Event Details

FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

Friends - It is with great sadness that we gather Friday evening to mourn the passing of BlogPotomac. We welcome people who did and did not attend the final BlogPotomac for a Wake.

To officiate, we hope that Rabbi Geoff Livingston might be able to attend (although his last online video was a little much). Rabbi Livingston will be represented by great nephew Geoff Livingston, who is reponsible for conferences called BlogPotomac (now deceased). By the way, many in the Social Media community and Twitterverse suspect him in BlogPotomac's untimely demise.

Since the Conference is expected to pass away in its sleep towards the end of a busy Friday, we will gather at Bear Rock Cafe - Westlee, 2200 N. Westmoreland St., Arlington, VA 22213 for a Wake. We'll eat some sandwiches and pizza and drink Sam Adams beer and whine. Whoops, I mean wine.

The family and friends of BlogPotomac are a thirsty bunch - would you and your comany like to donate $100-$200 to the memorial eating and drinking fund? Any extra money will be donated to charity:water www.charitywater.org.

This will be a informal gathering (although no shoes, no shirt = no service) that relies heavily on practices of Irish Wakes and African-American Second Line New Orleans parades for the deceased.

The family requested the following song be played in memorial (RIP ODB & BP):

 

Those of the Jewish faith (including one of the hosts and several guests) may need to wait for formal mourning to begin since Friday is our Sabbath.

If you would like to hear the Mourner's Kaddish, check out the RealPlayer recording of Cantor Pinchas Rabinovicz chanting Mourner's Kaddish

On Saturday, please say the following:

"Yehai shmeh rabba mevarakh lealam ulalmay almaya"  which some would incorrectly translate as:

"May BlogPotomac's great name be blessed for ever, and to all eternity"

If you've never heard of Geoff Livingston (@geoffliving although his conference is DEAD):

Geoff has worked as a public relations strategist in the Washington, D.C. region for 15 years. Dubbed a “local blogging guru” by the Washington Post, Geoff’s award-winning book on new media “Now is Gone” was released in 2007. The book has been cited by the Wall Street Journal as a valuable resource for social media. Some of his experiences include Bartleby Books, United Way, Save Darfur, the Consumer Electronics Association, Ford Motor Company, the Washington Nationals, Network Solutions, Sully Erna (Godsmack lead singer), Verizon Wireless and many others. As Senior VP, he dables in social media for CRT/tanaka http://www.crt-tanaka.com/about/livingston.php.
