When Su arrived the party began. OK, not so much, we were still a half an hour away from our hotel. Once we got to our hotel we checked our bags and asked the bellmen where to eat. Since I was on the phone with Emma Holly (your damn skippy I'm going to name drop, LOL) Su got the directions. We were going to walk in over 90 degree heat but we had just spend $50 on our cab ride so walking it was. The walk wouldn't have been too bad if Su had remembered the fact that we were supposed to turn left at Houston, 10 minutes prior! We finally found our restaurant and ordered drinks immediately! It was a mexican restaurant but it was a little bit pricey so we decided to do drinks and apps and hit several restaurants. I picked a shrimp ceviche for us and Su picked pork gorditas. The gorditas blew the shrimp away. Sorry, no pics, we dug right into our food, LOL. Good thing our gorditas were huge because I got a call from Gennita Low and she wanted us to join her at the bar. The walk was so much easier when you don't make wrong turns or rather make the turns you're supposed to make, LOL.
Sitting with Jenna at the bar was CJ Barry aka Samantha Graves. I met CJ last year but this time around got to spend more time with her (all at the bar, LOL) and I'm very excited to read her new book, Sight Unseen.


While waiting to order Pamela Clare called and I handed the phone off to Su since I thought I was getting close to getting served and Su didn't care that PC was naked, she told her to slap some pasties on and get her butt to the hotel and when Su talks, people listen.

9 Mannions Speak :
I love all the pics and stories from RWA!
It made me realize I really need to get my butt to it next year LOL
Glad you're home safe chic
Yaaaay more piccies. I am truly happy you love taking piccies so we can experience it all vicariously.
LOL at the "slap the pasties on" comment.
I loved the pasties too! Crack me up. Good times!
OMFG, what a great time you guys had! What an awesome time.
It was incredibly fun watching YOU TWO having fun ;-).
LOL! I can totally hear Su saying that to Pam on the phone with half the room listening. What a riot.
I was ready to barf at the name dropping bit, but since I haven't eaten all day, there's nothing to throw out. LOL.
Girls, you make me so jealous. And to think that Dallas should have been a "been able to do" this year for me since it's not cross country. Now I have to plan again for next year maybe. I would love to go to one of these kinds of events!
Love the pictures and the great tales of you two. You definitely know how to have a good time!
Hugs and smooches!!
I just want to point out that I knew EXACTLY how to get to where we were going. I just didn't choose to share that information with Leiha!! :)
I figured we could use a little extra cardio in the 90 degree weather!! NOT!!!
Girl, it's a blast! If you can make it you should! I'm definitely in for next year.
You know that is such a Su comment, LOL. Yes I do love me the pictures.
Jenna, whenever we didn't know where you were we knew you were at the bar, don't even try!
LMAO, Nes!
Rosie, one of these days you'll have to plan to go. Authors here, authors there, authors authors everywhere!
Note to self, get directions myself, not with Su!
