BitchsterZoom 2021
The gang was mostly there – original image taken by Yvonne
Thanks to Yvonne – known to us OG bloggers as Dutch Bitch – there were about 16 of us that got together via Zoom today and had a good 2 hour chat and catch up to “see other” which was pretty damn cool. I’ve know many of these people for the better part of 13 years and most of us, in various numbers, have hung out IRL – in person – in years past at many blogger events. Becky (HelloHaHaNarf), Dave2 (Blogography), Kevin IL (Kapgar), Shannon (BubbleWench), Beth (Sybil Law) Michel (LeSombre), Kyra (Life, Art Chocolate), Ginger (Gingersnaps)… oh and so many others. And for Beth and Kevin, this was the first time I had chatted with them… like actual talking and words and stuff. So that was an added bonus.
Virtual Lanyard
Adding another lanyard to the collection
And as Dave2 has done for pretty much all of the in person blogger events, he created lanyards for each of us. Virtual in the form of the image you see right about this, but he promised to make physical lanyards for a future in person blogger meet up.
Personally for me, this was a much needed event. To see many of those I’ve connected to over the years and to spend part of my weekend day catching up with them, it did wonders for my mood.
So until we can shares drinks, stories and a fun place to travel again, this Zoom meeting will have to do. And I hope there will be more.
About The Author
I’m just jealous that so many of you have hung out IRL prior to this. I’ve met a few, but nothing quite like, say, TequilaCon.
I’ve been to a few over the years, including Dave2 visiting SLC a few times and meeting Yvonne when my wife and I were in Amsterdam in July 2017.
I recognize almost all of those people and have met a surprisingly high percentage! Sounds like a fun time was had.
A fun time was had. I know more of these are planned to have more people join up.
I am so glad this worked out so well! I think it was a much needed social catch up for all of us. Was so great to see you!
Was great to see you, too. Glad it worked out. Thank you again for hosting and getting this setup.
I am trying to think if I HAVEN’T met anybody on this Zoom in Real Life. I think that I have?
Quite a few I’ve never met like Liz and Brad, Krya, Beth, Michel, Kapgar… ones I should have met years ago, but didn’t.
