MilBlog Conference

A MILBLOG

The Mudville Gazette is the on-line voice of an American warrior and his wife who stands by him. They prefer to see peaceful change render force of arms unnecessary. Until that day they stand fast with those who struggle for freedom, strike for reason, and pray for a better tomorrow.

MilBlog Conference

Greyhawk

(Update/bump from 2006-04-21 20:02:04.) Too late for the party at Fran's - I hear it was packed. But today's the day! Join us online - details below.)

If you're in the Washington DC area tonight, rumor has it you might find some well known milbloggers hoisting a few at Fran O'Brien's sometime around nine.

Regretfully I'll not be among them, though I'll be there in spirit.

And when the milblog conference kicks off ~~tomorrow~~ today you can "be there" with me, via this link to the live audio/video feed. (It ain't live yet, of course, but tune in ~~tomorrow~~ today.)

The Mrs and I will be coordinating online chat participation by fellow milbloggers. If you're one of those who want to join - and if you haven't received an email from me with instructions how - please send me a note.

Ain't technology wonderful?

Update: Wow - this is dedication!

The agenda (all times eastern). Mrs G and I will be online throughout - as noted, milbloggers can join for two-way a/v, chat, and full participation. Send me an email for details. Others can watch and listen live via the link above.
