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 I think I drank seven margaritas.

and good shoes.
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!

Love that shoe shot!
You "came out" very well :-) It was such a fun night & I am also very glad I took the leap into meeting some locals.
very impressive.
I own 2 pairs of the shoes shown, so I think I'm pretty cool and should start a blog :)
It was a fab time and I think we should all get together again SOON.
When Georgia was putting this together she asked me for a quote to use as promo for sponsors. This is what I came up with and think it is quite true:
Blogging brought us to BOSSY and BOSSY brought us together.
I saw your picture on Jenn's blog! I recognized you! I've been writing Bossy this, and Bossy that for a week now, but you kept it a secret! Way to reveal, girl! More exclamation points!!!
I know, M.A.W. Jacquie's gorgeous face is all over the blogiverse this week.
I love it, Jacquie, and I loved your 1 a.m. (my time) texts that night, giving me the play-by-play.
Nice job. And congrats on your outing.
xxEllie
Glad I was there on your coming out! Nice to meet you. :D
So is Bossy singing her happy/crappy? It looks as though she's belting one out.
Looks like a good time, J. Thanks for sharing. So gald you ventured forth. I know it must have been extremely difficult for a shy, introverted person like yourself (lmao!).
