Raise a Glass to Those Who HouseBlog!
Last night, Aaron and I headed over to Hopleaf in Andersonville for a special houseblogs occasion...
...to indulge in fine food and imported beer with some fellow Chicago HouseBloggers!
From left to right: Brian from The Old Man and the Street, Aaron and I, and Jocelyn and Steve from Lakewood 2-Flat.
You know, no one understands an obsession with power tools like a fellow houseblogger.
Great fun was had by all! It was a lovely break from the normal routine of house, house, house.
Some things I learned from my fellow housebloggers:
- Do not touch the big red fan of death!
- The City of Chicago sponsors wordworking shops in Rogers Park and Lincoln Park! (Whoo hoo!)
- We do, occasionally, get to talk and laugh about subjects other than our houses!
We had fun guys! Definitely want to do it again sometime.
(We also hope the folks at Bungalow Beauty are feeling better soon!)

Oooooh, so jealous! I think it's nearing time to host a Seattle houseblogger gathering...

I had a fantastic time. I was really great to have the opportunity to chat with you (and reassuring that all of us have lives beyond fixing up our houses!). I'm looking forward to our next get-together.

PS The Big Red Fan of Death will be revealed soon!

Not to sound vain, but I can't believe I closed my eyes- I am so turning into my mother!
I very much enjoyed meeting all of you- you are just as charming in person as on your blogs :)

Hey, Thats cool! Hi, I'm Scott and I'm a house blogger (HI SCOTT). We have visited one fellow set of bloggers on our way up I-5 once. It was pretty cool but we've never been to a regular meeting. Are you guys on your way with planning the first annual Woodstick 2006?

I am so jealous. I can have a housebloggers gathering in Alabama, but I'll be the only one attending. ;)

you guys are making me blush. I had an old boyfriend who used to say that!
Maybe someday there will be a housebloggers conference or trips like to the Gamble house or something...we can dream after all. I would love it!
