Bloggers I'd Like to Meet
I'm coming up this June on my third year of blogging. Over that time I've met several different bloggers thru the web, followed different blogs, quit following blogs and continue to meet new bloggers online. However, I've never met any face to face. I've IM'd with a couple but never had the opportunity to meet any. If I had the chance, I'd love to meet the following:
- Rick Kirkpatrick - I don't even remember how I ran across his site. Probably thru clicking links on other people's sites. He's a worship leader in California that I've had a few IM conversations with about worship teams and worship organization. He's also a fellow Star Wars geek.
- Bobby Marchessault - A kindred worship spirit who I've followed for a couple of years. Another California dude who I'd love to meet. Plus I'm in his top 5 blogs!
- Jeff Miller - A Texas blogger who connected with me back in about February of '06. He's got a great blog over at Consuming Worship and has a heart for helping connect worship leaders through the web. It'll be interesting to see what he does in his desire to make it even easier for worship leads to network online.
These are just a few of the fellow bloggers I'd like to meet sometime. Go check 'em out!













DUDE! I want some KC BBQ and need to come out there. I am glad to have met and even did a road trip with Bobby--he is an awesome guy. Jeff would be cool to meet, too! Maybe we can all meet at a Star Wars convention? ...uhmm...hmm

Whew, nothing like feeling the pressure to perform. Twice in one day, Ben, lol.
Thanks for the kudos. I would love to meet you guys too. Maybe we need to somehow get all the worship bloggers to try and make it to a conference somewhere all at the same time. That would be pretty crazy.
Mac-toting, blogging creatives everywhere you turn around. An invasion.
Did somebody say Star Wars? We just happen to be watching A New Hope right this very moment.

I've had the privilege of connecting with Rich online for the last couple of years, and I'd like to meet up with him some day also. I'm amazed with his ability to give insight and perspective with just a few lines of text. Great musician, and I enjoy learning more about his love for God.

Dude...thanks for the love! I too would love to meet you. You had to be in the top 5! One of the first guys I connected with after blogging. How have we still not connected in person.
Forget all going to the same conference. Maybe we should just have a giant blogger gathering.

Norm - Thanks for the Bday wishes! Yeah...I'm beginning to wonder if I shouldn't have posted this. I'd LOVE to meet you and Karen. Mom and Dad have talk fondly of you guys every time I tell them hi from you.
Maybe I need to do posts for my blogroll friends. I'd love to meet them all!
