Okie Blogger Round-up?
There are no plans to reproduce an Okie Blogger Round-up to the extent of last year’s event (workshops, etc.). However, if anyone has a suggestion for a simpler blogger get-together, let’s hear it. A 2007 Okie Round-up blog is available for your input.

Stupid residency rules… why in the world should that matter… I’m going to start my own competition and call it
“Currently not living in Oklahoma but want an Okie Blog Award Awards”
It’s going to be HUGE!!! That should teach you a lesson!

While I am currently working outside the state, I am still a resident of the state. How does that affect me?

Since you did post on your blog while living in OK within 60 days prior to the start of nominations, you are legally an Okie blogger for 2007, OL.
If you really wanted an Okie Blog Award, Jet, you’d move to Oklahoma for a few days every July.
August 10th, 2007 at 7:10 am
Yeah, JetShack.
You want an Okie Blog Award, you gotta come here and suffer along with the rest of us. If the heat doesn’t kill you, the local sportscasters might.

I’ll take the heat in Tulsa vs the heat and humidity in Houston any day of the week. I’d also take OK weather in general where there are 4 distinct seasons vs the hot / unfreakingbelievably hot / hot /generally not as hot but still 80 in december seasons we get down here.
What about this… What if I visited the folks in June and posted from their house once? (I didn’t but I could say I did.)
Or what if I had a “guest” blogger on that made a post about how unbelievably Okierific I was… spreading the good news of OK everywhere I go. How I’m able to tie OK into nearly every conversation that pops up. Sort of an Okie missionary living among the infedels…
(the sportscaster there do suck…)

I’ve tried to comment at the official Round-up site, but it won’t let me. So I’ll say it here, I’m all for meeting in Tulsa this time around! Last year, Tater and I drove home after the shindig and frankly, sleeping a couple of hours at the Stroud McDonald’s is not something I’d like to repeat this year, lol.
JetShack, I think you could be onto something….go for it! Living amongst the infidels should qualify you for sainthood anyway.

I thought living in Oklahoma *was* living among the infidels?
*scratches head in puzzlement*
August 12th, 2007 at 10:16 pm
I’d come to Tulsa.
August 13th, 2007 at 2:34 pm
I wouldn’t mind driving to Tulsa.

Today I put those ass-ugly dream catcher license plates on my car.
I am now officially an oklahomite.

*hands goldie a sympathy card and a cookie*

I second the idea of having some type of get together in Tulsa instead of OKC for the awards this year. I will even show up in person!
August 14th, 2007 at 9:27 am
so, people really go to this blogger thing? interesting.
August 23rd, 2007 at 11:58 am
I sure hated missing it last year, lots of folks turned out!
