Party in “the ‘lou”!
T’was 11 nights before Christmas and all through “The ‘lou”
Certain bloggers were driving to get together for brew.
They met at Llewellyn’s to talk and to laugh.
They discussed lots of things, like their beloved craft.
People reconnected with blog friends of yore
And met new friends and gabbed even more.
Um… Yeah. That’s all I got. Sorry. Kinda short on completion time. But as you can glean from the first few lines, a bunch of us St. Louis bloggers got together to hoist pints and talk of all things bloggable and at times, unbloggable. T’was fun. Very, very fun.
A few yards from the Webster Groves bar, A bun’s life, Kristie and I met up with Raquita and her hubby Jerry. As the five of us walked in, we soon found many familiar faces (Farrell, Jaelithe and Rebecca were already there).
I finally got to meet a blogger I’ve been reading a while now. I also got to meet a blogger I’ve been reading since Octoberish. (These are the two hot chicks that organized the shin-dig. They did a FABULOUS job by the way. And let me tell you, they are both sweet, very pretty, and great fun to chat with.)
Oh and Dana and her hubby (who was dubbed “The Sexy”) were there too.
And you know what else was really cool? Talking with Kurt Greenbaum who works at the Post-Dispatch and does social media over there.
I didn’t get to meet any other bloggers. Course that was mainly because I ducked out after about 90 minutes. But it would have been super awesome to meet this man and this chick and this chick as I’ve heard many great things about these peeps. There is also a woman I wanted to talk with but I don’t know her name – I think she might be with the Post as well? (Long brown hair, glasses.) The hubby, boy, and I had another social appointment lined up afterwards. So we set out on our way.
Hopefully (Hint, hint!) this will be the first of many (hint, hint!) get togethers St. Louis blogger style!
P.S. Speaking of blogging get-togethers and booze…. Is it true that San Fancisco will host BlogHer in 2008?

From the pictures I’ve seen, it looks like you all had loads of fun chatting it up.

Sounds like a wonderful evening. I wish I could have made it. I was singing in the Christmas Concert at church that night. I would so much like to meet you sometime. Please keep me posted about future get-togethers!

Next time, you will NOT be dragged away early, and thanks again for my beverage.
I owe you one.

Your poem is cute!
I love your site, hun, but please! do something to fix it so it loads faster and doesn’t crash my IE session? Please?
Yes, I’ve heard San Fran is the place to be!

I’m a wee bit north of you (Wisconsin), so if you ever meet up this way, I’ll join you. Sounds like fun time!

Hi! I live in Alton and was wondering how to get in on this StL blogger group. Sounds like you’re a fun group!

Hey! A friend of mine found you and pointed me in your direction because of the STL connection. I’ve been dying to meet other STL bloggers. Please let me know about the next one. I’m a pretty good party planner (experienced partier, you could say) so I even volunteer to help with the next one.
