Christine, who writes the blog PurpleCar is coming to Accordion City
with her husband tomorrow. They’re attending a wedding on Saturday, but
they’ll have Friday night free, and they don’t know anyone in town.
Furthermore, Christine tells me that as someone who recently started
blogging, she has never met a real live blogger in person.

(Cue the nattering of cynics who say she’s fortunate.)

She contacted Boss Ross,
who unfortunately is skipping town to be a wedding guest himself, but
he referred her to a guy who likes to meet new people: me. I meeting up
with Christine and her husband at Smokeless Joe (125 John Street.
on the east side, between Richmond and Adelaide, across the street from
the Paramount Theatre and Chapters) at 6:00 p.m.. We’ll start there and
who knows where we’ll end up. If you want to join us, drop me a line,
or better yet, just drop by!

(If you want to join in and want to be sure you catch us, my cellphone number is 416-948-6447.)

Christine has an entry about the meetup here, as Ross has his here.
