Okay, I have solid plans to be there (assuming I don't get lost downtown).

I'm landing from the middle east on the 10th but if I'm ambulatory on the 11th I'm there! Can't wait to see you again.

It was really serendipitous. We got the email from Nicole, and I just happened to be going to DC for another event...so the more events the merrier :)

Glad to see you on the site, we're happy to talk further about how we can facilitate more meetings of the minds!

Hi Elisa -

I'm thrilled to see you as a featured guest at a DWC chapter! BlogHer has been on my list of groups that we need to pay attention to and partner with. And I love that our DC chapter beat me to it. We should see about having BlogHer meetups in any of our cities, or brainstorm about how else we can help support your efforts - i.e. promoting upcoming conferences and offering BlogHer members discounted memberships. I've been blogging on the DWC site and for the Boston Globe's career section for a while, but need to really ramp up my own knowledge and participation in BlogHer.

The idea of meeting all of you in person is very exciting!

Got an answer from the organizer. It is definitely free (which makes me anticipate mediocre wine in plastic cups, but hey, I'm easy.)

And there's no RSVP required, although it is being held in a big law office conference room, so if more than a dozen of you reply I'm going to let her know. I look forward to seeing you all.

Cool! I have class that night but I'll try to turn my work in early...and if I can get out of it, I'm there!

If I can get someone to watch my kids I will be there!

I will be there with bells on. And other clothing articles, as well - just to clarify.

Looking forward to it!! What time does the bar open? :)

Don't feel badly, Elisa. Most people in Texas can travel for days and still never leave our huge state! Austin is about 2 and a half hours from where I am. I am more than willing to get my butt to Austin to see my gals. But I think we need a DALLAS area meetup. Because, you know, it is all about the Texas Divas. ;-)

I will email my contact just to make sure.

(And I'll probably let her know if a bunch of folks say they're coming.)

Yes, I'm displaying my full-on ignorance of U.S. geography. :)

How about you ladies get yourselves down here to Texas! (Dallas would rock because I know you will all be at SXSW in Austin anyway, but I don't have a ticket for THAT.) I could so go for a get together deep in the heart of Texas. I am just sayin'!

That's quite close to where I work! Sounds interesting and fun. I don't see if an RSVP is required or if there's a cost. Do you know those details, Elisa, or where I can find them?
