A whole boatload of Boston bloggers gathered tonight at the Pour House for the second annual Blogtoberfest - the joint's basement was wall-to-wall bloggers. Jenny Frazier (of All Eyes on Jenny) did a great job organizing it all; she even got sponsors, who put up food and prizes (Jenny's calling out a winner above; our own Ron Newman actually won the very first prize of the evening, a $25 gift certificate to, I think, Starbucks).
It was great to get out of the cave and actually meet some of the people whose blogs I've been reading and linking to all this time (plus, it's the first time I've ever had somebody in a bar tell me "There's several women over there who have been waiting to meet you").
Like the job UHub is doing? Consider a contribution. Thanks!

I didn't get to meet you because I was struck down with an unfortunate stomach bug. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't quite pull myself together in time. Probably better that way.
