Small Strokes Big Oaks

ChiFems

Last night was the very first EVER Chicago Feminist Tweetup, and it was a huge success, if I do say so myself.  It was so wonderful to finally meet so many of you wonderful tweeps with whom I’ve had several great conversations on Twitter.

I have to admit, I was a little nervous about this tweetup on my way to meet everyone, partly because I am usually pretty good behind a computer screen, but not so great in front of people I’ve never met before.  I was also a little nervous because I wasn’t sure if we’d all get along!  I mean, realistically, we had never met face-to-face before, and no one really knew what might happen!  There could have just been long periods of silence ending in an awkward good-bye.  But I should have known, if you get a bunch of people with common interests and passions together, conversation is easy.  And that’s just what happened; there was a lot of great mingling, some wonderful conversations, and a lot of laughter.  It was the perfect night!

A list of attendees is forthcoming (Who ended up with that?), but if you couldn’t make it and want to be added to the list for the next tweetup – yes, there will be a next one! – just let me know!

Thanks to all who came and made it such a wonderful evening!
