Last night my fabulous co-hort, Amy from Milkbreath and Margaritas, and I co-hosted Margarit-Her for local women bloggers who weren’t able to make it to the annual BlogHer conference in Chicago.
We met up at Cantina Laredo in the Gulch and had a fabulous time. One blogger drove down from Clarksville and one came in from Memphis which was just awesome. We gave out some fun door prizes, including two family four packs of tickets to the August Wiggles concert thanks to Sprout TV as Amy and I are both on their band of bloggers.
Amy and I are going to plan another get together for this fall, so stay tuned. If you weren’t able to meet up with us last night we’d love to see you next time. And I promise to continue to keep it classy with the fancy pants Post It note nametags and temporary tattoos! And a big thanks to Karla from Fruition Designs, Looking Towards Heaven, and Modern Media Mom for designing our super fab blog button. She wasn’t able to make it but still found time to share her mad design skills with us.
Thanks to everyone who came out! (I’ve posted more pictures on Flickr.)

K el´s last blog ..searching my soul … hoping to find confidence
K. My butt hurts. My daughter is suffering from neglect. 16,000 emails—that I acquired while on vacation bc I refuse to do crack-berry—still await. Along with the ubiquitous Mount Everent of laundry. And the checkbook that needs balancing. And the…BUT not until I MAKE IT THROUGH THIS DAMN LIST! E’ryone else at Margarit-Her sneak peeked at each other’s blogs while I was peering at the mountains. Enough bitchin’. Jamie, thanks for organizing last night and linking us all here!! I really appreciate your trouble! I had fun last night. Niiice people. Learned some stuff, too.

Great meeting, it’s unfortunate you can’t make it to blogher. Anyway, you had lots of fun, right? One came from Memphis? She just drove all the way? That is amazing.
