"Hangin' on to the good times" -- Little Feat

You know how in high school, you threw a party and suddenly all the coolest kids from your class were showing up at your house and you couldn't believe your good fortune because it turned into the best party ever? Yeah, me, neither.

Well, yesterday, I threw a little happy hour and the coolest kids in the blogosphere actually did show up! And I am still amazed.

I got to hang out with the wonderful people behind the following terrific blogs (in no particular order):

Urban Bohemian
Charlotte Harris
"It's Toasted" (the B half)
The Restaurant Refugee
Sean's Ramblings
A Daily Dose of Zen Sarcasm!
The Gilahi Blog
The Chronicles of Tewkesbury
Culinary Couture
Live it, Love it
Who Invented Roses
(That's Why) The Lady Is A Tramp

These are extraordinarily good people. Gracious, funny, interesting, and a good looking bunch! If you ever get the chance to meet them, do it!

To these fantastic pals: I had a great time and I thank all of you for showing up and shining so bright.
