Miss Britt Goes To TequilaCon: A Photo Essay

by Miss Britt on May 6, 2008

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.

Goodbye Orlando, Hello Cleavage.

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.

Business Class is Classy.  With a C

Sleeping is Classy too

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.

Nice Philly

I heard some people slept in these

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.

Traffic goes down ROUGH.

While Hilly was happily taking a cab from the airport, we found a few more bloggers who were also stuck in traffic.
Poppy, Becky of Hello Ha Ha Narf and Dawg - in TRAFFIC

By the time Hilly got to The Hotel La Sheraton, we were prepared to make it up to her welcome her.

Welcome to Philly Hilly!

Oh my God. I just realized I have no pictures of welcoming Hilly!

Oh. Wait.

Well hellooooo Hilly

Blah blah blah, yada yada yada, we all met up in the hotel restaurant to go out for dinner.

Basically what I'm saying is - Curry Sucks Ass

After spending all of someone else’s money on food and booze, we retired to the bar.

Lick. Slam. Suck.  I mean - uh - loop, scoop...er. Shit.

The Knitting Circle

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!

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

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

    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!

    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.

    Wow. I made a photo essay!

    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:

    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.

  33. metalmom May 6, 2008 8:03 pm

    I missed the knitting :cry:
    I don’t make out either! :cry:
    And I missed your magnet!!!!! :cry: :cry: :cry:

    PS Is a cliffhanger like a dingleberry? :dunce:

    Knitting is always my *favorite* part of the party.

    I have a feeling TC09 is going to be HUUUUGE.

    avitable: because you’re not driving the plane.

    Hilly: but your boobs are FABULOUS!! I know. We got close, your boobs and I.

    Karl: I’m nothing if not 100% accurate.

    Sarcomical: I would hope so! I love welcoming!

    hello haha narf: we were stopped in traffic at that point. Fucking traffic.

    martymankins: lol, sorry, it wasn’t meant to be a cliff hanger. It was just getting really… really… long.

    jester: it’s in the mail baby!

    Winter: it is a little easier to handle this kind. :evil:

    Undomestic Diva: oh! don’t be! Be convinced to come join us!!

    Selma: loads and loads of fun.

    Mr. Fabulous: fucker.

    libragirl: Photoshop is mah friend.

    Dave2: listen here MISTER! Don’t you be slamming my recap! :crazywife:

    debkitty: oh you would have so enjoyed it. Maybe next time?

    Trishk: of COURSE they will let me back in business class. I am, clearly, classy.

    Jennifer: well THAT stinks.

    Britt’s Mom: because you like talking to a wall??

    Poppy: I was asking everyone! Why did you not help me out?!?

    NYCWD: in NY you can take public transportation though, so that makes it better.

    CMG: well now you know better!

    themuttprincess: an invite? Dude – no one got invites. We were all gate crashers! Come along!

    Finn: me neither. Seriously.

    A Whole Lot of Nothing: it’s not all about drinking. Adam didn’t drink at all.

    Robina: knitting is something that should be done regularly.

    Crys: wish you could have been there.

    Jen: thank you :D

    Shelli: and they smelled nice too.

    we_be_toys: ummm… I read it on the Internet and invited myself. LOL

    Peggy: I recommend lime when knitting.

    Black Belt Mama: next time you’ll know – stay where WE stay! :wink:

    Honeybell: that really is the best part – the whole “not being crazy for a weekend”.

    metalmom: you didn’t get a magnet??? WTF dude?!?!

    SJ: I can’t believe we have to wait a year for the next one.
