I’ve had like 4 people in the last week ask me this question: “You going to BarCamp?”

The first time I was like “What in the crap is BarCamp?”

The second time I was like “I’m going to go read about some BarCamp.”

The third time I was like “BarCamp?  I think so.  Now what is that again?”

The fourth time I was like “BarCamp… BarCamp… I know I’ve heard of that, oh yeah, the blogging/new media event…”

Point is, with a name like BarCamp and a cool logo like that, I would think this thing would have been stuck in my brain by now.  Am I too busy?  Am I an idiot?  Don’t answer that last one.

Seriously though, can someone really explain this thing to me?  Is it really just a glorified local blogger meetup?  I’m not ripping the thing, I’m just trying to understand it.  Anyone have some good ol’ plain English to share?

So what about you?  Are you going to BarCamp Nashville?  ARE YOU???????
