Bloggers Are Social After All
Ed Fuentes
DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — The Downtown Bloggers 'Anti' Ice Cream Social lived up to it's name when Joseph Mailander joined chamber of commercey bloggers and readers in Little Tokyo on Sunday afternoon. The usual suspects found around downtown were joined by readers that included LAinAnaheim, and Urban Bruin who bravely strayed into USC turf protected only by two small dogs.
A few others, like Russell Brown and Bert Green, dropped by while hitting the Tofu Festival food booth, which was the point of having the social that day. And I have to add that was very touching that Edward Padgett joined the Weller Court chatroom.
We have to say thank you to Tami of Piccomolo Italian Ice Cream shop who topped our 3pm ice cream with 4:30pm iced coffees, and who was very cordial with us taking over her tables and chairs on a busy Sunday afternoon.

The smart hat guy was Carioca on the skyscraperpage forums (Dan).
Thanks for everyone coming out!

I'm so bummed me missed you bloggers- I was actually sitting in the beer garden at 4:00 right across from ice cream place and couldn't figure out who the bloggers were. Oh well, I enjoyed the cool beer and the shade, but I didn't want to walk up to some random table and say "Hey, are you bloogging in LA" or some stupid crap.
I hope all of you had a good time, as my friend and I were very happy with the festivities.

Nice to know we look like regular people and able to mix in with a crowd.

maybe we should make t-shirts with a catchy tag line so the next public outing we'll be more easily identifiable...
