Saturday Snapshot - Blogger meet-up edition

I've never been to a blog conference and I've never met any of my bloggy friends in real life.... until last night!

Left to right: Casey, Me!, Jana, Leigh.

I was excited at the opportunity to meet up with some fellow Dallas bloggers. Nervous, too, I must admit.

When you blog, you can put your best self forward. You can pretty up your header, use a fancy font, and make sure you're putting your best content out there. In real life, you can't as easily cover up that zit that's been plaguing you, and what if you have something stuck in your teeth? Will anyone tell you?

My fears proved unfounded as these lovely ladies were warm and friendly and everything they are on their blogs! We talked and ate and laughed. And we talked about blogging - which was sooooo nice because none of my in-real-life friends blog or understand it in the slightest!

I can't wait to do this again (and if you're a DFW blogger, join us next time!).

What about you? Have you ever had the chance to meet up with your online friends?

    Oh, lucky you! I have several blog friends I would love to meet up with but we are scattered around the world! I keep hoping though!
    My real life friends don't get the whole blogging thing either. They don't know what they're missing!

    I have met up with bloggers. I'm typically shy at first so it was a big challenge for me to meet up in person. I've met a few local bloggers and of course whoever comes and finds me at shows. I've made some great relationships with bloggers. Looks like you had fun!

    How fun! I love meeting with my Columbia, Mo peeps, but I'd love to expand and meet-up with people from St. Louis and Kansas City, too!

    Next time I visit my parents we'll have meet up!

    So fun! I can completely relate. I have very limited IRL friends who blog, so its hard to find someone who "gets it". I recently went to a blogger conference and met so many women with similar interests. It was eye opening. I too was nervous, but I think everyone is at first! I love the photo!

    Isn't that the best? I've gotten to meet up with 3 other bloggy friends and loved everyone of them and we hit it off right away! No one from my home base wants to talk diddly about blogging - so it's sweet to have some people to talk shop with!
