No Longer “In-The-Know”

Dear Miss A,

I recently moved from DC to Boston and was hoping you knew of a fellow blogger who can keep me informed of the latest charity events and hot-spots around here as your blog does for DC. I miss being in-the-know here!

Thanks,

Left My Heart In D.C.

Dear Left My Heart In D.C.,

Thank you so much for reaching out with this question. It would be great if there were a network of ladies “in-the-know”, so that you could move from city to city and feel like you weren’t missing a beat. I’m sure in the next few years something like this will be developed.

I thought I’d post your question on AskMissA.com, so that my Boston readers might see your question. I’m hoping they’ll post comments about some great Boston blogs that will put you back “in-the-know”.

Until we find a great Boston blogger, you should consider joining the Junior League of Boston, a professional organization related to your field, your college alumni organization in Boston, or volunteer your time with some Boston charities. This will help you meet new people, and find a new core group of girlfriends who can put you “in the know”.

I wish you the best! I know it’s hard being uprooted and having to start all over again.

- Miss A

    This is a guy’s blog in Boston that is fairly raunchy but they do have events listed where the reader could meet folks: http://barstoolsports.com/. She could even E-mail them and explain her situation and if they know of any more suitable blogs. Use a nondescript E-mail address in case they post it.

  • The best way for this girl to join a network of local bloggers is for her to utilize the power of social networking. Depending on her age, she can join Twenty-something bloggers social networking site. They have a group of 81 bloggers from Boston: http://20somethings.ning.com/group/bostonbloggahs?page=1#comments

    If she needs more info on other sites she can use, tell her to email me.
