New Blog: Hwy61.wordpress.com
So, wow.
Two of the bloggers at the ol' Websterbloggers.com site, Matthew Hurst and Gabe Bullard, are rowing together in a new blog forum: hwy61.wordpress.com. Half the team was located at Mangia Italiano's lunch today and reported that the domain name might shift soon, but the blog's up-and-running, as is, with several posts popping up since the May 21 debut.
Here's a brief description of the site from the first post: "Welcome to Highway61.com (domain pending), your online crossroads between St. Louis' cultural heritage and what otherwise might be called youth culture. Formed using the remnants of WebsterBloggers.com, this site expands upon that legacy to offer a unique take on the happenings in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, Earth. That being said, you might expect to find any matter of concert reviews, local events, pictures, interviews, and general drunken revelry here (see also: this initial post). In the meantime, please look forward to posts almost totally unlike this rather akward first post (spelling errors, warts, and all)."
Sniff, sniff. These two make me feel that my springtime Wednesday afternoons were well-spent. Go get 'em, boys.
funny, i had the impulse to head up there today but didn't follow up on it. thanks for the support - you'll be glad to see this blog has been in our blogroll all along.
just what st louis didn't even know it wanted yet - another well written local blog (like there weren't enough already)...

Posted by domain on Thu., Jun 7, 2007 at 11:07 PMi'm always reluctant to reveal promises that i can't keep for certain. needless to say, we'd like to earn the domain that's our namesake someitme when it comes up for renewal (ie soon)...
then again, Mr/Mrs Domain, the use of redirect means we could change our name with relative ease if need be the case...

Hwy61 is not just me and Gabe. We're a communal blog, accepting submissions from other contributers as well. Lauren Reid is another contributer to the blog, and we're awaiting Mr. Ben's contributions as well. Lauren is a broadcast journalism student and sometimes blogger, whilst Mr. Ben is the author of Freezerburn zine. Just thought I'd use the opportunity to clarify that
