Just leave a comment here if you think it&#8217;d be fun to get together and celebrate.<\/p>\n<p>Who knows?

I can&#8217;t fly up to join you all in Boston, though I&#8217;d really love to meet some of you kidlitosphere (and otherwise) bloggers in the Boston area. But is there anyone, by chance, in the Nashville area who wants to meet up? I don&#8217;t think there are any Cybillers out there from this area, but I could be wrong. Anyone else? Anyone? Anyone? (&#8220;Anyone? Something-d-o-o economics. &#8216;Voodoo&#8217; economics&#8221; . . . but <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0091042\/quotes\">I digress<\/a><\/strong>).  <\/p>\n<p>And, as lame as this sounds, I&#8217;d prefer to meet up during the day. I&#8217;ll explain why to anyone who might want to get together if, uh, anyone&#8217;s out there??
