Where do I begin?
This weekend was by far, one of the busiest I’ve had all year. Except for maybe when I have to work a soccer game then a football game at the stadium, then it becomes a little tiring. I guess we can start in the order of which the events occurred.
SATURDAY: Boston Sports Blogapalooza II – Boston, MA
Man, this event is probably one of my favorite things to attend. Thanks to the hard work and diligence of Mr. Joe Gill, this event has transformed from a small networking event in May to THE sports blogging event of the New England area. When the first ever Blogapalooza happened in May, it was truly my first experience in networking and actually putting a face to many of the blogs that I read on a daily basis. Needless to say, I was pretty nervous to see exactly how I compare to some of the bigger names.
I networked my butt off with everyone from Ian of The Rap Sheet of the Boston Herald to Ian Logue of the huge site www.PatsFans.com. Unfortunately, due to some prior engagements neither of the Ian’s were able to make it to the event. Fret not, there were some other pretty big names that were present at the Blogapalooza II event. I met Robert Hyldburg Jr., the author of “Total Patriots” ( a book that I use way too often when writing articles for Patriots Insider). It was pretty incredible to speak with him on some the specifics of how the book came into existence and also reminiscing about some Patriots history.
What more can a dedicated Patriots fan/aspiring sports writer ask for?
Oh, but there was even more awesomeness to come from this event.
There are a group of dedicated Patriots people on twittter that I have often had the pleasure of being associated with. These people are some of the most interesting, hilarious and coolest football tweeps on the twitter and it’s not too often that I get a chance to meet them in person and talk about the one thing that has brought us together: Patriots Football.
One of these individuals trekked all the way from the west coast to network with some Boston’s best. Mike Dussault, or known to most of Patriots Nation as @PatsPropaganda (www.patspropanda.com). If you haven’t already, please check out Mike’s work. …
