Does someone have archives or could we see a "Best of Billy Dennis" blog posts?

@Ptownliferalmost
 
Ugh...unfortunately most of Billy's best work (IMHO) is probably lost. Many years ago, he lost his original blog "Peoria Pundit" website and it is now run by someone who blogs in a language I can neither read nor understand. He has "The Peoria Pundit" & "Blog Peoria". Beyond those, I don't know. As you suggested maybe @CJSummers would have some insights. Also @peoriapundit may be able to assist as his sister obviously has access.
 
One of the most hilarious things I recall was when Randall Emert created the Peoria Anti-Pundit blog to refute (and antagonize) Billy. Billy got the wise idea to create the Peoria Anti-Anti Pundit blog (http://peoriaantiantipundit.blogspot.com/) which then, I believe, Randall created the Peoria Anti-Anti-Anti-Pundit blog. Obviously the latter 2 were short lived.

I'm not sure what to look for, but there is a site called "The Wayback Machine" that finds old archived websites. His stuff may be housed on there somewhere.

Hey folks, 1st time I've been able to log in, been dealing with a stomach flu bug for a few days. So sad about Billy, great guy. He was THE go-to guy if you wanted to start a blog. I enjoyed visiting with him at Starbucks when I could. Later today, I will link a CAPtions show with him and CJ as guests. Billy also was on a second time with Randall Emert. RIP Billy!

What do you say we organize a Blogger Bash to gather together and lift a glass (of Diet Pepsi, of course) to Billy?
 
@cjsummers
Yes! A blogger bash in his honor would be nice...
