On Saturday, a very exciting thing happened. A veritable bounty of bloggers descended upon Chicago. They came from all over just to meet and talk about kid-lit and blogging. One of the Three Silly Chicks was there.
Sadly, the other two had to stay in the coop and keep the bean dip chilled. Or warmed. Or something.
While Andrea was a bit sad to venture from the coop without Julia and Carolyn, she was mighty glad to meet so many cool and very funny folk.
And, best of all, beause they are bloggers, so many of them posted about their adventures in Chicagoland! Here are only a few of the posts about the weekend.
Thanks especially to Robin Brande for organizing this wonderful weekend! And to Esme Raji Codell for bringing together some of Chicago's authors to meet and greet folks.
It was so much fun. We wish the coop was bigger so we could have everybody over for salsa at our place. Oh boy! The feathers would fly (with fun) for sure!
These are just some of the great blogs represented at the conference. Hope you enjoy some of these great posts and pics!

Hi Andrea! It was great to meet you -- I just loved Iggy Peck; can't wait to go buy myself a copy! And yeah, it's not for kids (have none) -- it's for me. Keep up the great work!
Great meeting you, too!
Hope to run into you again some time!
