Breakfast, like a big one! Then unfortunately, I have to go home... : (
So you know who to look for....
If you want to meet up for BEA or non-BEA fun, email me at eclectic.eccentric[at]hotmail.com. I'd love to exchange contact information and/or set up a specific meeting time and place.
And everyone should go get pictures up on your blogs so I'm not walking past you obliviously!
What time is the breakfast Wednesday? Nat mentioned it to me but I hadn't heard back from her about it yet. I'd love to join you guys if you aren't sick of me yet. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time, Trisha. Oh how I wish I could got to that breakfast with you and Nat and Amanda...
ReplyDeleteYou suck! But still I love you. Please spread my goodwill. Get a feel for the lay of the land, so when I do decide to come to this event, you can lead me around.
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous. I want to go so bad but I hope you have a wonderful time. And can't wait to hear how it goes!

"Gaggle" is a terrific word -- it's one we should all use more often. I won't be at the conference, but it's great to see your beautiful face. Maybe next year.
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect situation for the use of gaggle!
ReplyDeleteHave a fab time and sorry I will not be there in person, but in spirit. Be safe and enjoy :)
Yay!! I'm excited about Tuesday too! It looks like we'll be going to a lot of the same things after that too. I still haven't decided if I'm going to do the Strand/TAC or not.
ReplyDeleteJenners - I believe in the power of the gaggle!
ReplyDeleteAnna - I can't wait to meet you! I'm so freaking excited it's a bit pitiful.
Stephanie - I wish you were going!
Jenny Girl - I thought so too! Wish you were going.
Jenny - Sweetness! You should come to Strand/TAC if for no other reason than to be part of a gaggle!
Do you need a dinner date for Thursday evening post-blogger con reception (I do!)? Between the two of us we should be able to locate some food! Let me know! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds excellent Megan! I'd love to go to dinner.
ReplyDeleteYay! Looking forward to it. =D
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read all about your exciting BEA week!! I was able to get in one day and thought it was all so FAB! Next year I'm planning on getting in on it all!!! Wish I could have bumped into you and said hello, but there's always next year!... Gosh I love The Strand!
