I just got back from the Blog United conference held at Christopher Newport University this weekend.
In my opinion, the conference was a tremendous success. The lion’s share of credit goes to Jim Hoeft who did more than his fair share of grunt work to make this event happen. Next, thank you to all of our sponsors who donated money that kept registration rates as low as possible. Also, thank you to Christopher Newport University who donated the university’s ballroom spaces to us. The CNU catering staff did a fantastic job providing delicious food and drink for us Saturday.
Thank you to all the public and party officials who addressed the conference. We all know that you’re very busy and we’re grateful you made time to visit our convention.
Finally thank you to all the bloggers who traveled far and wide to participate. I always enjoy this event because it gives me an opportunity to meet new friends and spend time with old ones.
Planning for next year’s conference is already underway. If you have any ideas, suggestions or just want to help plan please let us know. I can be contacted through contributors@virginiavirtucon.com.

Oh, I must remember my manners!
Jay at Virginia Virtucon’s thank you post reminds me that I must extend my sincere thanks to the men and women who took time from their political lives to attend the conference: LG Bill Bolling AG Bob McDonnell Sen. Creigh Deeds Del. Brian Moran Del. …
A big thank you for the rolling cooler and the BYOC. I had a great time. it was a pleasure meeting you and all the rest. Put me down for a seat next year. I will get a room in the same hotel, rather than sharing floor space and cabs.

You are so kind. I enjoyed seeing you again and having a pleasant, yet brief, discussion on policy after dinner on Saturday with a certain Delegate from Chesapeake.
You’ve got my email and the TARDIS LCARS is configured to let your mail come through….hope to hear from you!
