LA Times holds a secret meeting with pizza

Or, nomination for worst publicity effort of the month. It took a guy emailing me from Chicago for me to find out that there is a free "Meet the Bloggers" party on Thursday at the L.A. Times building downtown.

So if you're a blogger - and who isn't?! - you might want to check this out. Even includes free parking under the Times building, and the first panelist they're offering up for your delectation is the surprising Luke Ford.

Hat tip to Fishbowl LA for getting the details here, and if you're as nosy as me, you'll also want to check out Facebook for pictures of many of the attendees.

Join local Southern California bloggers in what is sure to be a lively round table discussion. Participants will get a chance to question the speakers as well as share their own opinions and ideas. It will be an insightful night into the life of a blogger (and we might even find out the answer to the big question: are they making any money?)

Did we mention we will have free pizza and head over to a cool bar afterwards?

See ya.
