A Boulder/Denver Pre-BlogHer Meet+Greet in June - You In?

Boulder/Denver-Area BlogHers

UPDATE: A big thank you to all those who came out to the event. For photos, video & impressions of the event, please enjoy!

Alright! The conference is almost upon us. Less than 90 days until BlogHer Chicago and I know a lot of you have emailed/tweeted/called to talk about it. Some folks can't get tix, others have, many are currently waitlisted. Whether you are an attendee or not, these small, intimate meets are happening around the country - anyone can attend - new & previous BlogHers, registered and non-registered alike.

We thought the Denver/Boulder area would benefit from a meet so we can get coffee, tea and hang with some other amazing women.

We're trying to decide between two dates - June 20th or June 27th. Those are both Saturdays. Please check your calendar and indicate which looks better for you. We're shooting for mid-day, starting around 1pm, on either day.

This free meetup (it's not a conference nor is it a hosted party) will be an opportunity for you to get to know a few folks before the first day of the conference, if you're going. And to meet with bloggers like you and find out about it if you aren't able to attend this year.

We're looking for a place in Boulder for the meetup that's free and kid-friendly. We have a coffee shop that will host us and give us a room for free and we can run with that location unless anyone knows of another venue in Boulder that we should check out. If you do, please holler in the comments!

Look forward to seeing you in June!

xo,

Gwen Bell

Thanks for setting this up, Gwen

Great idea (even though I can't attend BlogHer this year. Stupid best man's wedding. Kidding. Kind of.)

The 20th works for me but the 27th does not.

Hope to see everyone. I'll tweet about this now.

Hi Gwen!

I was reading you with interest on the #gno site. Had no idea you were in my neck of the woods. Either day works for me.

#gno

Hi Barb,

#gno last week was super fast & fantastic. Really got into it...it's an area I'm passionate about. I look forward to continuing the convo IRL in June here, in July in Chicago.

I think either the 20th or the 27th will work for me. Won't know until it gets closer. This won't be my first BlogHer but I would love to meet you all.

I vote for the 20th

Love that you are hosting the Boulder/Denver Blogher meetup. I will be attending this year (first time) and would love to meet folks from here. I will be in NY on the 27th, though, so ONE BIG VOTE FOR THE 20TH!

20th - wins the vote

Hi Holly!

Good to see you here - funny we live in the same area & rarely run into each other!

Sounds like the 20th is best for those who expressed a date preference. Look forward to seeing you in a few weeks.

Date, Time & Place Proposal

Hi everyone!

From what I'm hearing there's a lot of buzz around the 20th. So, does the 20th sound good?

If so, I'm proposing we meet from

1-3pm on June 20th at

The Cup Espresso Cafe

1521 Pearl St
Boulder, CO 80302
(303) 449-5173

They are going to let us have a back room to ourselves if we use this location. I'm friends with the owners and they're letting us use the space free of charge if we decide to do so. Bonus: free wifi so we can add each other on various social networks as friends on the spot.

Sound good?

Hi Gwen: I just happened upon this page on the BlogHer site (lucky). Since others might be in the same boat, it might be a good plan to email the time and date of the meetup to everyone who signed up for this group.
