Going to San Antonio!

In this edition of the Blog Carnival, it was a party. A large party with attendees from all over the world!

Los Angeles-Lydia of CovertEffect ‘took’ us to Saints and Sinners lounge to start our evening. Her post gave a fantastic description of a neat bar so it became the imaginary setting for our party.

Over drinks and over good music, everyone was kind of mingling but you could tell no one had ever met before. There were lots of people, but conversation was stilted and quiet. Something needed to be done soon or the entire night would consist of people just sitting and drinking and this needed to be a party!

Washington, DC-Jon of The DC Traveler saw the situation and stood up. He pulled out his Zippo-clicked it open-and started telling us about the building of a better lighter.

With the ice broken the conversation picked up a bit in tempo-

San Diego-Carole from the San Diego Beat showed us a video of of surfer and other beach goers.

Dubai-Grace from Sandier Pastures started telling her neighbor Ant about the problems Dubai is experiencing with government finances and the road toll experiment that is in the works.

Orlando, Florida-Ant of The Beef Jerky Blog shook his head in sympathy with Grace’s comments and then began sharing with her the story of his trip to Disney World and his first day with Mickey.

Seattle-Mary Jo of The Seattle Traveler moved the conversation from Mickey to Movie by letting everyone know about the Midnight Movies that are being shown at the Egyptian Theater in her city.

New York-Madeleine of Mad Kane’s Humor Blog really got the party started when she started telling the story of a woman who won a civil rights lawsuit against New York city when the city said she wasn’t allowed to go topless in public.

After the uproar died down more of the international attendees began to speak:

Delhi-Down near the end of the table, Kalyan of Kalyan Speaketh began the conversation anew with a well defined case for visiting the museums of a city.

Buenos Aries-at the middle of the table Alan of Buenos Tours began a fascinating description of the Feria de Mataderos. He told of dancing and shopping and delicious street food.

Amsterdam- Mark of Hot Strategies gave an overview of all the neat things to see and do and places to stay in Amsterdam.

Gozo-Martin of Total Dismay joined in with a description of his oasis in his city.

Overall the party was a huge success! Everyone posting recognizably about cities got to speak their piece and everyone had a good time!
