I'll be attending ConvergeSouth this year just as I've attended ConvergeSouth every year to date. I might even attend Blogher on Sunday and while I wouldn't miss the Friday night barbecue for anything in the world I'll not be attending the Saturday night dinners in downtown Greensboro as the venues chosen are always too costly for my meager means.

Instead, I'll be dining in my backyard that night and anyone who attends ConvergeSouth is invited to come dine with me. I can't afford to feed all of you but if you'd like to share my backyard with my chickens, earthworms and I then all you need to do is pitch-in on the cost of hamburgers, hot dogs and other foods cooked on the grill. I promise the tomatoes will be fresh from the garden.

My home is easy to find (the only house in town with a biplane in the front yard) and only about 3 miles (5-10 minutes) from A&T University where the weekend's events will be taking place. Send an e-mail to idleblogs (AT) yahoo.com if you're interested.
