Attention Bear Flag Leaguers

1) I'm having trouble accessing my Yahoo account, and can't do it consistently from here. (Though oddly enough, it works on my husband's old backup computer. Go figure.)

The Attila-Hub and I are in for the L.A. version of the election-night party. Definitely into that.

2) Also—and this isn't limited to the Bear Flag League—The Llama Butchers were joking about putting together a big blogfest/psuedo convention in 2005 sometime, in Las Vegas, and it suddenly turned serious. The idea would be to try to bring together bloggers from every region of the country, in the only town in the west where you can always get a cheap hotel room if it's off-season (that is, during the summer, in the heat). And where you can always get a room, period, no matter how late in the game you make your plans. Not to mention cheap airfare from anywhere in the country.

If we decide to have actual panels, or read papers, that shouldn't be too hard. And if we set up small booths and sell each other our CafePress offerings, that wouldn't have to take up more than half a day.

If we don't want to do that, we can just go play the slots or go swimming. Or maybe take bloggy daytrips to the Hoover Dam.

Spread the word and see if there's any interest. This would be an attempt to merge all the little regional groups we've formed, and have one national (or, preferably, international) meeting.

Let me know.

3 Actually, I do have a gmail invite, but it's accessible on my Yahoo account. I tried to use it previously, but was informed by the Google bot that I needed an up-to-date browser, but by my Mac expert friends that an up-to-date browser was incompatible with my existing operating system, and therefore with my computer. So I need to log in from my husband's computer, retrieve the invite, and (assuming they don't expire) send it to myself at my non-blogging address. Then get it from this machine and set up the account. As Winnie-the-Pooh would say, "bother."
