Category LS 2007
[14:16] PM: Spanky!
[14:16] PM: have an idea mate - could be a good laugh regarding Lotusphere 07
[14:24] Spanky: Let's hear it.
[14:25] Spanky: (sorry for the late response -I was otherwise engaged)
[14:25] PM: well.... how about the 1irst offical paired bloggers swan race ...
[14:26] PM: bloggers pair up - a few heats and a final...
[14:26] Spanky: Sounds GREAT!
[14:27] PM: I reckon it would be good fun
[14:27] Spanky: (sending you a file)
[14:28] Spanky: Need to find a proper time for it. We'll have to look into the hours of operation so we can get it covered.
[14:29] PM: true - that will be the toughie - but how about lunch time?
[14:30] *** PM has received 100_0175.jpg.
Bill, Devin, Paul & Warren at LS06 [14:30] Spanky: I think that would be best. Nothing quite like stuffing yourself with food followed up by extreme physical exertion. Should be _interesting_ to say the least.
[14:30] PM: will be a good laugh - how about you, I , Bill and warren blog it coming up to the event...
[14:31] PM: great photo!
[14:31] Spanky: I'll post it on the blog later this afternoon.
[14:31] PM: cool - willdo the same..
[14:32] PM: now... we need to get Rocky on board to arrange a trophy
[14:32] Spanky: He's in Phoenix right now at the Advisor Summit. I'll try to get ahold of him tonight.
[14:33] PM: cool!! something tacky
[15:02] PM: https://www.pmooney.net/blogsphe.nsf/d6plinks/PMOY-6T6TMF
[15:02] Spanky: Damn. You beat me to it.
[15:03] PM: believe me - more people read yours and Bills site - both of ye should post
[15:03] Spanky: LOL
[15:03] Spanky: I am so blogging this.

So, without further ado, I would like to announce the First Official Paired Bloggers Swan Race (completely unofficial, of course). Although to be honest, I'm not really a fan of the name. I think perhaps we need a group effort to figure out a better name.

I think that the name should incorporate some (not necessarily all) of the following terms:

  • Waterfowl
  • Regatta
  • Unofficial
  • Blogger
  • Completely
  • Lotusphere
  • Open
  • Paired
  • Mixed
  • Beer

In case you're interested, here are some pics from last year's (Lotusphere 2006) event that, ahem, hatched this idea.
