from the Arts Bloggers session

What better way to spend a three hour drive from Baltimore, Maryland, to Rockaway Beach, New York, than to do dramatic readings from a travel phrase book for gay men, a souvenir from the American Visionary Art Museum, the host of a fabelhaft reception for the Americans for the Arts Convention this past weekend.

OK, now you know how to say “fabulous” in German - fabelhaft!

I am pretty tired from the trip and two days of session overload. This is an annual conference that occurs in a different city each year and brings together a microcosm of arts thinkers, administrators, bloggers and People Who Have a Vested Interest in the Arts Who C’est Divin.

Sacre bleu!  You have just learned how to say “fabulous” in French - c’est divin!

As an attendee, I find myself in between sessions with my hand in the snack bowl more often than I care to admit but I did attend a few of the workshops and conversations.  On Saturday, I sat in on a session with arts bloggers in a discussion about topics including:

• balancing the personal voice and the organizational voice
• how often should you blog
• how do you achieve gravitas as a blogger
• the intersection between journalism and blogging

Do any of you have any experience with the above that you think might help others who are bewildered by blogging?

Please post a comment if you have something to share.

Thanks to my handy dandy iPad, I was able to check out the blog of everyone who spoke.

And with my newest divina app delight, Sketchbook Pro, I could capture drawings of people.
