A hot date with some cool chicks.
Posted on May 19, 2007
Filed Under Uncategorized |
Remember being in 8th grade? And one day the “cool kids” invite you to their table. On one hand, you’re super nervous but also excited. But on the other hand you can’t figure out for the life of you WHY they’ve asked you to join them. So you assume it must be their good deed of the day to suffer your company. And you’re scared they’re going to see what a dork you truly are and then ask you to leave?
No? Just me? (Awkward pause. Blushes. Ah, ok then.)
Friday night I had the great fortune to met up with the supercool St. Louis blogging babes Dana, Reba, and Jaelithe. I was so nervous, that first martini was imbibed in less than 10 minutes. (And it was awfully gracious for the ladies to pretend not to notice.)
But my nervousness quickly faded. These women are warm, witty, sweet, smart, fun, fascinating and so very, very pretty! Jaelithe is a soft-spoken, gentle soul who’s compassionate and very articulate. Reba is lively and enthusiastic with a wonderful sense of adventure. Dana is very animated, energetic, feisty and charismatic.
And all three have such pretty, pretty hair! I felt like I was busting up what could have been a shampoo commercial. I wish we could have talked for six more hours — I found myself on the edge of my seat the entire time.
There is something amazing about getting together with fellow bloggers — especially if you read them on a regular basis. You get to know their sense of humor, interests, and where they are in their life journey. So when you meet them you can jump right into topics that you know are of interest to everyone. You can discuss issues you don’t feel comfortable blogging about. You can ask the questions you’ve been dying to ask.
What’s great is the (in my experience thus far) unspoken understanding that conversations about the unblogable stuff are confidential. So you are able to speak freely and the experience feels more like catching up with old friends than meeting up with new ones. And the bonus? When you read their posts later, you have a voice to put with the written words. And you can picture their gestures or facial expressions too. How cool is that!
All in all, a fabulous night. Hope we can get together again soon. And hope Raquita, Stephanie, Melissa, Michelle, Linlee, Jenn, Kristie, and Andrea, Nancy can join us next time!

Gah, I wish I lived closer…
Looks like you had a really good time with some really fun people!!!!
Sounds like you had a great time! I’m glad and a little jealous.
I wish I lived closer!
You guys look/sound like you had a blast! I wish I lived closer ’cause it would be awesome to hang out with other bloggers. Can’t wait for blogher!
Hope this next week is better!
((((((((((Lisa))))))))))
you hve no idea how much I wish I had been there with you guys, bria is not a fan of mine lately - and having you guys witness the wonder taht is my throwing up would not have been fun.. But I’m glad you guys had a blast .
I’m so freaking jealous! I would love to meet some of the cool people I’ve ‘met’ around here!
Man, why can’t I live in St. Louis! Sounds like fun.
By the way, you all look fabulous.
Yay for the bloggity love!!! Yay for the beautiful St. Louis ladies!
Carrie
We had the nicest busboy.
I had a lot of fun. It was wonderful being around a group of women who don’t think you’re making a barf sound when you say “blog.” Next time, we all get drivers for the night. Mwha ha ha.
Makes me wish I lived in St. Louis.
Sorry about your crappy week … glad you had such a wonderful evening to balance it all out!!
I am so jealous! It sounds like you had a wonderful time. Good for you!
Now, anyone up for a road trip to the Northwoods of Wisconsin?
(I didn’t think so…)
So bummed I missed it!
I totally spazzed on this, but May has been a sucky month for planning stuff.
Next time Jenn and I will have to carpool or something.
I’m so jealous. Of the hair. But also that I couldn’t go.
Next time. Pinky swear.
I am glad you like my hair. I just got 7 inches cut off about a week ago. I am getting alot of “Oh my god why would you do that before your wedding” and “oh I didn’t notice”.
I had a fun time and agree with Dana about getting rides next time.
Oh, I’m so jealous! I would have loved to have made it (which I had planned on being there), but I have been so busy and by Friday night, I was worn out.
I will, MOST DEFINITELY, be at the next one.
Great picture by the way!
Next time maybe my husband can chauffeur all of us instead of just me. Heh.
If I was in a shampoo commercial, it was definitely a Suave commercial. (Because I am cheap about the hair products.)
What a fun time for you ladies! This just makes me wish BlogHer was here already!
Good times! I know what you mean — it is really nice when you can put the voice to the writing that you love so much. Jealous
Sounds like a blast, again I’m jealous that you’re able to meet up with bloggers. If I’m ever in STL I’ll be stalking you. But I could never be in a shampoo commercial. Ever. Unless I was the “before” hair. Does that mean I can’t join the club?
How fun would that be! Looks like there was a good time had!
Cool! Sounds like you had your own Official Blogger Party for the Midwest! Get all those other people together and you’ve got it made!
Our big blast is coming up on June 2nd for all the LA Bloggers. Hmmm, maybe you should think about a trip out
I think it’s great when all the people who write alone can finally get together to share all the experiences that just haven’t written down yet.
