It's getting to be time to plan the 2008 Kidlit Bloggers Conference in Portland, Oregon. We hope that all who attended last year will return, and we hope to see new folks too. If you blog about children's books (or YA), or if you are a writer of children's books (or YA) who blogs -- we'd love to see you there.<br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvu4z6T_8Z1xMB5O4y5x2DuiBGCbDpW48WR8W2jHDlQuY1e63tG_1GGkdEScpdYeMtr6iS1J_qwnKdp-HyjHT5METsXOgwp7vBmS0ArFWPZj9z2grHUtW6wJa6so0WQ9AvfLBi8LSKa02E/s1600-h/AX048163.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203256264414794082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvu4z6T_8Z1xMB5O4y5x2DuiBGCbDpW48WR8W2jHDlQuY1e63tG_1GGkdEScpdYeMtr6iS1J_qwnKdp-HyjHT5METsXOgwp7vBmS0ArFWPZj9z2grHUtW6wJa6so0WQ9AvfLBi8LSKa02E/s320/AX048163.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><u><big>Details</u></big><br /><b>The date:</b> Saturday, September 27, including banquet-style dinner that night<br /><b>The place:</b> We're making the final decision about the hotel as soon as we get an idea of attendance. If we can get as many folks as last year (or more), we're shooting for either the Embassy Suites or Sheraton near the airport in Portland. One of the great things about Portland is that the airport is only a few miles from downtown and is easily accessible by the MAX (light rail). (The hotels are also right by the new IKEA, by the way.) Sign up quick so we can move on the Embassy Suites -- it's a great spot, with good conference rooms, complimentary happy hour cocktails, good breakfast included, and a little brook that flows through the lobby!<br /><b>The event:</b> We'll need lots of feedback before we decide on the day's discussions. One thing we'd like to do is establish two separate "tracks" -- one for <i>reviewer</i> bloggers, and one for <i>author</i> bloggers, with the opportunity to mingle and learn from each other. We'll have two meeting rooms, so we can break out into two groups for parts of the day.<br /><b>Friday night:</b> We absolutely must convene at the famous and wonderful <a style="COLOR: rgb(255,102,102)" href="http://www.powells.com/citytour.html">Powell's Books</a> on Friday evening, and get together for dinner at the neighboring brewery after. We will try to set up a group author event for that night, depending on who's attending. We'll keep you posted as it develops.<br /><b>Sunday brunch:</b> Depending on interest, we can set up a last get-together on Sunday.<br /><br />Portland is <i>beautiful</i> in September, and it's a really easy city to get around in without a car. If you bring a spouse or your family they'll be able to get downtown or to the zoo and Washington Park on the light rail. It's also only about a half hour drive from the airport to the fabulous Columbia River Gorge, famous for its waterfalls and amazing hikes and views:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0-BauxfDHH-lWDe7XiDzW5lTy-qBPJEB-HM6f3Q0tnwkknRd5wGr65rp5tGV6QRwUo86DYwvlix8AMJdsduaUDtmDgf3oKdQ05IZjSOleZlkOi6zn9M5wqWMa81vfivM0uhkUAIIKYiqA/s1600-h/040530-198..jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203253992377094466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0-BauxfDHH-lWDe7XiDzW5lTy-qBPJEB-HM6f3Q0tnwkknRd5wGr65rp5tGV6QRwUo86DYwvlix8AMJdsduaUDtmDgf3oKdQ05IZjSOleZlkOi6zn9M5wqWMa81vfivM0uhkUAIIKYiqA/s320/040530-198..jpg" border="0" /></a> (If you rent a car, there's a great loop drive up the Gorge and around Mount Hood, where you can see the hotel where The Shining was filmed. It'll also be apple and pear season in the orchard country there on the slopes of Mount Hood: <i>beautiful</i>.) The stunning Oregon coast is only an hour and a half drive west; I highly recommend an extra day to see it:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW21mtUHr-9nWp-MFg83gfam_SoVjk3bj6vcYZvnnp32oSZs_M-aWk_r8Ys_N_u4dkbVnFlylDhuTypgHKrk02rfbZv3TBTSqVTnE8GDATQ9twOdysktdtKteHyYJF1AwxMzCXju79w2Ny/s1600-h/C6CT3128.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203254361744281938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW21mtUHr-9nWp-MFg83gfam_SoVjk3bj6vcYZvnnp32oSZs_M-aWk_r8Ys_N_u4dkbVnFlylDhuTypgHKrk02rfbZv3TBTSqVTnE8GDATQ9twOdysktdtKteHyYJF1AwxMzCXju79w2Ny/s320/C6CT3128.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />What we need to know now, so we can really plan, is: who's coming? We'll need a certain number of attendees to be able to afford the hotel facilities, so we can't really proceed until we get some yays and nays. So, if you are definitely planning to come, please sign into the comments below and let us know. The conference fee will be $50 and will cover the facility rental, coffee, and dinner on Saturday night. Hotel rates are still uncertain but are likely to be in the $109-$119 range, including breakfast.<br /><br />More details coming soon, but for now, we'd just love to know if you think you can come!<br /><br /><small>(If you do sign in, leave your name as you'd like it to appear below, plus your blog link.
