Blog Fest recaps


I will update this post as the reports come in. I'm still working on my own post.

Blog Fest 2012 Spring Edition was another rip roaring success with an estimated 200 people attending.

Some more views of Blog Fest, from two non-political bloggers. See if you can spot a common theme in all the posts! We're going to have to make sure Gene Stilp and Pignelope come to all of our future events!

I could only stay a short time and had a great time. I was disappoointed NEPA's only (as far as I know) health & fitness blogger wasn't there. Is Dr. Leonardi included on your site? I have been following his blog since I saw him on channell 44. His book helped me lose over 50 pounds and I was hoping to meet him in person or was this event strictly political?
Thanks for all you bloggers do.

It's funny, I've known about Joe Leonardi's fitness blog forever, yet for some reason we never added it. I haven't seen him at a blog gathering since probably 2006, back when he used to be a political blogger! But Blog Fest isn't just about politics, or even mainly about politics. Non-political bloggers outnumbered political bloggers this time around by about 3-to-1, though there were still more politicians and political operatives there overall. Plus a giant inflatable pig!
