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.

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.
I am so jealous…..it looks like you are having such a great time. It makes me want to go to this conference next year and meet all of you wonderful bloggers!! Can’t wait to read more 🙂
