Bible Bloggers Get Together at SBL-Boston

Here I am near Boston, a guest of Biblical blogger Calvin Park who, along with his wife Mandy, are students at Gordon-Conwell in Wenham MA. Calvin and I enjoy talking shop so much we skip meals without hardly noticing. This morning we are heading out to take in some ASOR meetings, the Harvard Semitic Museum, and the book displays assuming they are already set up at the Hynes Convention Center on Boylston Street.

If a get together for bloggers has already been organized by someone, Calvin and I missed it. Michael Halcomb at Pisteoumen talked about Sunday evening in a post, which suits Calvin, Mandy, and I just fine. So please, meet up with us at the main entrance leading to the book displays on Sunday Nov 23, at 7:00 pm. From there we'll go to one of the many excellent eateries in the vicinity, make jokes about Jim West, and talk about all things biblical and bloggable. Hope to see you there.

I and my lovely wife will meet you all there (though I'm sad that it means missing Jonathan Smith's presidential address).

I'm glad I decided to check my e-mail. Here's what Michael Halcomb already organized: http://michaelhalcomb.blogspot.com/2008/11/sbl-bible-bloggers-sunday-night-dinner.html
