Yesterday I got to go on a blate (blogger +date) (blog +meet) whatever, a blate with Amber and Neely!
If you aren't reading their blogs: Brunch with Amber and A Complete Waste of Makeup, you are missing out so get your butt over there and do it. You probably are though. But just in case, check.
Hi again.
Hi again.
Anyway, I was sooooo excited and nervous to meet with them, they are a LOT cooler than me.
But I did pick up some etiquette along the way for a first blate:
1. Put on deodorant. You really don't want to smell. Also, change out of the shirt you slept in.
2. Practice your smile, you don't want to scare them. You need to appear normal.
That one is scary, try another.
3. Tweet about the fact that y'all are meeting. Make others VERY jealous.
4. Arrive on time or early, you don't want to be late. Duh.
5. Talk about blogging. Talk about other bloggers. Talk about your lifestyle/fashion/boys.
6. Be NICE.
7. Get a pic of you all together. So you can blog about it later.
But truly, this was a great experience. They could not have been nicer to me. And I LOVE them!
It is amazing the things you find out you have in common. Like for example we all like Starbucks- how could that possibly be?!
I mean but seriously, I think blogging brings people into your life that you might never have met before, people you can really bond with and I am so happy I got to meet these two lovelies.

Have you ever had a blate? What is proper blate etiquette?

Love this! I'm super shy when I first meet someone so if I were to ever go on a blate we'd need to be at a bar where i could get sloppy (or tipsy, whatever) haha.
Love this!! I wrote an entirely too-excited post about it Monday, but I had my first "blate" last weekend with Lauren from oolalalauren and we cut the awkward shiz and just got straight up druuunnnk. It was so freaking fabulous :)
Why are you in silly Texas?! Move east and we'll blate like no one has ever blated before.
Going to a blogger meet up tomorrow night! Thanks for the tips! ;)
Maybe now they'll like me. They'll really, really, like me!
hahaha! This is funny! :)

This was awesome! If people meet their spouse/significant other online, then why not make new friends from online?!?!
I'm still giggling over your " smile" picture
Baha - BLATE? LOVE IT!

This sounds like so much fun! I've never met any fellow bloggers before, but have certainly developed friendships that I never would have made otherwise :))

I have never had a blate but now when I do I will know just how to act! Ha!! :-)
I had my first blogging blate a few months ago and it was soo much fun! I agree that blogging lets you make new friends otherwise you never would've met and it's pretty awesome.

I've only been on one before and we met at a Starbucks. I think bloggers are just REALLY into Starbucks lol Glad you had a great first blate. This post made me laugh so hard!
I'm glad you had a great blate! Deoderant - important daily. Note to all. hahaha
haha i love your blate preparation yes deoderant is always always good! and a blate is like a blind date except you already know so much about the other person that the conversation flows really well and also it is fun to tell your husband oh i going to meet someone i met on the internet, haha!
love the idea behind a 'blate'...But Im still new to blogging so one day I'll blate to hopefully

Not taking with me my leica cameras is a mortal sin in a blate. I love taking photos of the fun we are having!
I'm just going to come out and say it, because if you can't be real on the internet where can you be real? I am stalking your popular post section of your blog and this made me laugh very hard. Fantastic.
I also jumped over to Brunch with Amber's blog where her most recent post is her doing a Keg stand. I also like her too.
