SQPN meetup (with pictures)

This past Monday, the folks at SQPN had their bard of directors meeting in Conyers, GA. Since they had some many of the podcasters in one place, they organized a meetup. It was setup for 5:30-7:30 at the Kaiteur Coffeehouse in Conyers. Being the fool I am, I drove the four hours down to Atlanta to attend. It tunred out not to be foolish at all. Everyone was very friendly and gracious I had taken the time to drive down.

Maria Johnson was kind enough to take some photos for me since i was having trouble with Suzette’s camera. Here they are:

Me and Fr. Roderick

This is me with Fr. Roderick, the founder of SQPN and a podcaster with many shows. He’s probably most known for first the Catholic Insider, then his Daily Breakfast. I never go a day with Fr. Roderick’s Daily Breakfast. I’m still confused though. Is he really Mormon?

Me and Fr. Bill

This is me with Fr. Bill Kessler, who does the Technopriest podcast. It’s always interesting to hear his comments on life as an over-worked pastor who has a gadget obsession. I have to say though, the best part are the homilies. The man can write some awesome homilies.

Me and the Willits

Here I am with Greg and Jennifer Willits. They the Rosary Army podcast. Jennifer is also the host of That Catholic Show, which Greg produces.

If you haven’t seen That Catholic Show, click on the name and go check it out. Greg, Jennifer and everyone else involved do a wonderful job with it.

Me, Mac and Greg

Since I’ve been in every picture, you already know me. You also just saw Greg in the last shot. But the guy in the middle is guy who forgot the microphones. He’s Mac Barron. He and his wife do the podcast Catholic in a Small Town. It’s one of the funniest podcasts I listen to. Mac and Katherine are a hoot to chat with and are just a funny in real life as they are on the podcast.

Not pictured….And I don’t know how we missed out on this….But I didn’t get a picture with Paul Camarata of the SaintCast. Paul does a great job of letting us know about the saints in way that’s easy to understand and inspiring, as the saints should be. He travels some too and will do “sound seeing tours” of sites such as churches where he goes.

I did get a couple of humorous pics on the trip too.

Here’s one of Fr. Roderick trying to tune in to the latest episode of “Lost”.

Fr. Roerick bunny ears

Here’s one I took at a rest stop on the way back. It just struck me as odd. I guess they must have had a lot of problems with dogs doing their business on the hydrant.

no pets?

Anyway, I had a great time. If there was any way I could’ve gone without driving in Atlanta traffic, then it would’ve been perfect. I want to thank everyone at SQPN for being so friendly and gracious.
