How does one blog a blogging conference? However you feel like doing it! It’s Friday, time for Moose Camp at Northern Voice 2008 and I am convinced every conference should launch with a tiki bar party. So the Waldorf Hotel was packed with bloggers of all varieties.
Got to hang out with Jim Groom, Chris Lott (first time meeting) Jennifer Jones (ditto), Brian Lamb, D’Arcy Norman, Scott Leslie, of which I should link to their blogs but am feeling lazy.
It was a great time, am a bit too tired to try and recant the evening… so instead I am trying a new approach (as suggested by Nick Noakes) to attempt Voice Thread blogging the conference. We’ll see how that goes, but be sure to liberally comment.
A fun highlight was the open mike where bloggers who had signed up on the wiki shared/read a wide range of blog posts, poetry etc they had chosen to share. I volunteered my Northern Voice story of 2008 involving the series of events following Nancy White’s presentation. But I tell ya, I was topped by Scott Leslie‘s poem, which I grabbed a recording of on my camera as video (waiting permission to share).
Bring on the moose!
You and Scott both did great!

I didn’t succeed at this after all! Oh well, VoiceThreading still looks fun. As does NV – wish I were there!
