Luck of Seven in Houston

Today I picked up my friend Noel at IAH. It was terrific to finally meet him in person. Oh - and I found him right away - unlike when I picked up @andrewhyde and @gwenbell at IAH. I’m sure that Noel was hoping to be wisked off to a comfortable dwelling somewhere - eat a nice meal - and take a nap. But that’s not how we roll here in H-Town. So our first stop…

AIR Dinner

Our first stop was the Hilton Ballroom for the AIR Houston Awards Ceremony and Banquet. AIR stands for Accessible Internet Rally and is a web design competition that promotes accessibility. The competition is held each year in cities all over the United States and is sponsored by Knowbility.org. So Noel and I enjoyed a lovely 3-course meal followed by some light mingling and then we headed to our next engagement for the evening…

Houston It’s Worth It Launch Party

Next stop was the Houston It’s Worth It Book Launch Party at Lawndale Art Center. Here we got to schmooze with the Houston Who’s Who - and get our pictures taken for numerous local publications. Oh and this old woman insisted on dancing with me - I think she might have even goosed me a few times.

At the HIWI party I introduced Noel to Monica Danna, Matthew Wettergreen, Dayna Marcum & Ed Schipul. It was a blast - just check out the picture below.

I Have Blogger's Block
I was chatting with my friend Laura Mayes tonight - explaining how I have Blogger’s Block. Tomorrow I head to San Francisco - and I’ve already stocked up on awesome reading materials for the plane - including the Complete Works of Jane Austen and Katharine Hepburn’s Autobiography. Laura’s advice:

The best way to get out of a block is to read good writing.

And to go to Northern California.

Check. And Check.

Sometimes life just works out.

My personal link policy is as follows - I only link to the blogs of people I actually know in real life (with the exception of the "Other Erica's" section). I think when you add someone to your blogroll there should be real meaning attached. Most of the people I link to are not only acquaintances - but folks I am lucky enough to call my friends.
