What to Expect at the Brooklyn Blogfest on May 8th at the Brooklyn Lyceum

The Brooklyn Blogfest is an annual gathering of bloggers, blog readers, those interested in blogging and those passionate about Brooklyn.

This year’s event is at the Brooklyn Lyceum on Fourth Avenue and President Street just steps from the R train’s Union Street station.

Come one, come all. There’s a suggested donation of $10 and only $5 for students. There will be light refreshments and other goodies from Maria’s Mexican Bistro, Red Mango Bakery, Brooklyn Fudge, and beer courtesy of Outside.in

Blue Barn Pictures is also a sponsor of the Blogfest.

The 90-minute program also includes the annual Shout Out, a chance for new bloggers to spread the word about their blogs to the world. Afterwards there will be plenty of time for networking, beer and conversation.
