We’re going to get more details

out soon, but if you’re a blogger in Montreal I thought I should give advance notice to set aside the evening of March 19, a Saturday night, for the 5th Anniversary Party for YULBlog at Zeke’s Gallery. We’re pretty sure YULBlog’s First Wednesday is the longest-running regular weblogger gathering in the world, and we ARE sure we should celebrate that! Invitations and information will be coming from me, Patrick, Blork, and/or Chris very soon. Keep an eye on your inboxes, mailboxes, and the YULBlog site and all shall be revealed.
