So, the news to watch out for regarding local blogging events:<br />
On August 31st, we will start the new blogging year <a href="http://blogtogether.org/article/288/time-for-a-party" target="_blank" title="">with a party</a>, of course, so come and eat and blog about it.<br />
Then, on September 23-25th, the big three-day <a href="http://blogtogether.org/article/287/food-blogging" target="_blank" title="">FoodBlogging</a> series of yummy events (also see the write-up in the <a href="http://www.indyweek.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A158249" target="_blank" title="">Independent</a>) so come and eat and blog about it.<br />
The blogger meet-ups will, next year, move away from its exlusive Carrboro location and start alternating between Chapel Hill/Carrboro and Durham.  Now that Duke is <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/clock/2007/07/science_blogging_at_duke.php" target="_blank" title="">getting into the blogging</a> business and there are more and more bloggers there (in addition to some of the old <a href="http://www.pamshouseblend.com/frontPage.do" target="_blank" title="">superstars</a>), it would be nice to spread the love a little and make it easier for everyone to attend.<br />
Finally, the preparations for the <a href="http://scienceblogging.com/" target="_blank" title="">Science Blogging Conference</a> are in full swing.  The <a href="http://wiki.scienceblogging.com/scienceblogging/" target="_blank" title="">wiki</a> is already pretty useful, but it will be all up-to-date on September 1st, when registration opens.<br />
So, keep an eye on the <a href="http://blogtogether.org/" target="_blank" title="">BlogTogether blog</a> for news and try to join us whenever you can.</p>
