And, they'd better have at least one head of state reading their blog regularly to make the claim, right? But maybe that's the problem. Maybe to be creme de la creme you have to be persecuted (is there persecution in Bahrain), an underdog, or something? Maybe the Black Iris too acceptable to the mainstream (uncomfortable invitations to have coffee notwithstanding)? At any rate, I agree, let's host them all in Jordan, remind them that we are, in fact, part of the Arab World, and show them what an awesome blogosphere we have!

What electricity? As far as I remember, we live in tents and use camels for long journeys. (except to places where its hard to find a parking space). On a more serious note, I think your idea of bringing people to Jordan is excellent! You have the power to a host such an event. DO IT! :) Lol, electricity? What electricity?
