Today was the first day of the Blogging While Brown (BWB) Conference in Atlanta, Ga. After getting settled in the room, Shawn and I checked out the BlackWeb 2.0 ATL Meet-up, hosted by Ketchum Interactive. We were told there would be a surprise guest and a live video stream would be available for those who couldn’t make it. After getting there we out the surprise guest was MC Lyte. Yes, THE MC Lyte (I could feel my boyhood crush coming back). Lyte was live on a conference call and she answered questions about her group Almost September and other internet projects (which she personally manages).

The meet-up was a major success and plans are in the making to have more events like this online. Afterwards we got to network with other fellow bloggers in the room and made our way to the BWB meet-up at the Fox Sports Grill Atlantic Station. It was nice to be in the presence of other black bloggers. If this was a sign of what’s to come tomorrow, I’m going to have a good time. We’re witnessing history in the making because something big is going to come out of this conference. There’s just too much knowledge being dropped for it to not happen. Stay tuned.

Now back to MC Lyte. Sorry, I couldn’t help it.
