Here’s to the bloggers who lunch
Posted by Lisa Rowan in Events on June 8, 2010
We’re having another blogger meetup tomorrow—this time in Virginia for the lunch crowd. If you’re interested in attending, let me know and I’ll give you the details. Some of the new people on the TBD team will be there, so come meet them before we have a chance to properly haze them!
Blogs and TBD go together like pizza and beer

Thanks to everyone who came out to make TBD blogger meetup 2.0 a big success last night.
We shared pizza and drinks with a lot of talented and diverse bloggers at Roscoe’s Pizzeria in Takoma Park. It was a great chance for our community engagement team to answer questions and get to know people we will be working very closely with once TBD.com launches this summer.
The first meetup was in May. We have some more coming up where you can meet the TBD crew and your fellow bloggers, and learn what we’re about. If you’re interested, be sure to e-mail or tweet us. Event photos and tweets below:
Here’s some of what people had to say:
Meet us tonight in ye olde Takoma Park
Posted by Lisa Rowan in Events on June 1, 2010
Hey, online entrepreneurs. We’re having another informal meeting of bloggers, online whatever-you-want-to-call-its, and fun writer types tonight in Takoma Park. Don’t give me that line about how Takoma is “Soooooo farrrrr awayyyyyy.” I live there, and if I had a nickel for every time I heard that line … yeesh.
If you’d like to come out to meet us, nosh on something good, and learn about our blogger network, tell me! I’ll send you the details and you can come alllll the wayyyyy to Takoma Park tonight.
See you there!
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Why not have it with us?

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been inviting bloggers to meet with us at informal sessions around the area from Barracks Row, to Takoma Park and Clarendon. It’s inspiring to talk shop with passionate writers and creators who care about their communities, and it’s always fun to chat over a beer or two.
But it’s about time we let more people in on the secret.
To help kick off Digital Capital Week , we’d like to invite you to meet us for brunch at Mie N Yu on June 12 at 11 a.m. Bloggers, local news junkies, aspiring journalists, neighborhood activists, social media fans, you’re all invited! Learn more about our blogger network and enjoy a delicious brunch…and maybe a mimosa or two. Please RSVP before we run out of space—we can only meet so many of you at once!
See you at the pancakes!
EDIT 6/1, 9:15 a.m.: Holy moly, folks! We’re out of tickets already, despite our announcement just before the holiday weekend. Either you guys are really hungry, or you’re really excited. I’m sort of hoping for both.
If you’re a blogger who wanted to attend but missed out on the RSVP, let us know.
Fun times at our first blogger meetup
Posted by Lisa Rowan in Events on May 21, 2010
Last night we held our first info session about the TBD blogger network that will highlight content from local blogs and websites. We had a lot of time talking to the writers about what they do and how we can work together. Bonus: snacks! Thanks to everyone who came out to learn more about us. If you want to be a part of our next info session, let me know. Check out more photos on our Flickr page.
The crowd spills out onto the Ugly Mug's patio during our first meetup.
