I'm seriously going to have to do some major begging to the family and tell them to score me tickets or something as a birthday/Christmas/just-because-I'm-awesome present. Loved reading about your time though, made me super excited, lol. And jealous, but we'll pretend that didn't happen. ;DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125233179936753205.post-61918899260076358552013-05-15T07:36:15.530-06:002013-05-15T07:36:15.530-06:00Ahhhh Brandee, sounds like you had a FANTASTIC tim...Ahhhh Brandee, sounds like you had a FANTASTIC time, I am SO happy for you :D What an amazing experience for your first time out to a convention like this! I sure am hoping right now that I'll have as much fun when I go up to BEA as you did at RT!!! Loved the pictures, your highs and lows AND your gushing :D Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful experience ♥Michelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09220874121683955988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125233179936753205.post-4474071068195106412013-05-15T01:55:57.522-06:002013-05-15T01:55:57.522-06:00Everyone who has talked about RT had a lot of fun!...Everyone who has talked about RT had a lot of fun! I'm green with envy and well I'm just glad everyone who attended had a great time! Yes, business cards are important. At least you know what to prep for next time. :)<br /><br />I attended a local book festival this weekend and I have to say romance writers were the nicest! The local chapter of RWA, the ladies were awesome to talk to. I had no idea how to approach their booth and they just waved hello and told me to help myself to swag and some signed books even though I wasn't there for that.

Much better venue than Kansas City - although I won't complain about it. :)<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by Lexxie - even if I induced some jealousy.

LOL And I'd love you to make business cards and bookmarks for us - that'd be awesome! It was a lot of fun but truly exhausting for me. Being social when you're not that social takes a lot out of you! ;) And I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who blushes so easily...it really was embarrassing. :) Thanks for sharing my experience with me, Jaclyn!

I'm glad you can empathize with my red face. People really do love calling attention to it. One of my co-workers enjoys trying to make me blush! I really am introverted - my husband was shocked when I told him about talking to these authors. But I just told myself I may not have this kind of opportunity again and I don't think they're going to mind my gushing over their work, right? I mean, if I met you, would you mind me fangirling over you?!? LOL Oh, and it totally counts that you smiled at a guy! I'm proud of you for that! :) Anyway...the books...I KNOW! I came home with 90 something books! And I have codes for ebook freebies too! Truly, I don't know when I'll have the time to read them all! ;) I hope you had a marvelous Mother's Day, Robyn. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment.

I cannot believe all the authors you got to meet. So incredible. I would have been blushing exactly the same way so don't feel bad. Thank you so much for sharing this experience!

I love the recap. ...Brandee, what a wonderful trip. I love the recap. Sadness about the flight and then the zipper! Kind of funny about the socks, maybe not yet for you. Too soon. I turn red just like that. The kids at my son's preschool love it. Why do people always call attention to it? I've never understood. Maybe because we turn even redder! I feel like such an introvert since becoming a special needs mom that I can't imagine being as social as you were. That is so awesome. I smiled through the entire post, then I said out loud, OH MY GOD, at your book haul. No wonder you mentioned the hairdryer taking up space. Goodness!! I still can't imagine meeting all those authors. I feel even more shy now that I am an author. I need to snap out of that. I did sort of smile at a guy the other day. That counts as coming out of my shell, right? Happy Mother's Day, Brandee!! And thanks for sharing your awesome trip with us!robgirlbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03398614063792587098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125233179936753205.post-74151572384306732342013-05-11T22:02:41.497-06:002013-05-11T22:02:41.497-06:00I was there this year too it was great.
