I met tons of great bloggers at GOE III, including FIAR from Radioactive Liberty and the man behind Sheepdog's Blog. I name those two first because I didn't grab pictures with them. I did however snag pictures with some of my favorites:

First up, Wild Bill from Passionate America spent quite a bit of time with me. Without him, we would've probably never found the hotel in DC, and he also served as my surrogate guardian in downtown DC, not that I needed one. Me and Bill:

And then there's Kat from CatHouse Chat. She was the other moving force behind my lodging arrangements, and I suppose the other half of my guardian team. At one point I believe she called herself my bodyguard. You can't find nicer (or crazier) folks to spend a weekend with:

I arrived early in the morning to the GOE III rally site at the mall, and I ran into the amazing team from Hot Air. I couldn't help but take a picture with Hot Air cameraman and driving power Bryan Preston:

Ok, ok, so he wasn't the most famous blogger there. The other half of the Hot Air power-team (no, not Allahpundit), was present and doing a great job. Michelle Malkin took a few minutes to talk to me and she actually knew who I was! She posed for a picture:

Finally, some bloggers are driving powers that most don't recognize. Luckily, I checked Hot Air before heading to GOE III and caught an interview between Michelle and the power behind Porkbusters and Victory Caucus. I caught up with N.Z. Bear and chatted with him for a while, and of course, got a picture:

There ya have it! Some of the most powerful and influential Conservative bloggers on the net showed up to the Gathering, and it was great spending time with them. Citizen journalists, citizen pundits, and citizen activists can be celebraties in their own right.
