Jacquie's coming out party

Ever since we got the party started here at Me, You, and Ellie, I’ve been somewhat selective about who I target with shameless self-promotion.

.

Well, that’s not true.

.

I am not at all reserved about my self-promotion (thus the shameless bit), but there are many people in my life who do not know about the blog. I guess I have an aversion to the inevitable clash between work peeps and internet peeps. I don’t want to censor myself on the blog, and I worry about how the collision of worlds might affect my very personal purpose for blogging. I don’t write much about work for those very reasons, it’s a separate part of my life and I like it that way.

.
So when I heard that Bossy was coming to town and wanted to meet local bloggers, I thought I would not go. But then I remembered that I’m me and I really don’t like to miss stuff. And Bossy’s blog was one of the first I ever read and it’s awesome, and why would I presume that anyone even gave a shit whether or not I blogged or went to a party or drank seven margaritas?

.

So I went! I came out of the blog closet, and met an eclectic yet likeminded group of people, and although I kept insisting that I was shy and introverted, I convinced everyone to do Happy Crappy. On the record.

On camera.

Bossy's got mad arm photo skills.

and everywhere you looked there were laptops and iphones and tweets and cameras


and I think I drank seven margaritas.

and we were all smiles

Big thanks to Jenn and her man-eating couch for hosting the fun, and to Christina, Matthew, Deb, Katy, BOSSY, Kelly, Mel , Jenn the lurker, and Scott the camera man for a really fun time!
