AR Bloggers Eat Well Tonight - Dining "The Rome Way"

Thanks to Margaret Rome, Active Rain bloggers in the Baltimore area ate well tonight. Margaret provided dinner at the Olive Branch restaurant in Pikesville, MD.

A special bonus was that the dinner was being videotaped by Realtor Magazine for an article they're doing on Margaret, for their Master Series. Kudos Margaret.

Tomorrow, we'll meet out at an open house that Margaret is holding. I hear that we may actually meet another special active rain blogger. Check back tomorrow for more pictures.

Wow! Eat your heart out guys. I got my picture taken with a real AR Diva, Margaret Rome. She is even nicer in person than in her writings on Active Rain.

Rich and Margaret

The doctor is in and she's wonderful. My bud from EOP Realty, Dr. Stacey Ann Baugh.

Rich and Stacey Ann

Some people will drive 250 miles for a Maryland Crab Cake. The one and only, C Tann Starr. She is just as animated in person as she is on her blog. BTW, her camera is really an extension of her hand.

Rich and CTann

Isn't this just like a bunch of Active Rain bloggers. Looks like four checking messages. Crab cakes are eaten, time to check messages.

Margaret, Bridgett, C Tann and Stacey. There is a lot of talent captured here.

I wasn't kidding when I said that the dinner was videotaped.

It really was a fun evening. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. I am going to reblog this since I didn't take any pictures.

Richard - It looks like everyone had a great time. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Rich:

That must have been fantastic!

Look like you all had a great time.

Great shot of everyone checking their phones, isn't that what we all do all day long!!!!

Richard, looks like everyone had a great time!

Tomorrow shall be a blast. Looking forward to spending more time with everyone. It was a real treat to meet you. :-)

Hi Rich - It looks like everyone had a great time. It's great to get out with your colleagues once in a while.

Wow! Looks like y'all were having a great time. Can't wait for more pics...

Helping you to help others live their American dream...

GOOD MORNING RICH! Everyone does look like they are enjoying themselves! I like your "partially" clean shaved look! -- Gab

Hello Richard. Looks like everyone had a great time. I never was very comfortable eating while being videotaped. I hope you didn't have the same problem.

Richard,

It looks as though everyone was having a great time. And you are right it did look like an Active Rain get together.

Richard, I'm sorry I missed it. I had such a busy week that I wasn't playing in the Rain all week and when I finally got around to catching up at 6pm last night it was already too late to make arrangements to go out. Next time call me!! Looks like you all had a great time.

Rich - Good food with good friends. It doesn't get any better in my book.

I love the photo of all of them checking messages. Cannot - stop - even - for - dinner!

Love it! I was at a Hershey Bears hockey game last night, in box seats, and my blackberry was on the table in front of me. Next to the Corona of course.

I just read an article that claims "owning a Blackberry adds 10 days to your work year!" I think you just proved it by that photo!

Looks like such a great time!

Rich, I've been following Carolyn's updates on your 2 day get-together. I know you're having a great time. Margaret Rome is the best!

C drove 250 miles for a Maryland crabcake? I believe that, actually. Even though we all know that C goes to great lengths to connect with friends. Thanks for the photos. I felt like I was actually there, except for the eating crabcake part.

Always so much better IRL. Thanks for sharing!

How cool is that?! How lucky are you, you handsome devil, to be photographed with all those beautiful women!

Debi

That's an impressive collection of real estate and blogging talent. You and John MacArthur are some lucky guys!

Richard, it looks like you shaved your beard off for the crab cake dinner. Sounds like you all had a fun time. I'm jealous.

it does indeed look like everyone had a wonderful time!

It their were cupcakes after the crabcakes that just takes the cake!

Looks like you all had a great time. Maryland Crab cakes yummy. Can't wait to view the article when it is released.

Wish I could have been there. I'm a fan of several of those bloggers!

Wow, it looked like everyone had fun. Kudos to Margaret R. for hosting the event - at Olive Garden, no less! Real classy. Maybe we can get one of our local celebs to host an AR get-together in my neck of the woods.

That is a great way to meet other AR member. good foodand good company.

Looks like you all had a great time, and hopefully a great meal also!

Great way to get to meet AR friends. Good food and good company is always fun.

My ears weren't ringing, Richard. Bet this crowd had more interesting subject matter! P.S. I like your beardless look too.

Now that's what I call family. Give me some "food for thought" about doing something like that here...

Richard,

Cool. I loved the masters series on our Anna Banana Krutchens. I will look forward to the one on Margaret.

Thanks for sharing even if it couldn't include sending us the Maryland crab cakes, too!

All the best, Michelle

Great pictures. I am jealous of the crabcakes!!! Looks like a great time was had by all. What a great way to get to meet other Active Rainers.

Wow wish I could have gone !!!!!!!! Only one &1/2 hr away from Balt.. hey did JMac have pizza ???(*L*)

Richard,

Thanks for sharing these great pix! It's ALMOST as good as being there! NOT! This is great news for Margaret!

Great pictures Richard. I have never met Margaret but we have spoken many times. She is a sweetheart. Looks like you all had a wonderfful time.

Hi Richard. Looks like fun. I love Margaret Rome's book. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Rich...

Who can be a bigger celebrity than Carolyn Tann-Starr? That's as close to the top as you can get!

You lucky guy you!! Enjoy....

Patricia/Seacoast NH

I was there too! Just on the other side of the table. Great shots!!!!

Anna

Richard,

Looks like a great time! Wish I lived closer...

Ann Hayden in Wildwood, MO

Hi Rich~ I have actually spoke with Margaret on the phone and she one fantastic woman! I wish I could have been there!

One thing's for sure... where there's food, there's a Realtor. Hah.Looks like everyone enjoyed the evening.

Looks like a good time!!

How fun Richard. I used to live in the DC area and the 1st time I was at a Maryland Blue Crab backyard bushel fest, I went into anaphylaxis. But boy were they good!

I didn't see this until too late, but I don't like crab cakes anyway. Looks like a great time though.

A great time for sure...wish I could have been in attendance..I DO LIKE crab cakes :)

Looks like a lot of fun. What a great networking opportunity for all of you, and it's even on video.

Rich - I would love to have been there to meet all of you. Looks like you had a great time!

Oh Rich -- I love Olive Garden and real Maryland Crab Cakes! What a special treat from the hostess. Thanks for sharing and I've already read and enjoyed the follow up at the house by C. Tann.

You both have done a great job of "taking us there".

Thanks, Sue of Robin and Sue

This is fun looking. Thanks for the photo story of the AR event in Maryland!

Richard looks like you all had a great times. Thanks for sharing your photos, C- showed a different set. There is always something special about meeting on-line friends off-line.

Looks like it was a lot of fun for everyone! Hope you have a great day!

Looks like everyone had a great time. Now if I could just get up there for those crab cakes...

What a nice evening and much fun, obviously. Thank you for sharing the photos!

Now I want a crab cake! Thanks!

Me too Maryland crab cakes please! Thanks for sharing your story about the big event Richard. Great pics - and too funny that everyone was checking their messagses. That is so AR!

Richard - LOVE the pic of everybody with their Crackberries and iPhones checking their messages! Great pics.....thank you SO much for sharing. Someday I hope to make it to one of these AR meetups!

Richard - Sounds like Margaret went all out to reat everyone well for dinner !

It's wonderful how so many talented AR people are not getting spotlighted on Realtor Mag, etc because of their posts. I enjoyed the Anna Banana article this month.
