Well the conference is over, and the Rising Tide Blog begins its roll. (Hey Po' Blog, want to join the party? You seemed into the idea.)
Being a gathering of bloggers we even have some lovely detailed notes and quotes provided by both Maitri (the loud indian girl) and Scout Prime (one of our favorite adopted NOLABloggers). So as of this evening here are links to the posts made about the first Rising Tide:
Maitri - Liveblogging and retrospective presented with her legendary attention to detail. If you want the rundown on what you missed look here:

The Rising Tide Conference is an annual gathering for all who wish to learn more and do more to assist New Orleans' recovery. Leveraging the power of bloggers and new media, the conference is a launch pad for organization and action. Our day-long program of speakers and presentations is tailored to inform, entertain, enrage and inspire.
How can I help?
ReplyDeleteAwesome to discover this blog. I'll post about it as soon as I get a chance. Anything to spread the word about what this admirable and intrepid group is doing. I just am amazed at the disconnect by what I see in mainstream papers versus in blogs by folks in the New Orleans area.
ReplyDeleteSo thanks to you all for your efforts to make positive changes in the community there.
