Last night’s cocktail party was quite the hullabaloo! <—Where did that word come from? But really, the energy in the Reading Terminal Market in downtown Philadelphia was absolutely contagious.
Bloggers, booze and badges.
I mean how cool do we all look with our sexy conference name tags? Let me answer that for you: Not Very! 
The cocktail hour kicked off at 7 p.m. and included heavy hors devours, beer and wine.
My fabulous roommates for the weekend, Tina, Courtney, Lisa, and I arrived fashionably late and ready to use up our drink tickets and eat some food!
My favorite appetizer of the evening was some kind of a crab and corn fritter that I dipped into a creamy chipotle sauce.
Oh yes.
The whole event was a lot of fun! It felt like stimulation overload meeting so many bloggers and blog readers in such a short timeframe. I really wished I had more time to chat for longer with so many people! I guess I’ll have to try to take advantage of the breaks in the agenda tomorrow to meet more people and continue to get to know new-to-me bloggers.

Now I gotta get goin’! The Health Living Summit breakfast buffet is in full swing… and my presentation is in two hours. Eek!
Looks like SO much fun! Wish I were there!

Seems like your presentation went well too..as we knew it would! How could it not go well with a slide of Sadie in the cutest purple sunglasses?! Love following all of the blogs during HLS
One question though, were you disappointed that you missed Ashley and JP? Or happy since we all know Ashley drove everybody a little crazy.
Can’t wait for your next post!

Ahhhh Julie, looks like great fun!
Wish we had something similar to HLS in London.
Looking forward to your next post.
