BOLO

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Ottawa

Lynn from TurtleHead isn’t going to BlogHer. Nor am I. That’s why I’m VERY happy she organized the first annual Blog Out Loud Ottawa event.

I really needed someone to commiserate with.

It’s going to be held at the Raw Sugar Cafe in downtown Ottawa, on Thursday, July 23rd from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. 

Local bloggers will be reading their favourite posts and there will be much IRL merriment. Lynn is lining up an impressive roster of bloggers, so if you’re a blogger, or would like to meet some of the faces behind the words, this is the kind of event you might find interesting. (NO STALKERS ALLOWED.) 

Read more about the event at the official Blog Out Loud Blog.

Many thanks for the advertising!

Some local photo bloggers are going to be setting up displays of their work as well. Would you like to bring a few photos to show?

Have fun!

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.

I've deactivated the commenting function as well as my contact form so if you want to get in touch, please drop me a line at quietfish@gmail.com. Thank you!
