If you are coming, let me know so that I can add you to the list.  Thanks!

I know I told you about it already. I do not intend to let you forget, because I feel like this sort of meet-and-greet among Black alternate media folks is a good concept, and I know Nichelle and Liza can handle the arrangement of such much better than I. In fact, I suck at networking and being nice in general.

I've met Ronn, EJ, Hashim (of Hip Hop Blogs) and Nichelle...all excellent people and active bloggers. I haven't met Angela (of Tuckergirl) but I'm pretty impressed based on what I see of her blog...in fact, following links in her sidebar (I always prepare, even for the most innocent of assemblies) to information about one of films she's involved in the production of to her bio

...I may be outclassed.

Okay, I'm feeling modest this morning.
