Y’all know I love me a good blate. Meeting other bloggers makes me SO happy (especially if I’ve been reading their blogs for a while!)
I’ve really been trying to “get out there” and meet bloggers, especially with Blissdom coming up. I feel like smaller blogger meet ups and blates are the best way to really test the waters before a huge blog conference. So when Jenn sent the word out that she wanted to have an Austin meet up, I couldn’t help but say yes. AND- I’m SO glad I did!
There’s not too much to say about it (other than the fact that all the ladies were absolutely awesome!). So without further ado…










After a delicious lunch at Doc’s on South Congress, we decided to walk down to Hey- Cupcake. Sadly, several bloggers had to leave, so it was just 6 of us that went to get cuppies.
First of all, I know the whole saying for Waco is “Keep Waco, Wacko” but let me tell you, there is NOTHING “wacko” about Waco. There IS, however, something WEIRD about Austin, hence their “Keep Austin Weird” catchphrase. Um, I love Austin, but that’s not something to be proud of haha. During our walk down to Hey- Cupcake I had not ever seen so many crazies or “crunchies” in one place in my life (…and I’ve been to NYC y’all!) It was like being in a Twilight zone. Sar even got pictures of some weirdo dudes performing some witchcraft that they were filming. BIZARRE!
Anyway, I digress…







That looks like such a fun time. There are SO many TX bloggers. I read almost all of the blogs of the girls who were there! Too funny! I’ll be at Blissdom too and besides my roommate I don’t know anyone. Look forward to meeting you there.
I had to quote you in a post…actually, the quote IS the post, so if you mind let me know and I’ll take it down. Linked back and all.

I totally agree…Waco is not really wacko, but Austin is weird. Weird in both good and bad ways. I like the crunchies, not the crazies…and I do think eccentricity is something to be proud of. Austin feels a lot like California–the good parts of California (I’ll take that kind of crazy over the “gangs and guns” type of crazy any day…which is the bad part of California).

Such a neat post! I’m doing mine (belatedly) tomorrow. I can’t wait to do it again and get to know you better! I just adore that last pic of you and Jenn….so cute! 🙂
AW! I only wish I lived somewhere in which I could attend a blogger meet up!
I am from a small town and I’m not even sure if half of them know what a blog IS! :/
It looked like you all had a ton of fun. 🙂

How exciting, I would love to meet other bloggers!
