For some reason Akismet thought you were a spammer... doh! At any rate, as someone new to this scene at the time, I can say that last year's Blogfest definitely felt like Atlantic Yards was the primary topic. While it is now obvious that Gowanus Lounge, for example, is covering development atrocities all over Brooklyn, last year I didn't know this. And I distinctly remember that the mere thought of bloggers in Flatbush seemed to elicit snickers from many... despite the fact that there were three of us there (and now there about 10 Flatbush blogs)! So, yes, from my point of view everything about this year's Blogfest was more diverse, and that is a good thing. Hey Norman, sorry it took so long to post your comment.

Houston is coming along in laying down a solid bike network. I commute often from West Belfort to Clay in houston on my bike, it's hard but people are more sympathetic, it's the truck drivers who are bastards. *Independence* Give the guy some time to realize that incorporating a bike into his commute can be better, eventually the bike will become his main means of commuting.

Yes, these are the bike lanes I covet... when I visited Germany and the Netherlands for the first time I remember the fantastic feeling of freedom that came with being able to get anywhere SAFELY on a bicycle. Brooklyn deserves these lanes and lots of them. Thanks guys!!

Eric, I watched the Gardenfork piece about perennials and am hooked. I love podcasts, so this will make for great subway listening! Olivia, I'm much perkier after TWO of those peanut butter chocolate crispy vegan dessert thingies. Red Mango Bakery rocks! Can't wait for the vegan blogade! Hey guys!
