guys walk around snapping pics. Please enjoy an adult beverage on my behalf.

If it were only 16 hours I'd be so there.

Hmm sounds fun. Will see if I can make it. Am in Detroit at moment, but shoot a lot around Titusville, PA my hometown.
Hope you don't mind a Michigander crashing the event.

Sounds like a fun get together. Too bad I am a student in Center City Philadelphia. I hope one day there is a meet here in Philadelphia. I think it would be a lot of fun.
P.S. Your scheduled meet is a day b4 my birthday.
