The act of blogging – releasing one’s candid thoughts into the unknown digital ether – can be a solitary one. Perhaps it’s not such an isolated venture as Thoreau’s introspective narrative at Walden Pond.. but it can be quite similar to Carrie’s writing scenes in Sex and the City. You know, the ones where Carrie curls up, barefoot and relaxed, next to her laptop late at night and looks thoughtfully perplexed off-screen before encapsulating her latest adventures into witty one-sentence life realizations and philosophies.
So, it’s quite a lot of fun to meet and be connected to fellow bloggers, all as interesting and intriguing in person as their on-screen voices!
Anna and Devyn of Mode Media (an expansion of the Glam Media brand) organized a lovely dinner at Chambers Eat & Drink, for us to meet and mingle over bubbles and a delicious family-style dinner.
Between colorful, textural courses ranging from vegetable fritters upon a bed of polenta, to smoky roasted vegetables and crisp-skinned fish fillets with creamy leeks, we exchanged personal stories and shared our paths of self-expression and development through our blogs.
And in-between the eating and the chatting, we took some time for a few photos and social media updating (all part of the job of being a blogger). 😉
All of the ladies I met were a joy to talk with, and I look forward to keeping in touch with them! Their blogs are thoughtfully-curated, beautiful windows into their lives. Please enjoy exploring their sites; you’ll be sure to find inspiration from each one.

Oh, the sex and the city reference is totally relevant. I wish I could have been there! It looked like a great time, and the food looks delicious!! I will have to check out some of the blogs you listed. Any more fun events on the horizon? Lots of love,

Fun get together! I’m in the St. Louis area and we have a small group of bloggers that have dinner once a month. It’s a great way to connect to other bloggers.
This get together looks like it would be so much fun!!! I really love to get together with other bloggers, I need to find this in my area!
Sounds like a lot of fun, I love attending blogging events. Its the only time I find updating your social status whilst eating and chatting with friends at the same time is acceptable as its part of the job.
Aw this looks so fun! I love blogger get togethers like this! And the food looks delish!
Looks like a nice time. Haven’t been to California in a long time.
This sounds like a lot of fun! I’ll be heading out to SF in April, if you guys are getting together again, I’d love to join!
LOVE THIS! I has such a blast at the dinner! I hope to see all you girls again soon!

What a fun event! I live in the Bay area too.. Love to join this next time 🙂
What a fun blogging event! I really can’t wait to go to my first one. I hope it will be soon!
It’s really nice to get together with fellow bloggers. Aside from having new friends, you also get to expand your network.
Wow, this looks like an incredible night of networking, food and fun!
I plan on attending the BlogPaws conference this year and it will be my first time meeting bloggers. Thank you for the great article!
I haven’t yet been able to get together with other bloggers, but it sure does look like fun! There are actually quite a few near me but I haven’t been invited to anything yet.
I’ve never gotten together with a group of bloggers (yet!). I imagine it is a lot of fun. 😉
I have to find a network near me! It would be so nice to get together with fellow bloggers. Looks like an awesome time and the food looks delicious 🙂
Always love your blogs – and your photography is the best! Sounds like a fun get-together.
I’m apart of Mode Media and I absolutely LOVE it! I wish they’d do something like this in Chicago. Blogger get togethers are the best <3
So great meeting you Lauriel! I love this post. ❤️
xo, Alina
