San Francisco Party on Monday
If you’re in San Francisco or the Bay Area, you should come celebrate with us Monday as we ring in one meeeeellllion blogs. (As well as the release of version 2.2 on .org and the 4 year birthday since the first public release of WordPress!)
We’re going to be at a fun dive bar in Potrero Hill called Thee Parkside. You can sign up here on Upcoming. (The neighborhood is so cool it even has its own WP blog.)
The festivities will start around 8 PM, so come on out and I’ll buy you a beer.

Congratulations! I’ve been very impressed with WordPress since I started using it a few months ago. Infinitely better than Blogger who I used to use.
Thanks for the invite but I won’t be able to make it as I live in Cyprus. Please send money for beer instead.

Congratulations! We did it. It “Takes Seconds and is Free!” It has been so easy. Then, “register another blog.” It is so enticing. Yes, individuals like you, and individuals like us, together we shoot the number to…in the expression of Matt, I quote: “one meeeeellllion blogs”. During the celebration, please together we sing the song by Frank Sinatra, and change the “I” to “We”. Yeah, “and we did it our way…..” Although I am in Malaysia, and not any place or space near the San Francisco or the Bay Area, please know that I am drinking my beer, virtually, here, near every bloggers a major part of the magic number, who love wordpress.com so ever much and more.

Wow. I used to live down in the Mission District (19th and Florida) and humped up Potrero Hill to bar hop at night. Waaaaaaay back in the mid 80s. I worked at the Lou Pierson Sculpture Studio as a sculptor, whipping out Lou’s art from models and drawings. I think one of the bars used to be called “Top of the Hill.”
Thanks for the blast from the past. Sorry I can’t make the party.
