This past Friday night, a small group of Central Valley lady-bloggers met up for drinks and noshing at The Daily Grill and to talk about their experiences blogging, network with each other, and just plain have a good time. Though the group was small (illness took out several would-be attendees in the final hours before the event), a good time was had by all as every topic from “tiny man-boy Bieber” to getting paid for Twitter parties was discussed.
Thank you to Tiffany from Blabbering Thoughts for putting this all together and instigating a meetup. Though she is originally from Indiana, she’s the first that I’m aware of to put together an official lady bloggers meetup for our area, so bravo Tiff!
If you’re looking for some new and enjoyable blogs to bookmark, please check out the sites owned by the lovely ladies in attendance. (I’m missing a link for one, but will get it listed as soon as I can get a hold of the URL.)
And a few pictures from our fun (albeit hot) evening. We were on the patio, and though it was covered, it was a scorching, muggy night — so don’t mind our glistening faces!

Kimberly, Megan (Absolute Mommy) and Tiffany (Blabbering Thoughts)

Kelly (Married Gamers) walks us through her really cool marriage proposal story (props to hubby for his scavenger hunt!)

So sorry for the image quality, and unfortunately, my photo of Jacqueline from Nerd Family was too blurry to post. Thankfully, there will be more meetups, so I’ll try again next time!
