Bloggers do it BIG in Texas

KS, Summer, and I started talking about a ... wait for it...blog gathering. What! What!!

The weekend? April 9, 2010 (gasp!). All things fabulous in Austin, Texas where we can take in the sites, the sounds, the food, the drinks, and the awesome conversations over a long weekend. And how amazing of an opportunity finally meet your faves!



Some things on the potential agenda:
Austin Ghost Tours , Boat tours, Cavern site seeing , Museum of the Weird, all the Mexican you can handle, and of course maybe a Vineyard or even a beer brewery. And of course we could all stay together at a swanky (but inexpensive) hotel. A casual gathering of friends sharing great stores. Nothing fancy. No convention-ish bidnass. Just a whole lot of good conversation in a great city with some fabulous ladies.

Welcome to any and all! The more the merrier and the more the fun!

If you are game, email me at bist1115@yahoo.com or comment here and we can get the juices flowing. Once we know who can make it, everyone will be responsible for their own airfare, but we'll look into group rates for hotel accommodations. Please spread the word to any of your favorites.

We hope to see you ALL there.

This is SO great!! Austin would be a GREAT place to do this!! I would be interested in finding out more when the details become available! I live in Fort Worth...so it's about a 3 hour drive! :)

THIS IS JUST WEIRD! Because, I JUST made plans to go to AUSTIN to visit my old college roomie/best friend in April. I have never been to TX and she keeps saying i will love Austin. So ironic.

Tiffany said...

...and there goes grad school again. always getting in the way of anything fun. sounds awesome though...maybe next time!

SG said...

I would love to go and meet everyone and have a chance to see you as well but unfortunately I can't take any big trips until after the wedding, gotta save as much money as I can.

Marjorie said...

This sounds like so much fun! I sooo wish I could go, but we will actually be in Florida in April so that will use up a pretty nice chunk of vacay time and cashola. Now, if you ever want to stage a get together in Atlantic City.....I am so in!

ohh that's such a great idea...i hope you gals enjoy yourselfs

Jenni said...

Oh my goodness I would love to come, but its during an event at work so im not sure I could get out of it.... i'll have to see.....

Jenni said...

I am so interested. But I don't know if my bank account can handle it. Maybe as it gets closer (or even once the new year hits) I can assess how much plane tickets would be. Because spending a weekend in Texas with lots of fabulous chicks like yourselves sounds like so much fun. (Plus I've never been down south to Texas so it'd be a nice break from the snow that will still be dumping on Michigan).

Ela said...

eek! Just emailed you...

brooke said...

so basically i need to start looking into tickets SOON...oooofa!! YEY!

Jenn said...

I'm ALL IN! I live in Austin, so that makes it totally easy, right? I know I'm not one of your BFF's in the blog world, but I would LOVE to meet up and show you girls around my neck of the woods. Even if you don't want to invite me, I can email you some suggestions for best drinks, Mexican food, fun things around town, etc.!

Jenn said...

PS
The Mexican food link you have here does not even TOUCH the good stuff we have here. My favorite places are not even on the list...well, they're not on the first page, which means that they're not on the list...to me...
