potentially interesting and useful new regional groupblog project: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.metroblogging.com\/\" title=\"metroblogging\">Metroblogging<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  event listings to general rants, photos to reviews &#8211; metblogs are a hyper-local look at what&#8217;s going on in the city. a group of regional bloggers give each site a new perspective on daily life. less calendar listing, more friendly advice.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/chicago.metblogs.com\/\" title=\"chicago.metroblogging\">Chicago<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogging.la\/\"

looking for local writers.<\/p>\n<p>Could be good, could be little more than a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/community\/seattle\/\" title=\"Seattle Community\">regional LiveJournal community<\/a> with a set list of contributors (though I hope it grows beyond that). We&#8217;ll just have to see as they grow and evolve.<\/p>\n<p>Back when I lived in Anchorage and was webmaster for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.djwudi.com\/gigs\/\" title=\"Gig's Music Theatre\">Gig&#8217;s Music Theatre<\/a> site, I toyed for a while with creating a similar site for Anchorage, keeping track of events, venues, bands, hangouts, and the like (in fact, there&#8217;s actually some slight evidence of the project, in a request for a photo of Anchorage to use for a header graphic in the Schedule\/News section of the Gig&#8217;s site). Unfortunately, at the time my technical skills weren&#8217;t up to what I had in mind, and the project ended up falling by the wayside. Metroblogging looks to be fairly similar to what I had in mind at the time, so I&#8217;m definitely interested in keeping an eye out on this one.<\/p>\n<p>Years ahead of everybody else, and nobody will ever know.
