An Evening with Mr. Roboto

Last night we had our second blogger gathering here in Nashville. As you saw below, the event was organized by Thursday Night Fever while being sponsored (in the form of appetizers) by News 2.

Jackson's will never be the same.

There were several faces there that weren't at the last blogger gathering including Busy Mom, the Saucy Librarian, Brittney from Sparkwood & 21, and Kevin from Homeless Guy (and now also This.Is.Nashville). Perhaps gatherings in the evenings are more conducive to socializing. That...and a few other things.

It was a good turnout.

Media-collaborativeness in action.

I did have to leave the event for a little bit, but I came back around 8:30pm to find people still gathered around. I also ran into a friend of mine, Julie, who I found out was a co-blogger (even though she hasn't actually blogged yet) at a new blog called "She Said What?!?" I believe it's sort of a female version of TNF. Mr. Roboto and myself spent the rest of the evening at Jacksons discussing important topics with the two ladies from SSW...such as Rumpelstiltskin (I don't know), Briar Rabbit (no clue), Short Circuit (in reference to this), and all things nightlife. I also offered my help in getting their own domain name along with some consultation on running a professional blog. Captain T was sure to capture this moment on his camera, and TNF should hopefully have that picture up soon.

Was the night over at this point? No, my friend...not when you're with TNF. We then headed over to Lonnies western karayoke bar, and then over to Bar23. Both places were crowded, but the male to female ratio wasn't playing in our favor. However, despite this setback, a good time was had by all.

Overall it was a good night. We should try to have more of these blogger gatherings. I guess the next one will be held by the guys from Pith in the Wind (the Scene's blog)...although I'm not apprised to all the details as of yet.

Round-up of "An Evening with Mr. Roboto" coverage:

-Terry Heaton: The coming out party of Mr. Roboto

-Busy Mom: Domo Arigato

-Homeless Guy: Success

-Pink Kitty shows kindness to Mr. Roboto (Though, I agree...he should read my post on wearing a tux properly. However, it should be noted that he later changed into one of his world famous western shirts).

-Paul Chenoweth from Chasing the Dragon's Tale discusses the dynamics of bloggers meeting face to face in reference to last night's meetup.

-Rex Hammock plans to podcast his interviews from the meetup.

Still waiting on others to post update...I'll link them here as I find them.

Sorry I missed it - but it's difficult to get into the city for me during the week.

Happy Birthday!! Big Ups for the linkage! Sorry I didn't get to talk to you.

Next time I promise I'll be more sociable.
