I know I already have a meet-up post running (on the Facebook group, the wig party,) but Crystal just reminded me that I needed to start planning Sparklefest the Second. This year I want it to be a completely different event than last year.

1. It will not be in any way related to my birthday.
2. Instead of at a bar, it will be a formal ball at a banquet in ( Read more... )

Edit: it looks like there is enough interest to make this a full-fledged meet-up! So I will be creating a main post when I get home from work tomorrow!

Does anyone want to hang out downtown for cupcakes and window shopping or maybe ice cream? I don't really know where to go but I have no problem wandering around. I want to go sometime this Thursday, Friday or Saturday. I know it's super short notice so if you can't come but have suggestions on where to go please let me hear them.
