Roving band of expat bloggers takes over Basel
The first big Swiss expat blogger meet-up took place in Basel today. About 25 bloggers and significant others were there to mix, mingle, and learn each other's real names.
After several hours of eating, drinking, and musical chairs, we were led on a little walking tour of downtown Basel by The Big Finn, who made up some city history to share with the group.
So much fun was had by all that we decided we must do another such meet-up. It was decided the next one will be in Zurich, possibly the weekend of March 24th to correspond with this.
It was great to meet you all! The experience was kind of like going to Disney World for the first time and seeing all your favorite characters come to life. Except at this thing, they were all wearing pants.

Wow....that was fast! We decided to watch the Bears beat the Seahawks, so I'll post some pictures tomorrow.
It was great seeing everybody today!
Bears and seahawks? You watched a nature show rather than blogging?
Big fun! Definitely looking forward to another meet up!
Wow--that looks so awesome! Can't wait to be an expat again so I can meet up with fellow expat bloggers:)
that looks like a lotta fun! cool idea.
The mandatory nametags in the first photo are cute!
It was great to meet you! Hopefully next time we'll actually have a chance to chat. Musical chairs is a must next time around. We'll mark our calendars and hopefully we can make the Zurich date.
HA! You didn't waste a second! It was so much fun meeting all of you and literally being able to put real names to blogs and faces.
Looking forward to the next meeting!

That sounds like a blast. I love how blogging creates the weirdest and most wonderful celebrities.
