A weekly meeting for people interested in weblogs, newbie to guru.
ø
because of Harvard University’s Commencement. If you are interested in getting together for dinner at 7 pm in lieu of the meeting, please either comment below or contact j. It’s probably a good idea to meet some place other than Harvard Square because of the chaos from Harvard’s Commencement. Any suggestions?

Proposed agenda:
There will be no Webcast. Dave is tinkering with something to record the meeting and maybe post the sound file later.
Notes:
Like past and future agendas, if you have an item you’d like on the agenda, comment, get blogging privileges from Jay , or contact him or the other j.

By now perhaps, you’ve already read about Jay McCarthy’s house burning down Sunday morning. The important thing is that he and his family were able to get out safely. He might be posting updates about the situation on his blog, makeoutcity.
Lisa Williams set up a PayPal account to help Jay and his family.
For those of you considering buying him books to help him rebuild his collection, he does have an Amazon Wish List (search under his name to find it).
Perhaps Jay will tell us other ways we can help.

Two of our bloggers who sing have concerts this week.
Shimon sings with New Century Voices, which has two concerts this week, Tuesday, May 4 at 8 pm and Friday, May 7 at 8 pm at the Longy School of Music in Cambridge, and another on Sunday, May 16 at 5 pm at King’s Chapel in Boston. Shimon emphasizes that the group only sings briefly during these three events.
sj will be singing this weekend during Harvard’s Arts First. The concert he refers to is Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem at 4:30 pm in Memorial Church on Saturday, May 8. Another group sj sings with has a concert at 8 pm on Friday night at Sanders Theatre.
Addenda 5/4: Shimon shares the program (.doc) for the May 7th concert. His group sings last, so perhaps there is time to catch sj first.
5/9: j sort of made it to all four concerts. No comment on which was better, though.

The next blog group brunch outing will be on Sunday,
May 2, at 11 am at the Phoenix Landing, 512
Massachusetts Avenue in Central Square, Cambridge.
The Phoenix Landing serves Irish breakfast, American
brunch food, coffee, and other food and beverages.
It’s in Central Square on the same side of
Massachusetts Avenue as the Middle East, not the side
with Pearl Art and Craft Supplies. From the Red Line T
stop, go about a block east (toward MIT) and look for
a restaurant with red and yellow paint.
Many buses also serve the Central Square area.
Friends, family members, and other bloggers of all
ages (j checked) are welcome.
j made a reservation for ten people.
The woman said they’ll have a soccer game on the big screen.
It should be easy to find the group since the restaurant is an open rectangle.
Addendum: Somerville Open Studios is happening this weekend. Some people will go after brunch. Also, Toscanini’s ice cream is within walking distance of Phoenix Landing …
Addendum 5/3: There were eleven people for brunch yesterday. The soccer game was kinda lame, but the food and conversation were good.
