Local bloggers (and their groupies) might recognize YULblog ... yulblog ... Yulblog ... however you capitalize it ... as a monthly meeting of local bloggers (and their groupies) for drinks, discussions and oggling iPhones.
But once upon a time it was also a website that republished Montreal-centric blog posts from its members. That part fell by the wayside because the people behind it (essentially Patrick Tanguay) didn't have enough time to maintain it (see Patrick's comment below).
Now, organization of Yulblog's monthly meetings is being handed over to the new, less busy hands of Michael Boyle, and the website is being relaunched tonight to coincide with this month's Yulblog meeting (8 p.m. at La Quincaillerie, 980 Rachel St. E., near Parc Lafontaine). It's worth braving early January weather to go see.
I hope.
Tonight is yet another edition of YULblog, the monthly get-together and drink-together (and then poutine-together) of Montreal's blogging community.
I hope to make it after work, though I'm in the middle of eight consecutive shifts right now (sweet, sweet overtime money, how I will enjoy spending you) and might be semi-conscious.
For those of you who haven't been to a YULblog before, here's an idea of some of the sights you might encounter at La Quincaillerie:

Dream Listener is proposing a "meet Neath" day where people can meet Neath.
It's planned for Sunday, Nov. 11, at 2pm at the Green Spot, 3401 Notre Dame in St. Henri. (Corner Greene, near Lionel-Groulx metro)
I like the idea. In fact, I think there should be more meet-bloggers-in-person nights (at least for those who don't regularly attend Yulblog meetings).
Laurent has put up video from the August Yulblog where he went around asking people what their favourite summer activity was. (He's been making the questions easier each month since people have had trouble answering -- he threatened to make next month's question "what's your favourite colour" if people were still having trouble)
Of course, what you're looking for is at 1:49: Me.
I got at least one comment that I wasn't recognizable from the nose up in that tiny photo at the top of my blog, so here you go. That's what I look like.
Ladies, the line starts here.
Montreal bloggers have some odd choices for fantasy vacations. (Marge Simpson? Really?)
Gimme some of this and some of that. Or maybe merge them somehow?
Speaking of YULblog, it seems Happy hates me. Why? Everyone loves me, especially dogs. Now you might argue (as Christelle did) that Happy has never met me before, and that it was in a bar packed with people and loud noises late at night. But I think it's because Happy is a stupid, mean dog. She doesn't even read this blog!
