thinking about blog camp...

blog campers...please bring a journal with you when you come to blog camp 3.0! we'll get out my stash and we can do a bit of art journaling, since the weather is likely to be rubbish and no fun for playing outside.

mini blog camp

miss buckle, who came to blog camp 2.0 back in september, was in town for the COP15 climate meeting and she had some extra time on friday and saturday, so she came out to blog camp HQ to hang out and have a mini blog camp. the weather was cold, but clear and sunny (for a change), so we took advantage of that and went out to a christmas market at a little bitty castle nearby - selsø slot. the early afternoon light was beautiful there, as you can see in this shot of miss buckle. i was standing down in the dungeon, shooting up at her in the light above. other than that, we went to the christmas festivities at sabin's riding school, but i'll have to share more of that when blogger's photo uploader is working again.

mostly, we just hung out, looking at cookbooks, drinking wine and talking about food. anne is going to be competing in the norwegian version of master chef and so she's doing a lot of thinking about what she will make for the competition. we paged through cookbooks and talked food until our mouths watered. happily, my local fish guy is open again after some repairs to his building and we were able to get some beautiful mussels, salmon and halibut for an absolutely gorgeous fish soup that is one of anne's specialities. i made a thyme focaccia to go with it and we are really happy to have some leftovers for today. blogger won't let me upload the photos right now, but we'll ask anne to be a guest blogger on domestic sensualist and hopefully she'll share the recipe there. it was definitely a dish that i'll be adding to my repertoire!

but the main message in this is that if there's anyone out there who is passing through copenhagen, don't hesitate to get in touch for a mini blog camp.

News just in about the Blog Camp logo

You heard it here first.

planning the fun for blog camp 3.0

even tho' christmas comes first, i'm already getting really excited, making plans for blog camp 3.0 in january, right here at blog camp HQ. i've got one activity planned that i'm really excited about. and people are buying their tickets and it's all falling into place and that's exciting too!

i'm looking forward to seeing kristina, b, polly, jelica, bee and spud again and to meet elizabeth in person (tho' i feel like i've known her for ages).  and i will figure out where they're all gonna sleep before they get here....i promise.

blog camp 3.0 - denmark

several people have asked whether there wouldn't be one last blog camp while we've still got the blue room. and since houses in our area are taking an average of 7 months to sell, we think it's safe to schedule a blog camp in mid-january - right when everyone has recovered from christmas and is wondering how they're going to make it through the darkest, coldest days of winter.  a little blog camp to make it easier to cope.  laughter, hanging out in the blue room, taking pictures, blogging, drinking warm drinks, sitting around the fireplace. you know, all the usual blog camp stuff.

so start checking tickets. january 15-17, 2010. denmark. be there or miss out on your chance to partake of the blue room.

email me if you're interested. email address is in my profile (julochka). :-)

A Preposterous Hypothethis

"My rhymes are so potent that in this small segment, I made all of the ladies in the area pregnant."

Stacey here.

For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of The Flight of the Conchords, here's the video that this excerpt relates to. Good kiwi boys.

Anywho, on a semi-related note. Who would put their hands up for Blogcamp NZ (or New Zealand for those of you who aren't as educated as the rest)?

Just putting it out there... seeing what kind of reaction I get.

This is as far as my plan goes:

* bloggers come from four corners of the globe, for as long as they like, but crossing over for about five days of blog camp somewhere like this or this or this.

* Around Feb/March next year?

* I'd help you guys with everything from what to do and where to go before and after the blog camp, and I'd even greet you with a complimentary beverage once you make it to Auckland city.

* ........?

So. Hands up. Who's interested? Do we look into this further?

Or is it a preposterous hypothethis?

EDIT: So looking at the notes below, would later in next year suit better? How about November/December 2010? Extrajera, I am very pleased with your plan making. 10 points :)

polly is an angel

somehow i missed this photo when i downloaded, or else this aura has recently formed around polly and has only become visible in my iPhoto just today. doesn't she look amazing? it makes me feel as if something really special is about to happen to her.

ooh, i just gave myself goosebumps.
