Labor Day weekend will mark my one-year anniversary as a “professional blogger.” I cannot honestly say that I switched from courtroom attorney to paid scribbler of words because I overly enjoy the company of others. That said, even the most hermetical of people ought to get out and meet like-minded people now and then. Ileenie “The Weenie” Haddad’s BlogathonATX series is about to have its latest incarnation, and I plan on going for the hell of it. Rather than try to come up with a nifty unpaid sales pitch, I’ll steal words from Q:

This homegrown conference was the brain child of Ilene “The Weenie” Haddad.  Weenie originally thought it would be fun to get all her favorite local bloggers together in one place for a whole day and see what happened.  The result was a loosely structured event comprised of impromptu learning and interaction with the coolest, hippest, smartest and most laid-back folks in the city.  After the first BlogathonATX, the people wanted more.  Now, on Saturday, September 15 2012, the fifth installment of BlogathonATX is scheduled to take place–and tickets are on sale now.

I might even consider waking up early on a Saturday for this.

Weenie, I might add, is quite the comic artist.
