Online "retreat" for those of you who can't join us

[Ann]

We'd love to bring a bit of the retreat online, so that those of you who can't join us in Vermont can also have fun and meet other BOTNS readers and listeners.

Please use this thread to help us brainstorm some ideas. Anyone want to volunteer to organize an online chat or something like that?

This sounds like an amazing idea - Im not going to be able to make it this time (Im hoping there will be more in the future that I will be able to attend!) I would love to join in on the internet xx

For those of us who are going and who have a blog and/or are on Twitter, maybe we could do some live "reporting" from the events? I'm willing to pitch in for this.

Also, perhaps the attendees could buddy up with a non-attendee and arrange to have a book signed for them at one of the author events?

Id be in for some twittering too - Although dependent on times as Im based in North East England so I might not be able to join everything - But I like that idea - And updates on your web site too? THanks

What about taping the talks with the authors and posting them on the BOTNS website for those of us who are unable to attend?
It's just a thought to kick around...

[Tandra]

ooh, I would like this

[Anna]

Me too - really good idea x

While I'd love to record everything, I'm not sure we have the technological ability. But we'll put it on the list to consider. Maybe we can find some audio/visual help.
