This afternoon I attended the Bed-Stuy meetup of the Brooklyn Blogade. Today's event was organized and hosted by Petra of Bed-Stuy Blog, Eleanor Traubman of Creative Times, and Joanna Wissinger (Alexa11221 on Bed-Stuy Blog).

Bloggers seemed almost to be in the minority at today's event, which drew neighbors, journalists, and other blog-readers, as much as bloggers.

Le Toukouleur Restaurant


We met this afternoon at Le Toukouleur, a French-African Restaurant, at 1116 Bedford Avenue, on the corner of Quincy Street in North Bed-Stuy. The space offered lots of art and objects as subjects for photography.
