I'm going to be in Lebanon for 10 days or so. I would love to get a chance to meet the people here face to face. Would anyone be interested in a blogger meetup? Anyone? (well... almost anyone...)
I was about to suggest that very thing! I suppose we could work this if everyone leaves a comment about when they'd be in Lebanon and the rough location.
I was talking with Liminal about organizing such a meeting. You ruined the surprise :p! I know most of us are abroad, and some don't want to reveal their identities, but tell us when you'll be here exactly, so that we can agree with everybody on a specific date. Thinkingman, that is a great idea. I suggest you discuss it with our administrators abroad.
Any location is good for me... Byblos would be great :) and Beirut is ok too. I think late afternoon after work would be best for everyone? Or do you all prefer at night?
This week is really, really, really bad for me. But this weekend, ie after the 27 May, is perfect for me. I don't have a car, so getting to Jbeil is problematic. But anywhere in Beirut is perfect. If you haven't been here in a while, you need to check out Gemayze. We might also be able to commandeer the space in Olive (organic live), a health food shop on Abdul Wahab. Too bad the tents have been taken down, because Sa7et Shuhada would have been symbolic and would have allowed us to meet in a non-commercial location.

Ramzi: Always here. Beirut
This is a definite possibility. When do you arrive?
