After last month's stroking courtesy of the P-I Seattlest expects tonight's blogger meetup in Belltown to be a great one with plenty of first-timers finally making their way down. Besides being a great opportunity to hang out face to face with other local bloggers, there's no telling what kind of mainstream meda types will be in attendance. Is this your chance to say, "It's really more about myself and my friends than who's reading," into a Q13 TV camera?
As always the meeting is at the cafe in Ralph's Grocery in Belltown from 7-9pm, but Seattlest suggests you show up early if you want to catch the inevitable exodus to Arcade Fire. As of this writing the matriarch is planning on attending so drop by just to say hey to Anita if you've got a minute. We're sure Jake will be there as well. There we go again, acting like Seattlest is an old hand at Seattle blogger meetups when the truth is we haven't officially attended one. Unfortunately, tonight our string will remain unbroken.

There are far more important things to worry about than whether you make a blogger meetup.
I think the nerds of the world should punish you by breaking your Intarweb.
