Friday Night Fun

Monday, August 25, 2008

In case you missed it, there was a whole lot of this last Friday:



And that would be the only decent photo I took. Oops. It turns out that when you have eight kickass bloggers together, the service is relatively acceptable, and the food is good, there is plenty of time to chat. Chatting leads to fun, but not many photos.

Speaking of eight kickass bloggers, here's the rundown of who was there, just in case you happened to be joining us for the first time and are now afraid of our collective inability to shoosh. (Hiya, Vanilla Icing! Hope we didn't scare you too terribly bad!)

Susan
Jen
Allison
Irene
Me
Vanilla Icing
Kim
Red Pen Mama

(Using real names for people who routinely post using real names--anybody wants their name changed, just let me know.)

And that leaves us with September and October to plan. Kim has cordially invited us all to invade her home for September, but wants the group to pick the date. Please vote and let her know whether you prefer Saturday or Sunday:



(Poll closes at 9:00 pm Friday.)

Exact times are yet to be determined, but I think it's safe to bet that early to mid afternoon will be the start time. Your whole family is invited, and it's going to be potluck, so cook up your favorite dish and show off!

October will be bloggers only at Mad Mex in Robinson Township.

oh CRRRRRRAP. Everytime there's a family function, we have something else going on. grr! My grandma and her husband are going to be in town visiting from Florida, and I'm fairly certain if I told them I had to take the baby to a Burgh Mom Blogger meet up, they would have me institutionalized. heh.

Re: Mad Mex in Robinson. Is that okay with everybody? I was going to suggest Max & Erma's. I would suggest Bahama Breeze (you can probably get a decent daiquiri), but they don't take reservations, and it's always swamped. But I love MM, so if that's okay with the group, we'll do it.

Looking forward to the next get together. DearDR hasn't the faintest idea what to make of this "getting together with bloggers" thing. But he'll be there!

ciao,

I lurve Mad Mex.

But... please... don't schedule it on Yom Kippur! How's the following weekend? (that'd be the weekend of the 17th)

Sara said...

Well, I figured I'd give it a try. Need to get out anyhow. BTW, thanks for inviting me over here from my blog! I still can't believe you were lurking on it considering how rarely I use it!

Kim said...

Does the lack of votes mean neither of those days are good?

Irene said...

Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I wasn't sure what was going on that weekend - but it looks like I will not be able to make it. Maybe next time?

Kim: I'm sorry to be leaving a comment here, but I can't comment on your blog for some reason. I think because I don't blog through blogger? I don't know. I am wondering if you have an email you wouldn't mind giving out? I'm not really sure how to touch base with people I "hang out" with online. (Okay, so I am forced to lurk because I can't comment! Please help.)

PS when you leave a comment on my blog, it goes to my home email. maybe I can touch base with you that way? thanks.
