Question: Have you met any bookish/blogging friends in person?
Answer: Yes! I've been lucky enough to be able to attend several book cons and meet dozens of my blogger friends in person. Most were just a quick hi - so that's what you look like lol but I have remained good friends with several people.
I've mentioned my weekly virtual movie date and that's with a blogger I met at BEA. I've only really met her twice & just waiting in lines but we've remained good friends for years now.
There are several more, that mostly have quit blogging, but we still stay in touch even though I don't see anyone now that I've moved out West. There aren't a lot of book conferences anymore either.
Have you ever met any bookish/blogging friends in real life?
I have not.
ReplyDeleteI never would have without the conferences.
DeleteI met a few that are no longer blogging, and I remember seeing Shannon with Misha at BEA in Chicago where I did talk to some bloggers I followed but they don't blog any more. You see a theme here?
ReplyDeleteI never went to the Chicago BEA. Just NYC, and ALA in Orlando, NOLA.
DeleteIt's really sad how many have left but good we stay in touch. I think only Jen R is still blogging of the people I met.

ReplyDeleteThat's neat! I suppose waiting lines were a great chance to make friends or meet your virtual ones. It's sad that so many people seem to have vanished, at least in terms of blogging. Please don't do that LOL.
Some of those lines were long - up to an hour wait, so you do get to know a person lol
DeleteI don't want to curse myself but I do seem to have hit a blogging stride again. Not ALL IN like before but I'm here.
My hope is to visit you someday! I haven't been to the PNW since my kids were very young, so I need to get back!
ReplyDeleteI would love that!!
DeleteOh all those who stopped blogging, sadness. But yay that you made a good friend
ReplyDeleteWe have stood the test of time and not blogging lol
