I’d be up for a Queens Blogfest for sure! I bet you’d do a great job setting it up, Steve.
Representing OuterB and Joey in Astoria (with the fabulous flooz) here!

Do food bloggers count? I’ve actually been thinking it would be kinda fun to do something like that.

Hey, maybe I will try to get something set up! Probably more bloggers than we think around here — just not enough bloggers with NYT coverage. And of course food bloggers count!

Yes, anyone may come and bask in our glory. (Kidding, kidding!)

What’s wrong with a communal tureen of puttanesca at the Family Restaurant? Bigger isn’t necessarily better. I prefer Sarabella, by the way…

I, in fact, just found Queens Rocks the other day — no idea why I’d never seen it before. Great blog. As far as the Family Restaurant goes, I’ve never been much of a fan. My wife and I have an ongoing disagreement about this. I’ve had some decent food there, but I can’t really name a worse Italian place, so there you go.

The Queens Rocks crew could probably be convinced to show up… and we might even reveal our real names
(Thanks for the shout-out, Steve!)Have you all seen this? They stopped updating it, though.

Your fans in Brooklyn support you in your blogfestquest.
And yes, if blogging about dog crap on the sidewalks counts, food bloggers count.

We’ll never be as cool as Brooklyn …
Posted by Steve on Monday, May 14th, 2007
… as long as Brooklyn has “the most blog-rich areas of the United States,” according to no less than The New York Times — so blog-rich, in fact, that the Brooklyn Blogfest just convened for the second whizbang-successful year. After all, what’s cooler than sitting in front of a computer all day obsessively poring over press releases from Borough Hall? I’d love to do a Queens Blogfest, but at this point, I fear it’d be me, the Queens Crapper, the Forest Hills 72 guy, the LICNYC guy, the OuterB crew and a couple of teenage LiveJournalers from Bayside sitting around a big table at The Family Restaurant over a communal tureen of puttanesca. Can you imagine The Times referring to any of the attendees as “quite well-known”? We need more blogging around here — if you build it, they will come. Queens Blogfest ‘08?
