A Little Tipsy from Blogger Hour

Friday, June 8th, 2007

Tipsy from head spinning knowledge and sharing … not the booze. Thanks to a back issue and pain meds I had to suffer and watch Paul Jahn and Patrick Schaber enjoy cold beers while I rocked some Diet Pepsi.

Paul and I expanded our “blog-net-webby-seo-local search-life” sessions to include Patrick and we think adding a few more great MN minds would add to the fun. If you are a blogger in MN and have any interest drop a comment here and we’ll give you a heads up on the next happy hour time and location. Patrick might already be Twittering about it non-stop … he confessed a crush on Twitter last night for some reason. :)

I guarantee you’ll learn a ton from even just soaking up Paul and Patrick’s experience and knowledge. If you want to know more on my expertise, pop over to my day job blog … the FB blog has suffered due to the day job postings. Poor hobby blog.

So if your thirsty for blog knowledge and more, join us for a beer.

Buffalo Days - Summer Splash on June 10 - 17, 2007

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

Buffalo Days is an eight day event every June that attracts thousands of visitors to Buffalo, MN. The event starts on a Sunday with a classic car show, fly in breakfast, craft show and more. That is just a fraction of the events that will take place in the following days. As the week goes on you will see there are children’s events, concerts in the park, pool and cribbage tournaments, etc.

On Friday night there is a large fireworks display. Saturday there are multiple children events in Sturges Park and that evening at 6:00 p.m. is the parade. The week culminates on Sunday morning starting with a 5k run, a church service, breakfast and ends with the Royalty Coronation in the evening. From Wednesday to Sunday there is also a carnival in town.

Minnesota Meme: Trip around the state

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

I always see the high traffic (A-listers if you will) blogs passing around their meme’s and basking in their popularity and I feel so left out. I’ve been part of one, but there are many that never sniff my neck of the woods. Finding Buffalo isn’t for everyone, right?

So I’m talking matters into my own hands and starting a Minnesota Blog Meme. Requirements are simple, fill us in on three things about MN ….anything … what you love, what you hate, where you visit, where you party, where you blog from, just keep it Minne-sooo-tan. Then tag three other MN bloggers. If you are unaware of any other MN bloggers, City Pages has a good list of MN blogs, so visit a few of them!

3 Minnesota Items:

  • Downtown Buffalo, MN is on the shores of Buffalo Lake.
  • I bet I watch at least 100 of the 162 Twins games on TV each season (my wife loves that).
  • Nothing beats eating lunch (a made-to-order wrap or sandwich) at BJ’s Deli in Buffalo during summer on their patio.

3 Minnesota Bloggers I’m tagging:

OK, the bus has left Buffalo, I hope it makes it around this great state without running out of gas. :)
