Mixing books and the Internet: A blog and a tweetup

mencken.jpg

It's a good time to be a Smile, Hon, You're in Baltimore fan.  Not only do you have the 11th issue of the local zine due out about the 1st of June, creator William Patrick Tandy has started his own blog.

Just two days old, the site promises to be a nice resource for Baltimoreans: It branches out beyond the literary scene to include local events and concerts, while giving behind-the-scenes details of the zine. I've already bookmarked it.

And in other news, we've got a Baltimore Sun tweetup on our hands!

For those of you who'd like to share a drink with Mr. Rosenthal and myself, tonight's your chance! And no, you don't have to be on Twitter to enjoy our company. We'll be at the Windup Space along with many other Sun readers, reporters, photographers and editors from 6 p.m. till 9 p.m. There'll be drink specials and door prizes, and I'm likely to pop on over to Cyclops while I'm in the neighborhood.

We hope to see you there!

Thanks for the shout-out, Nancy! I would have certainly made the tweet-up last night, but for the fact I was covering something in Towson for work. Hope it was a great time for all. Next time!

About the blogger
Dave Rosenthal came to The Baltimore Sun as a business reporter in 1987 and now is the Maryland Editor. He reads a wide range of books (but never as many as he'd like), usually alternating between non-fiction and fiction. Some all-time favorites: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole; Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery; and anything by Calvin Trillin or John McPhee. He belongs to a book club with a Jewish theme.
