Hey Diane,

Not sure about the West Coast yet. Costs to fly out there are generally more money so we have to keep that in mind. Not sure where the next few will be. Probably Chicago in the Spring though.

And yes, I think the Martini bar is gonna be where we'll meet. Might be closer to 8....but people can start without us if necessary!

Scottie, Jill... you guys are just a riot Can't wait to spend a whole 3 days with you

OK, I think this pic is a little better. If not, whatever.

Either bar is fine with me. Does the martini place also have food? I'm sure I'll be wanting dinner around that time

[DianeV]

Dang. Well, I guess I will actually have to consider going somewhere one of these days. lol

[Scottie]

You'll definitely have to catch up with us someplace soon, Diane. Come to Chicago in December!

Karon- we're going to eat before we hit the bar. Or you can have my "snack bag" on the plane. I never eat that stuff. Actually, I think the flight is so short they won't feed us.

[copywriter]

No, they won't feed us anything. But there's always the layover in Atlanta

Hey... what's the dress code at The Blue Martini?

[Jill]

DON'T Eat! Dinner at 6:30 or so! Hopefully the dress code is cutoff jean shorts cuz that's what I will be wearing. (Unless I have to change of course if it's not!)

[copywriter]

OK... no food in Atlanta. I promise. (Well... maybe just a snack )

I'm hoping casual, too, Jill... but the "upscale" martini bar description has me nervous. That's why I wanted to see if we needed to "dress" for dinner and drinks. If so, I gotta bring more clothes!

[smc_online]

That's a good question Karon! I usually show up to things like this in work clothes, so I never thought of it.

I called them to find out. They said that during weeknights dress shorts are fine until 8pm. After that, we will be at the mercy of the doorman to allow us to pass through in based on our attire. No jeans and cut-offs are allowed at any time. (Sorry Jill!)

I would definately suggest business casual to avoid being left out. LOL Get it...left out. LOL

[copywriter]

Hmm... sounds like we need to get there before 8!

[Jill]

Well that just isn't right!

I'm at a pit stop in NYC. Just finished AdTech earlier. Guess what the first thing I did when I was done?

Went into the ladies room to change out of my monkey suit. Now I'm in my jeans and sneakers...ahhhh....

I didn't realize this Hilton had free wireless internet. I had just made reservations on the shuttle to the airport cuz I was bored hanging out here. Now that I know I could have been on the Internet all this time, I would have stayed longer and just taken a cab to the airport. Oh well...

Better go...the bus should be here any minute!

Off to Tampa!

Jill

[Scottie]

Hey! Aren't you going to tell us how AdTech went?

See ya tomorrow-

[copywriter]

Yeah... how'd ya do?

Now what are you going to do all by your little self in Tampa with nobody to play with?

[Jill]

Just got to the hotel in Tampa, and you guys should all be here soon. More updates later...

Oh, and AdTech went great!
