So I attended the soap box on the square today. And while I found it interesting and enjoyed the comments from the VA editor and Gary Moses(yeah go Gary). I was disappointed that there wasn’t a bigger turn-out.. The music was great and I did meet some of the people with whom I have enjoy dialog with,. However some of the people who are the most vocal on the comments and blog sections were not there Now I must say I did leave after one hour, so if I did missed you cause you got there late(sorry). And I know some of you had to work But for the rest ,I am not going to call you out by name (you know who you are) but if you are going to put your comment up on the board ,the least you could do is turn out to defend them. As I said I did meet some of the people that I have read or spoke with on the VA site. And they all seemed like nice people,> But as Gary said we need to share and give back to the community, even if it’s just a comment in the paper we are involving ourselves in the process. By making people aware of something that they didn’t know about the community or just giving a shout out is good enough. We don’t all have to agree or be best buds, but thru dialog we can help make things better. And don’t forget to vote

I never knew everyone from the boards got together to meet. What's this about? Is there a link somewhere with information about these meetings and their relavance? I don't think I'd attend anyway, not sure there's a point in that, non-the-less, what's the purpose of getting together to meet each other?
I think you take the fun out of "all this" when you know everyone?
April 1, 2009 at 10:20 p.m.We may try a Saturday next time. Or maybe we'll go around to different neighborhoods or town. Or maybe CJ will organize that Tweet-up.
April 1, 2009 at 9:24 p.m.Roy - Sorry I didn't get to meet you, I arrived later, think you were gone by then.
Rebecca - It was great seeing you, even if it was for just a little bit.
April 1, 2009 at 9:12 p.m.Dang it. I meant "it." Now we will all know that I don't check typos before I post - only AFTER. So, I'll be doing a lot of this until I catch on.
April 1, 2009 at 4:41 p.m.It was nice meeting you all. I hate going to places where I don't know anyone but you all made if worth while.
April 1, 2009 at 4:38 p.m.maybe next time you can do this on a saturday for those who do work.
April 1, 2009 at 4:36 p.m.Thanks Chris and I really wanted to talk to you ,But I couldn't drag you away from the cookie box ,OR wait was that me at the cookie box .(I"M old I can't remember)
April 1, 2009 at 4:26 p.m.Roy,
Thanks for attending. I enjoyed meeting you and the others.
April 1, 2009 at 4:18 p.m.@itsallfunny I agree. That’s why I quit that 4 letter word stuff long ago. Besides who would hire an old broke down geezer like me. But for all you people who do work!!! KUDOS I’m right behind you
April 1, 2009 at 4:02 p.m.Why isn't Mr_Wizards comment showing here?
April 1, 2009 at 3:51 p.m.Agreed. Not as good a turnout as I had hoped, but it was nice to see some of the online users IRL.
April 1, 2009 at 3:03 p.m.Work is such a horrible thing to have to do rather than attend a soap box.
