CT BloggerCon 1

Last night, various bloggers from around Connecticut gathered at Drescher’s in Waterbury. It was a small gathering that got off to a late start due to some ceremony for Waterbury Police Cadets.

The gathering was dominated by liberal leaning political bloggers from along the coast, so much of the discussion centered around the Governor’s race, and the possibilities of a U.S. Senate race.

There was also a discussion about environmental blogging, mentioning such sites as sphere as well as two Greenpeace blogs.

Everyone had a good time and there were discussions of scheduling another CT BloggerCon in a month or so. If you are interested, please suggest dates and places in the comments.
