AKA: the Chicago Meetup details.
Here’s the plan:
Many of us will be hanging at the Hard Rock bar Saturday from 10p** onward (if by onward you mean as long as we can stay awake after our oatfilledday–which I do).
Many of us will also be meeting at Panera Bread (635 N. Fairbanks Court 60611) Sunday morning around 930 (totally casual/informal & my flight is at 1p so I’ll be there until 11a).
Me? Ill be at both places hanging out.
You? COME BY IF YOU CAN! Id love to meet, grab, hug, chat, snark, laugh, lunge & break bread with all of you.
**give me props here, Oh Bumbling Band, I old. (drums fingers on table awaiting her onslaught of compliments.)

November 6, 2008 at 3:18 pmI wish, too! Sounds like a great time. Do let us San Francisco Bay Area members of the Bumbling Band know if you’re ever in the area, though…I know there’s at least a couple of us on here.
Pubsgal says

bea says

*sniff sniff*
are we all going to meet at blogher this summer??
Sherre says
November 6, 2008 at 3:51 pmIf I had a bit more time this weekend, I’d use a frequent flier ticket and be there. Meeting you (and the other bloggers) in person would be so worth it!!
josha says
November 6, 2008 at 4:17 pmMissed yesterday and just caught up…loved the beer and twinkies post, although I hate beer. Will forward that one on to hubby! And I wish you all a jolly good time at Hard Rock and Panera! Can’t stand that I have to MIZ it.
Linda/Hughsmom says
November 6, 2008 at 4:24 pmAngie and I are working on it. Gotta call the neighbor about dog sitting. I can’t NOT come to Chicago. I’ve passed up too many other opportunities.
Can’t wait. Can’t make Saturday, plus 9:00 is my bed time and I be too old and cranky for the bar scene.
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
MizFit says
November 6, 2008 at 5:19 pmyou all make me laugh.
and: MIZ it
That one so deserved a RIMSHOT! afterwards.
this worries me, Linda:
as that sentence entirely describes me as well.
hope to meet some of you and if you cant make it be thinking about where & when and WHAT for next time.
conference? getting some of the FIT BLOGGERS back together for a weekend of HEALTHY LIVING information/sessions/workshops?
Miz.

ChocolateCoveredVegan says

MizFit says
November 6, 2008 at 6:53 pmOOOH YES. I have to give my new home state props in that there is nothing I love more than walking outside in the DARK at 6pm and having it be balmy not frigid.
(too many dark Pa. winters for this MizFit)
and the live music? not to shabby either.
google SXSW interactive.
come to Austin in MARCH!
Miz, who is fo’ shizzle bringing the video camera. FIT BLOGGERS BEWARE!
PTG says
November 6, 2008 at 7:05 pmOh, SO jealous that I won’t be there! (And yet, I’m so close!) But with a race Saturday morning and a Hubs who’s out of town (and therefore a Pnut to take care of that night)….yea. Not a chance I can be there to meet your infamous self.
But I’ll toast a mocktail to ya nonetheless. :o) Have a great time!
Natalia Burleson says
November 6, 2008 at 8:21 pmBummer! š Hope that you guys have a GREAT time! Next meet up in Florida~!!!!
Donnalouise says
November 6, 2008 at 8:34 pmI’m so sad that I can’t be there!!! Any chance you make a surprise visit to the metro DC area???
sassy stephanie says
November 6, 2008 at 8:50 pmDang. And I’m headed to Austin!

Sagan says
November 6, 2008 at 8:55 pmWill absolutely be there in spirit! Anyone want to come to Winnipeg for a blogger meet-up? There’s lots of appeal here with miserably cold weather and snow… damn I need to learn how to sell things better.
Have lots of fun!
Alice says
November 6, 2008 at 10:13 pmWell, when are you coming to Utah then? You can stay with us and ski? Eh?
cammy says
November 7, 2008 at 4:15 amHey, I know where that Panera bread is! Too bad that right now it’s 500 miles away š

November 7, 2008 at 7:21 amWish I could be there – would love to meet you. Hope you all have a great time!
Valerie says
November 7, 2008 at 7:26 amIs it a compliment if I say I am thoroughly bummed that I am not (a) in Chicago or (b) close enough to GET there for this? š
You not old. You awesome. Awesome is timeless and ageless. š
Have a wonderful oat-y time, we shall miss you!
