So a couple of quick thoughts:<\/p>\n<p>* It won&#8217;t happen over night, so maybe we begin with <strong>regional meetings<\/strong> as <a href=\"http:\/\/beerblog.genx40.com\/archive\/2008\/october\/updateonstans\">suggested here by Alan.<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>* Such meetings would be facilitated by the Google group suggested <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/beerinator\/status\/990155425\">and quickly created by Jonathan Surratt.<\/a> This is something that would help us all every day of the week. It would also make it easier, for instance, for five bloggers to discover they&#8217;ll be at the Great Taste of the Midwest and arrange a meeting. Or perhaps a group Twitter effort. One note I read from the <a href=\"http:\/\/winebloggersconference.org\/\">American Wine Bloggers<\/a> meetup is that everybody was twittering.<\/p>\n<p>* If we all end up at a <strong>American Beer Bloggers Conference<\/strong> the event will be a reflection of the beer blogging community, and while our blogs have a lot in common with wine blogs I think the agenda would be much different than at the wine conference. One of the best posts out of that one came from <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.winemag.com\/steve\/2008\/10\/27\/so-what-did-i-learn-at-the-wine-bloggers-conference\/#comments\">Steve Heimoff<\/a> (be sure to read the comments as well.). I like wine and I like wine blogs, but one of the joys of life is that beer and wine are different. There&#8217;s no reason beer and wine blogs shouldn&#8217;t be as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Too much time on the road?
