KK - You have been notably absent for a few weeks - are you on hiatus?  When will we see you back in the Rain?

I wish I could be there. I'm sure you'll take lots of fantastic photos of the event! Where have you been?

mmmm mmmm  Mexican food... we're just doing hot dogs. 

mmmmmm mmmm Hot Dogs...

BTW, Joe & Rudy are video taping the whole tour. We'll have pics on the blog as well. 

my mmmm mmmm was totally sincere.  I love Mexican food.  It is my numero uno. 

They are interviewing bikers now in the Smokey Mtns.  Not bicycle bikers but Harley kind... I am not sure if they are Outlaw Bloggers.  

update - on the road live blogging - via the blogmobile - 72mph - I-75 North - partly cloudy - NO HUMIDITY!

hi kristal!

that's an impressive list of participants. will we have a mariachi band? joe managed to get in some trouble a few minutes ago......video to come....... :)

- rudy.sellsius° 

We have one more  (Jason Adams) who signed up and will be there, but is not on the list...I will double check it!

Holy Canoli! A post from Kristal? May miracles never cease!!! Now if we can just get Maureen out of hibernation, I'd be a really happy camper!

looks like a great party!!

maybe the Florida people will turn out en masse if Kristal Kraft comes to our party!!

Darn...I am always up for a good FIESTA!  I knew nothig about it.  Good luck my friend.

Kristal, good to have you back and blogging again.  That looks like a great list of member that you have there.  We expect to see a lot of pictures from this get together!!!!

Hey Kristal...

Yeah... it looks like Todd beat us to the punch on organizing this.   I'm a slacker, what can I say.

Thanks for posting, and I look forward to meeting you!

Kristal- Thanks for the reminder. I can't wait to finally meet everyone. What a treat.

Sorry we won't be with you in Denver, but we were fortunate enough to have Rudy and Joe from Sellsius and their USA Blog Tour here in St Pete. We really enjoyed the time with both of them.

Wow, looks like a great turnout. :)

Derek isn't on the list, I assume he is still going? And Lonetta Parsons is coming with me.

Kristal - I got to meet the Sellsius boys in St Pete - wish I coud be there for the Fiesta - I want good pictures and scoop after - pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase!!! 

P.S. Love seeing you in the Rain

Krystal,

Thanks for the post. I was wondering where you were. Good to see you in the mix of things.

Kristal - I got in to late but will definately try and make the next one. Looking forward to the follow up posts!

The absence of replies by Kristal to the comments raises a little bit of a red flag to me....

Tony, I know Kristal had some personal business to attend to today.

 Some of the questions asked had to be defered to me since I set up the event blog and registration page. I know I answered Joanne's concern by email this afternoon. 28 bloggers are now signed up. They are linked in the right column of the event blog. blogfiesta.mariah.com. in addition, about 50 total people have registered. RE agents, a title rep, loan officers, home stagers, fsbo agents, and a few related technology company reps are in the mix. Tomorrow morning, I will meet with the Garcia's manager to determin exactly how many people will fit in the room. Then I will cut off registration when we hit it.

Dena, I don't see a Derek on the list. Lonetta is registered though. 

Justin, I hadn't really planned on coordinating the event. I emailed Joe & Rudy just to say I wanted to attend. I think it worked out well though. By teaming up with Kristal & Rob, we were able to attract non-bloggers, independent bloggers, and Active Rain members. 

Maureen, yea, I was sincere about the Hot Dogs too! :-)

Rudy -  No band. But if you tune the blogmobile's fm dial to 96.5 at about the same time as you start to see the mountains, you'll be able to get your curumba on, all the way into Denver.

You know I would love to go.

Todd ~ Thanks for responding to the questions.  I'm delighted to hear we have such a good number registered!  You've done a terrific job of getting the word out.

Floyd ~ I don't think it's too late yet...of course maybe you meant you had a conflict with the date.  Hope you can come to the Fiesta!

 Cyndee ~ Guess the NYC Guys are having a good time on the road trip.  Glad to hear you all enjoyed the party at Sharon's place.

Dena ~ I think Todd answered your question. There is a blogger list and also a guest list.  Are you referring to the mysterious other half of Mariana?  :)

Susan ~ Yes, I agree!

Sharon ~ We aren't going to let you have ALL the fun!  Glad to hear your party was a success...thanks for doing it!

Jennifer ~ Me too!  At least you and I will know each other! :)

Justin ~ Todd has done an incredible job.  You aren't a slacker...

George ~ I will do what I can.  I've actually been busy blogging on my other blog.  Too many links from AR is not wise.

George T. ~ Yes I agree, our Fiesta will be awesome.  Wish you could make the trip...

David ~ You flatterer you!  Thanks for the compliment!  Nice words are always welcome!

Rich ~ Canoli? No Sopapias maybe.  So you aren't a happy camper? So sorry...

Joanne ~ I think Todd explained there are two lists, bloggers and guests.  Maybe Jason is on the guest list.

Rudy ~ You guys must stay OUT of trouble.  Do not speed, the Colorado Bears will get you and escort you to a mailbox to mail your fine.  Be good now, we want you here safe and in one piece.

Maureen ~ Harley bikers are usually the doctors and lawyers of the world acting out their James Dean dreams.  No problems!

Monika ~ I've been excited and focused about a project I have going.  Plus I've had some personal tragedy recently...lost my Father and my oldest, dearest friend, all in the same week.

Tony ~ no red flags, just busy and see my answer to Monika.  Now you know so you can relax! :) 

Oh KK..I am so sorry about your dad and your friend! I hope your memories of them bring you comfort.

Kristal, sorry to here about your Dad, and your friend.  One loss is hard enough to deal with, but two so close together is very difficult. 

KK - Very sorry to hear the sad news.  I'll relax - but will be thinking of you.  Keep the faith.

We're full. Today I had to give notice to the restaurant manager as whether or not we were going to reserve the over flow room. We have just enough people to fill the first room. It will basically double my costs (hundreds of my own dollars) to add even a couple more people. If you still want to come to the show, but haven't registered, email me a todd@mariah.com. i can't guaranty anything, but might be able to work something out with Garcia's early next week.

Just booked my ticket for the one in San Francisco. I think Active Rain should sponser an "Online Webcam Based" conference when this is all over!  Wish I could come to all of them, imagine how many friends from the rain I'd get to meet!  WOW!  Thanks Kristal.  B-)

KK - I didn't know...you're in our thoughts and prayers!!
