Drinks With Bloggers: A Success Story

As you may have heard, last night was the much anticipated, first ever, Drinks With Bloggers at Cat & Fiddle. Organized by myself and Pauly D., it was well attended and I do believe a good time was had by all. It was really cool to meet bloggers in person, especially some whose blogs I have read for years.

Other bloggers in attendance (in totally random order): Dan, Meaghan, Marissa, Charlie, Lindsay, Slappar, Jessica, Keith, Justin and his girlfriend Kristin (link?), Jason, Nanette and her fiance Brent, Neil , Mike, Joel, annabel lee, Kevin, Mary, and my sister Bethany (not a blogger), who made a super quick appearance so we could swap cars. Yay for my Civic!

Highlights:

  • When Justin and Kristin walked in and Justin loudly asked, “Is this the blogging group?” Shhh!
  • Being told by Nanette and Brent that a nice Jewish boy (who happens to be married with a child, but whatever), is my new boyfriend.
  • Meeting Dan and Meaghan after reading their blogs for years only to find out they are moving back to Boston in a few months.
  • Finally meeting Paul in person after planning this whole thing via IM.

Please let me know if I forgot anyone–apologies in advance. And thanks for coming out, it was a great time and I’m glad I got to meet everyone! And if you’d like to be included in the next shindig, let me know.

It was a great time, although today I’m feeling bad about the 3-4 people I didn’t actually meet…

First of all, so not my fault. Secondly, how much did you drink?

Thanks so much for organizing! It was great to finally meet you. (And I thought you’d have curly hair too for some reason.)

Just to set the record straight–I am a proud member of the Jewfro posse. However, yesterday, the flat iron and low humidity were my friends.

I drank at least fourteen beers. I think.

Pauly — there is no such thing as drinking too much. And you honestly seemed totally fine, unless you waited until after I left to start getting truly feshnickered (as my good friends in NYC call it).

Thanks for the link/shout out Hilz!

Fourteen beers? Sorry, with all due respect to Joel, but that’s too much.

Esther, but when 14=3, it’s okay.

I think my favorite part was watching Justin grovel for the position of ’site of the week.’ ;-)
