Boston Sports Blogapalooza

Boston Sports Blogapalooza II was held on Saturday, November 6, 2010 at The Baseball Tavern in the shadows of Fenway Park. From noon until well past 7pm, over 100 New England sports bloggers, sports journalists, TV personalities and fans converged in one location to talk sports and network. It was another great and successful event bringing together this ever growing community.

Palooza II Testimonials

I was looking very forward to the event and it was everything I imagined and more. I am looking forward to May, but hopefully won’t have to wait until then to see some of the great individuals I met

– Carl Desberg of Boston Sports Then & Now

Man, this event is probably one of my favorite things to attend. Thanks to the hard work and diligence of Mr. Joe Gill, this event has transformed from a small networking event in May to THE sports blogging event of the New England area.

– Kisha Tapangan of Necessary Roughness

I just want to thank all of the great bloggers who took the time to do on camera interviews for Pixelwiremedia. Boston is a great sports town, and these new media writers are truly adding insightful and unique perspectives to the conversations we Boston sports nuts are having on a daily basis. Thanks Boston Sports Bloggers!
