Blogging While Brown Conference And ATL, Part 1

Posted on July 30, 2008

Oh snap, she done started blogging again.

Ha, I’m back ya’ll. First post up is about the Blogging While Brown Conference that I attended this past weekend in Atlanta. I’d known about it for about six months and was going back and forth about whether or not to attend and basically at the last minute (like a month before), I decided to go. And I’m so glad I did. First up, thanks to Gina McCauley at What About Our Daughters for spearheading this conference. It was much needed and I can only see it getting bigger and bigger as the years go by.

Since I live about five hours away, I decided to drive up to ATL and stay with my aunt and cousin for the free. The first BWB event was the pre-conference Meet and Greet. Cuzzo and I showed up, but ended up leaving early. Why? Simply because I have shy tendencies and they were in full effect that night. We ended up getting drinks from the Fox Atlantic Grill. She was full and wasn’t able to finish hers so there was a plan put into play to sneak the drink out in a to-go cup. Let’s just say that plan ended with the bartender walking by and tell us that we were on camera and that if we tried to leave the restaurant with the drink, we would be in trouble. She was heated, I found the situation funny as hell.

That night we ended up going to Studio 72 (she’s a VIP hostess there) but ended up leaving because she wasn’t feeling the crowd that night. So she suggested we go bowling. Mind you, I’m in a cute T-shirt dress (similar to these) and some cute black stilettos. And she’s in jeans. Talkinbout, “let’s go bowling”, lol. Anyway, we ended up at the Midtown Bowl where I bowled my best game ever (88, stank you very much), but no one was around to see it! Got back to the house at 4 in the morning. And I had to be up by 8:00 am to make sure I made it to the conference on time.
