I'm still very much an Active Rain grasshopper (when does one graduate?), trying to find my voice and place. Although I've connected with a number of bloggers and even met a couple in person, I had yet to attend an Active Rain Meet-Up. Today's Spring Meet-Up at G&M Restaurant in Linthicum Heights, MD was my chance. All I can say is that it was exactly like AR promises it to be and then some.
It was great to meet AR legends such as Margaret Rome, to see Bridget McGee again with whom I've held a mini-meet-up before and to get to know some other long-time Rainers. I was a wee-bit worried about being the new kid on the block but I was greeted with open arms and enjoyed chatting with many.
My only regret is that the group of about 15 was split up by being seated at 2 large tables and I didn't get to talk to everyone. Well, that and that our waitress couldn't say whether or not my soup was made with beef stock or not .. she 'didn't think so' but that's not quite the answer a vegetarian wants to hear.
Active Rain is not only the platform that got me into blogging and a treasure trove of knowledge, it's truly a wonderful community as well.
Thank You everyone - Margaret, Margaret, Rich, Martha, Bridget, Diane, June, Ellie, Helen, Denise, Hillary, Lucy and Valerie - I enjoyed meeting you all and hope to see you again soon!
