SIDE SALAD - Everything crunchy is good.

TO BLOG FEST OR NOT TO BLOG FEST

I'm torn. Really I am.

I've been invited to a gathering of Tampa Bay bloggers. It's at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 18th at Splitsville bowling lanes in the Channelside district.

But it already has the faint whiff of flash mob.

The first indication: the time had to be changed because some of the bloggers are under age.

Ooooops.

It's too bad, really. I've been reading some of the associated blogs for a while now and I really like their content. It'd be nice to meet them for once and have a drink.

But we'd have to order Grape Nehi.
