So, as you might have heard, I went to a little blogger get together called TequilaCon on Friday.
Here’s how it went down:
At about 12:45, Avitable and I boarded a plane from Orlando heading to Philadelphia. Of course, we kissed our loved ones good by from our iPhones first.
The bad thing about traveling with Avitable is he makes me buy him water. At a gazillion dollars a bottle at the fucking airport snack bar. The good thing is he’s a pretentious ass and upgraded us both to Business Class.
We landed about who cares what time o’clock and were greeted at the airport by Karl and Hello Ha Ha Narf. No, I do not have pictures of that. Why would I have taken pictures of that?
We drove through the very lovely Philadelphia to get to our very lovely Hotel La Sheraton.
Once we checked in, we had to call Hilly and explain to her that we could not come pick her up from the airport - but we would happily send a cab.
While Hilly was happily taking a cab from the airport, we found a few more bloggers who were also stuck in traffic.
By the time Hilly got to The Hotel La Sheraton, we were prepared to make it up to her welcome her.
Oh my God. I just realized I have no pictures of welcoming Hilly!
Oh. Wait.
Blah blah blah, yada yada yada, we all met up in the hotel restaurant to go out for dinner.
After spending all of someone else’s money on food and booze, we retired to the bar.
The End.
Of The First Night.

If you wear sunglasses in a car when it’s bright out, why is it different on a plane?
And those puppies got to see lots of Internets people, too!

Great photo essay! I loved my welcome signs! However, I really really wish that I would not have showed my boobs all night long…zoinks!
May 6th, 2008 at 12:09 am
I think that’s a very accurate portrayal.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:14 am
oh dear, i’m in love with your curls.
p.s. if i’m ever in your neck of the woods, i’m coming over to be “welcomed”. ;)
May 6th, 2008 at 12:18 am
did i mention to you how much i love your photo essays? coz i so do. of course i so love you as well.
ok, i can’t quit giggling over these photos. it kills me that you were able to get the teddy bear/rose dude as we drove by. i need an iphone. and by iphone i do mean iphone, not adam’s cock.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:20 am
Wow. Part 1 has a cliffhanger… can’t wait to read the rest. Hilly sure loves to show the boobage…
Hurry please.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:27 am
I’m hoping you guys can send me that afghan you knitted.
I love afghans.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:33 am
You gotta love the traffic in Philly. It’s nothing like the traffic in SoCal. I wanna be stuck in that kinda traffic…
May 6th, 2008 at 1:14 am
So. Damn. Jealous.
May 6th, 2008 at 1:40 am
Looks like so much fun. Glad you had such a great time!
May 6th, 2008 at 2:55 am
In that first picture it almost looks as if you have cleavage. That must have been a helluva bra.
May 6th, 2008 at 5:23 am
A very accurate portrayal of a great time. Photoshop is fun
May 6th, 2008 at 6:48 am
A CLIFFHANGER?!? REALLY?!?
May 6th, 2008 at 8:14 am
Sounds like it was a ton of fun! Wish I could have been there!
May 6th, 2008 at 9:01 am
Do you think they will allow you in Business Class ever again??
Great photos, though. I think I am getting a contact drunk from all the Tequila wandering around the internet these days!
May 6th, 2008 at 9:01 am
looks like your weekend was more fun than mine.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:14 am
Yeah - I had tequila Saturday night too but it wasn’t nearly as fun. I forgot to tell you about the major argument I had WITH BRAD (yes, THAT Brad) over the value of a human life after a few shots.
Yours sounds MUCH more fun!
May 6th, 2008 at 9:15 am
Ohhh, sweetie… You ordered the curry? Next time you need to consult with me first. (I love curry, but not when it’s Vacation Dinner.)
Philly traffic really is A Bitch.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:23 am
Wow. I made a photo essay!
I feel so… speshul.
Oh and Philly traffic… it ain’t got nothing on NYC traffic… but it was a bitch.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:25 am
@Dawg: I would rather experience NYC traffic over Philly traffic any day.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:40 am
Damn, so THAT’S how you knit. Shit, I’ve been doing in wrong…
May 6th, 2008 at 9:50 am
Sounds like you were the life of the party and you learned you actually liked curry!
OH, and next year I want an invite.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:12 am
Damn traffic. I don’t know how anyone lives there.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:22 am
1. I’d love to go to TC.
2. I can’t keep up with you lushes.
3. I guess I won’t be going to TC 09.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:23 am
You all look like you had such a great time!!!!! And I would have LOVED to help with that Afghan! It looks like so much fun, and I have knitted in so long!!!! LOL
May 6th, 2008 at 11:10 am
ENVY
May 6th, 2008 at 11:44 am
As always, another great PhotoEssay from the Brittster!
May 6th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Hilly’s boobs were awesome!
It’s cold up here, I need some more afghans, dammit.
(Okay, really it’s going to be 80 here today, but I still need more afghans. Lots and lots of afghans.)
May 6th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
How do you get on the inside track for a get-together like this? I’m a professional “knitter” from way back, and I even have a pair of “twins” I could have brought along, though it does look like that aspect was well covered (or not, as the case may be!)
Looks like a blast - can’t wait for the part II installment!
May 6th, 2008 at 2:35 pm
Great. Now, I’m thirsty and want to knit!
May 6th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
I can’t believe I missed the knitting.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
I wanna meet a blogger! For no other reason than to NOT have someone look at me like I’m crazy when I try to explain what a blog is.
Besides, the kids are done after the first couple of tequila shooters. Lightweights.
May 6th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
I missed the knitting
I don’t make out either!
And I missed your magnet!!!!!
PS Is a cliffhanger like a dingleberry?
May 6th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
Knitting is always my *favorite* part of the party.
I have a feeling TC09 is going to be HUUUUGE.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
[...] head to the bar where we continued our little party, exchanging chewing loudly for slurping loudly. Britt taught me how to do a Tequila shot (thanks Britt for the education, thanks Adam for paying for it). It wasn’t bad. I [...]
