Notes:
Construction note: There might still be a fence around Harkness Commons preventing access to the Berkman Center via the Harvard Law School yard. It may be possible to cut through Pound Hall to get to a parking lot near the Berkman Center. For those coming from Harvard Square, it might be easier to travel along Massachusetts Avenue to the Berkman Center. map

Sunday Brunch: Johnny D’s – UPDATED
Joey is in town this weekend – er, AccordionGuy is in town this weekend, and wants to do a blogger brunch while he’s here.
We will meet at 11:30am on Sunday at Johnny D’s, on Holland Street just outside Davis Square. If you can’t be on time, please let me know you’re coming so we can get you a seat. All are welcome, looks like they have plenty of good veggie food as well as meaties.
Hope to see you there.
Addendum 8/1: j here: Brunch was great. There were about ten of us and we sat at two tables. A few bloggers who covered the convention were there and we heard a little bit about their activities. We hoped AccordionGuy would jam with the jazz musicians, but, unfortunately, that didn’t happen. He did, however, seranade a few of us and some children in the park near the T station while we ate ice cream.

DNC Bloggers on The Connection
The radio show The Connection aired a discussion about bloggers at the Democratic National Convention Monday morning. The segment will be archived on their Web site and may air again later this evening. In the Boston area, 90.9 FM WBUR carries the show. It is also broadcast on the Internet.
Getting Together with DNC Bloggers
So far, j has been in touch with one blogger who is in town for the Democratic National Convention. Has anyone been in touch with anyone else going to the DNC?
To work around the DNC schedule, suggested plans are having brunch or lunch or going out very late at night or all of the above.
One blogger suggested contacting everyone on Cyberjournalist’s list of convention bloggers and anyone else we know of who might be in town this week. Would anyone like to volunteer to do that?
If you’re going to the DNC and you’d like to meet up with us, please comment below.
