A friendly reminder that we’ll be having another blogger coffee on Sunday afternoon.
Here are the details:
time: Sunday, October 17 at 3:30pm (but feel free to show up earlier or later; I’ll likely be there a bit early)
location: Nu Cafe, 335 Chandler Street
Here’s what local legend Jeff Barnard said about the last blogger coffee: “What’s nice is it’s open ended and we don’t have a time limit to stop talking, because there are a lot of things that everybody has on their mind and wants to say. You don’t have to be a blogger, you don’t have to be a reader, just be a local legend in your own right.”
To reiterate:
You do not need to be a blogger to attend.
You do not need to be a regular commenter (or even reader) to attend.
You are more than welcome to come for as long or as short a time as makes you comfortable. You can come late or early. (I’ve been told that Nu Cafe will be having poetry starting at 6pm, but I’m not sure about the schedule.)
Feel free to let me know if you’re going to attend or just show up if the mood strikes you that day. (And if this time doesn’t work for you, we’ll try to have regular meetups and we’ll keep you posted.)

Nicole, would you be able to host an unofficial City of Worcester crowdsourcing site through your blog, just to get it started?

It’s something I’d need to research more (i.e., how to get that done). There are certain projects I’d like to see crowdsourced (improving bike lanes that already exist, like on Mill Street; digitizing any book in the Worcester Room that’s pre-1922, etc.).
I’d welcome any ideas on how to get something like that started. I’m a bit out straight with non-blog activities this week and — frankly — I’m not completely familiar with all the crowdsourcing software possibilities. Suggest away!
stopped by NuCafe 2 pm Sunday afternoon, the place was a mess! picked up 5 coffee cups in the arking lot/patio, the trash in the lobby overflowing, recycling bin was full, and five baristas were in a huddle near the island behind the counter
Luckily it was in much better shape by the time we got there — I’ll post an update with pictures at some point this evening.
