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 23. 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 11 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.

Always a summer highlight.
I hope to make it!
I was at one blog party four years ago. I’d like to go, but it’s about a 500 miles round trip, if I drive. Of course I’m the only person in the world who can claim the following1) I met Jackie Robinson, 2) I met Jack Dempsey, who won the Heavyweight Championship in 1919, 3) I met a soldier who fought in The Spanish-American War 128 years ago, and 4) I’ve met Dan Woog! Find someone who claim those 4 meetings.
Are you not able to make it Jack? You can take Amtrak from BWI to Stamford. And either MetroNorth to Westport or Uber.
Good luck.
Hello!
Is this for adults only or can kids join? What’s preferred?
Thanks!
Kids are always welcome … though there have not been many in the past. Bring ’em along!
