I was never much of a schmoozer. Actually, I was just never that good at it.
In college, all my accomplished professors made sure that it was instilled in our brains that the sports industry feeds off of networking. We’ve heard it before so many times, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know” and so far, at least from my experience, it’s been true. This is why being able to attend the Boston Blogapalooza today was such a GREAT experience. 
I want to extend a big thanks to Joe Gill for all his hard work and unrelenting marketing of Blogapalooza. It worked, I was really excited to attend! And before I forget, I want to say thanks to Kristyn G for being such an awesome friend(entourage) and attending this event with me. Hope you had as much fun as I did 
Besides getting a little lost around Boston (which happens a lot for me ), my Sunday started out wonderfully. Walking into The Baseball Tavern was a little overwhelming at first considering I had no idea what to expect from the event, other than beer, sports and food of course. What I was curious about was how a bunch of sports bloggers would interact with one another. Some people were brave and flew solo to the event, which I admire. Even in a situation like this, sports always manages to bring people together and before we knew it, everyone was talking like they’ve known each other for years.
There were so many people that I recognized from Twitter, Facebook and other miscellaneous blogs that I read on a daily basis. I won’t lie, it was pretty great when I would introduce myself to people and they’ve either read my work on Patriots Insider or have stumbled across my blog somehow and really liked what they read. It takes a lot to make me blush and comments like that definitely do the trick.
Some of the coolest conversations I had were with these fellow bloggers:
Kat from …On Being a Sports Girl
Soxy Lady
Dan from Dan Sullivan Sport Management
Ian Logue of PatsFans.com
Going into Blogapalooza, I knew that there was so much more to learn about the world of blogging and sports. The best things about this event? I had the chance to sit and talk to many respected journalists and sportswriters from the New England area. …
