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!

I love afghans.

You gotta love the traffic in Philly. It’s nothing like the traffic in SoCal. I wanna be stuck in that kinda traffic…

So. Damn. Jealous.

Looks like so much fun. Glad you had such a great time!

In that first picture it almost looks as if you have cleavage. That must have been a helluva bra.

A very accurate portrayal of a great time. Photoshop is fun

A CLIFFHANGER?!? REALLY?!? :slaphead:

Sounds like it was a ton of fun! Wish I could have been there!

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!

looks like your weekend was more fun than mine.

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!

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.
Reply
Wow. I made a photo essay!
I feel so… speshul. :clap: :clap: :clap:
Oh and Philly traffic… it ain’t got nothing on NYC traffic… but it was a bitch.
Reply
@Dawg: I would rather experience NYC traffic over Philly traffic any day. :angel:
Reply
Damn, so THAT’S how you knit. Shit, I’ve been doing in wrong…
Reply
Sounds like you were the life of the party and you learned you actually liked curry!
OH, and next year I want an invite.
Reply
Damn traffic. I don’t know how anyone lives there.

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.

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

As always, another great PhotoEssay from the Brittster!

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.)

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!
:disco:

Great. Now, I’m thirsty and want to knit!
Reply
I can’t believe I missed the knitting.

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.

I missed the knitting
I don’t make out either!
And I missed your magnet!!!!!
PS Is a cliffhanger like a dingleberry? :dunce:
Reply
Knitting is always my *favorite* part of the party.
I have a feeling TC09 is going to be HUUUUGE.
