We will be sharing our Left Coast Crime roundup on Friday, but we wanted to focus today on one of the highlights of the convention: A Suite Life Happy Hour!
On Friday night, we were delighted to welcome Colleen, Chris, Del, Dianne, Fran, Jack, Laurie, Leslie, Linda, Marilyn, Mary, and Mary Lou to the Chicks Suite for wine and cheese and conversation.
We had Mingle Time, circled up for a lovely Group Chat, and finished with The Bestowing of Eggatha Chickstie Pins, which led to an Honorary Chick oath (thank you, Mary Lou) and the creation of our first official Chicks dance.
A huge thank you to our guests–it was absolutely wonderful to spend the time with you, and we hope you enjoyed the evening as much as we did! We loved meeting you and are looking forward to keeping in touch here at the blog. xo 🐣
There’s truly nothing better than meeting readers. Love these photos and love the folks in them!
Ditto!
Talk about make your day! Love the pics, love the chicks and I’m proud to be one.
Big Thanks for the fun party. Happy Reading to all.
Mary Lou, thank you for the comment–yay!–and we love you too! Thank you for making the party so fun.
We all loved meeting you and your hubby, Mary Lou! And I had the honor of fastening on your Chicks pin! Next we will have to come up with a secret hand (wing?) shake.
Yay! Thanks for coming to the ARC, and thanks for saying hi! <3
Hi, Mary Lou! We had a great time hanging out with you and the other guests in Reno!
Chick Power! So happy to meet you and your family in person, Mary Lou!
Mary Lou, I haven’t had so much fun “pinning” someone since Kappa Kappa Gamma initiation at Tulane! SO glad we got to share this wonderful moment.
Great pictures!
Thank you, Liz! Wish you’d been at LCC too!
Some day. 🙂
No one can party like a Chick, that’s for sure! I miss you all already!
Miss you too so much! xo
Things are so quiet now…(sniff!)
Hooray for Left Coast Crime! It was so great meeting/seeing everyone who came to our ARC. I wish we could host cocktail parties together more often!
Looks like that was a ton of fun. Wish I could have been there.
Mark, we wish you could have been there, too! Maybe next time!
We wish you were there too!
What a blast! Looks like a BDE! So sad to have missed meeting all these beautiful people! Looks like the Chicks ruled the roost! I am so happy for you all. I imagine meeting fans is only beat out by a new book being released. Until I get published I am thrilled to be a forever fan.
Aw, thanks, Hestia! We look forward to hanging out with you at a future conference!
We wish you were there too!
