He even mentions our Tucsoncitizen.com blogger “Three Sonorans” (David Morales) and former Tucsoncitizen.com blogger James Kelley. See David’s blog about this recent column, click here.

Brodesky further reveals the identify of “AZ Blue Meanie” over at Blog for Arizona, saying he is Tucson attorney Roger White. I suspected so for months but wasn’t sure. I knew AZ Blue Meanie was probably an attorney and a Democratic leader, from how he writes.

This is how Blog for Arizona describes AZ Blue Meanie:
“The Blue Meanie is an Arizona citizen who wishes, for professional reasons, to remain anonymous when blogging about politics. Armed with a deep knowledge of the law, politics and public policy, as well as pen filled with all the colors stolen from Pepperland, the Blue Meanie’s mission is to pursue and prosecute the hypocrites, liars, and fools of politics and the media – which, in practical terms, is nearly all of them. Don’t even try to unmask him or he’ll seal you in a music-proof bubble and rendition you to Pepperland for a good face-stomping.”

We’re not journalists as most of us have no journalism degrees, we’re bloggers and/or “citizen journalists”. See my earlier blog on our handbook, click here.

Thus, since December a few of us have been informally organizing blog parties to “meet and greet” each other, and form a sense of “community.” That’s right up my alley since I like to write about community events, and it’s been a lot of fun trying to match up the faces in person, with their respective blogsites. And also fun meeting talented writers.

Our next event in February is scheduled at the Sky Bar (536 N. 4th Avenue), where blogger “Logical Lizard” has been meeting and screening his “Meteorite Men” shows. He’s quite a TV personality on the Science Channel. I finally met him on February 3rd when he aired their show about the search for meteorites (not “meteor-wrongs”) in the nearby Santa Rita Mts.

The first December, 2009 gathering organized by “Humor: Fueled by Petrol” was at Coffee Exchange, 2443 N. Campbell Ave. And the second blog party in January was at the Ward 6 Council office (3202 E. 1st St.), organized by me, and assisted by “Urban Durband” aka “Meet Me Downtown” (no longer blogging with us as he now works there as an aide).

“Compound Captive” reported on the December event (click here), and “Veteran Veritas” chimed in for January (click here), calling us “citizen journalists”. He also eloquently wrote about December’s first blog party as well.

See you at the Sky Bar, which advertises itself as “an astronomy influenced solar powered planetarium bar.” It even has astronomy themed art on the walls by local artists Chrissy Goral and Gavin Troy.Hope you recognize me as “Carolyn’s Community”, and not some other blogsite.
