On picnic were different rank bloggers. Why rank? Well in Latvia and Latvian writing blogs and web-journals (klab.lv ala livejournal.com) there were discussions about ranking and how to rank. For example, when I came to this picnic one of the first questions was “Do You have domain?” And like this it was all evening. No wonder, that I with my girlfriend left for a while, because our friend has nameday (Rūta).

When we came back, half of bloggers were gone.

I had already been in some other blogger meetings in Latvia, where were just some of them, approximately 10-15 persons (bloggers). On picnic were more, around 50 or even more.

Well thanks to Artūrs for wonderful evening! Specially, when beer there was for free! :)

Unfortunately we miss speech of Joha, when she announced about BarCamp Baltics (2), BridgeCamp 2. This could be interesting for me, but not for Undīne :)
