Fun times at Pure Wine Cafe

Thanks to all those who showed up at tonight’s HoCo Blogtail meetup at [Pure Wine Café][Pure Wi]. Blogs represented included [Annethologie][Annetho] (more active recently as [@Annathema][Annath] on Twitter), [ChrisBachmann.com][ChrisBa], [Columbia Compass][Columbi], [Do I Amuse You][Do I Am], [HoCo Rising][HoCo Ri], [Hometown Columbia][Hometow], and [Patapsco Holler][Patapsc]. We had some fun conversations about Howard County politics and related issues, though I have to say I’m a bit leery of going down that particular rabbit hole. To be high-minded, I’d prefer to maintain a [beginner’s mind][beginne] as much as possible. To be low-minded, ignorance makes it easier and more fun to blog since I can put forward semi-informed opinions and don’t have to worry about the nuance inherent in the real world. Finally, I wanted to note the hospitality shown us by PJ Strain and the staff of Pure Wine Café. PJ in particular went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. I hope we get the HoCo Blogtail meetups back on a regular schedule, and get back to Pure Wine Café sometime in the next few months.

Thanks again for being such a great co-host, Frank. Mike Morucci - 2010-06-05 14:14{#0e455e5f-003} Hi Frank! Thanks so much for cohosting this great event. I'm with you - politics is interesting but I shy away. It's not my passion. Always a wonderful group and I learn new things about different folks each time. I also love the way we try to support local businesses, just like local bloggers. Kudos! ~Mike
