PNW Bloggers Meetup: Success!

Posted on | September 20, 2011 | 21 Comments

we did it! we planned a get together and it went off without a hitch. we had a wonderful turnout, a great venue, wonderful photog to snap photos and do a photo booth, and best of all – a group of amazing, funny, sweet bloggers. a big thank you to Talaricos in west seattle for accommodating us, having enormous pizzas (holy COW), a lovely server who got us drinks with a quickness and a for putting up with a gaggle of lady bloggers so darn well.

this is just a handful of the photos. aren’t they great? huge thank you to Jessica for doing such a great job with the photobooth and taking candid shots of our evening (all photos in the post by Jessica!). the photobooth pics made me snort out loud when i went through them. so good!

who are all these crazy people? here’s a list of the ladies who came (so those of you who were there can find eachother, and so those of you who weren’t can peruse some great new blogs):

moorea from moorea seal, leanne from rave and review, elizabeth from delightfully tacky,  mandy from a sorta fairytale, erika from rouge and whismsy, erika from bird e studios, heidi from me as a mother, martha from marthametzler.com,  meghan from chasing quinn, emily from peck life, autumn from playing house full time, chelsea from the curly cues, tracy from liberating working moms, mariah from a splendid endeavor, rachel from and then she snapped, alyssa from everydaymaven, rachell from no mark at all, lucy from lucille in the sky, jamie from what i did today, jackie and shari and samantha (three brand new bloggers!)

whew!

we’d also like to thank our fantastic sponsors: el sage, princess couture designs, alecia smith photography, tracy with scentsy, grace and stella, and belleza mia for all of the WONDERFUL prizes for our bloggers.

i had so much fun with all of these ladies. i only wish we had had even more time to get to know each other. luckily we are all pretty local so it’s time to plan more meet ups! we definitely are already talking about another big one in the spring so if you couldn’t make this one, i sure hope this post has convinced you to come out for the next one. it has, right?

feel free to link up below if you came and did a post about the event. we all want to check ‘em out.

until next time, PNWers!

    Not only was the pizza seriously unprecedented in size, this event brought together a  group of beautiful, intelligent, open and kind-hearted women. I know I wasn’t the only one who arrived feeling slightly shy and awkward, and left feeling excited about new connections, new blogs to read, and most of all, new friends. It’s official, women bloggers will change the world :)
