If you’re reading this, you’re part of the great “06880” online community.
Which means you’re invited to our 11th annual “blog party.”
The date is Thursday, July 17. We’ll gather at 6 p.m. at Compo Beach — specifically, alcohol-is-okay South Beach, by the trees (the opposite end from the cannons).
Bring your own food, beverages (no glass bottles, though!), beach chairs and blankets.
The first 10 years were great successes*. They were true community gatherings – chances to meet and mingle with the diverse “06880” community (both online and real). It’s fun, un-fancy, and free!
We extend a special welcome to all our new “06880” readers. And those who have never come to our bash.
This year’s blog party will be better than ever.
I can’t give away any secrets, though. You’ll just have to show up, and see for yourself.
*Except for the rainout. And the heat. And COVID.

Yippee- I hope to make it this time, Dan!
‘Breeders’ may attend at their own risk. Definitely NO CHILDREN per you know who.
lighten up
Candace, I have no idea what you’re talking about. All are welcome at the “06880” party. We love having kids there. They are the future of this town.
Thank you Dan, that’s very kind.
I believe you are an imposter on 06880, already questioned.. what a bizarre and ignorant comment.
As a mom of 4 I do not refer to myself as a “breeder”, I also do not appreciate your nasty veiled inference.
I do not believe that Dan has ever not welcomed children to his party.
A very strange and disturbing assertion.
Potentially you may need help.
Per who we know ?
Hmmmmm per your asinine comment. Are you an RTM MEMBER ?
If that’s true then I just took their bait. Darn. Oh well, it’s still an absurd comment to make about 06880. Hope you uncoverr their dentity and block them from further comments.
Hi Ms. Webster.
The term ‘breeder’ was used by your good friend and online bully, Chris Grimm in a recent LLES post describing those with children.
Please take it up with him. I now need to get back to my regularly scheduled migraine that occurs every time I’m subject to read one of your incoherent rants.
Nothing to the migraine medicine I need when ignorant commenters such as you take to the podium/pulpit.
I’ve never met Chris, but I will say I agree with most of what he says.
An online bully ?
You might look in the mirror !!!!!
I’d say your nasty insults qualify for that description.
Omg 😏all I can say is Dan, you have unending patience, a kind and humble man. You’ve given us 06880 for 15 years every morning, and thank you. Wish we could go. We are in PA in August. Doesn’t tie in. Too bad. We may toodle around Westport and go to Coffee An when we head out to Long Island.
Thanks so much! I love what I do, and am so glad you’re part of this local, online and also far-flung community. Give a yell when you’re in town — we’ll miss you at the party, but I’d love to say hi.
Will do, Dan. I really am counting in a swing into Westport in August!!!😍
Candace, If I had a choice of having dinner with Taylor Swift, and she was going to give me 6 million dollars, OR going to Dan Woog’s get together, I would go to Dan’s get together!!
Jack,
I’ll take the $6M you can take Taylor Swift with you.
