WHOA. This was definitely the biggest group yet (13 lovely ladies) – and such a great group it was
In spite of us taking up nearly all of the restaurant, and being quite cramped in the process, lunch was great (amazing food) and Somnio’s backyard provided the perfect setting for our group pictures…And we were so large this time, we had to divide in two to take the pictures (no, not really, but we wanted to get the newbies all together for a picture first
)

From L to R: Cassiday, Mai, Laura, “Elinor“, Rose
Then the “regulars”…and a couple of newbies who sneaked back in

From L to R: Amy, Jillian, Sandhya, Anslee, Diya, Michelle, me, Rose, Mai
NOT PICTURED: Indiana graciously took the second picture
And in honor of Diya’s birthday, Amy brought her a cupcake, then we walked over to Sugarmama’s and got MORE.

So, on to next week. Lunch will be on Thursday, July 29 at 12:30, and I know all the ladies who went to the bleet-up wanted to go to Snap Kitchen (triangle location), but it seems like it’s just take-out. If anyone knows otherwise, and at least we could get something and they have a place to sit and eat, I’m game for that, otherwise I’ll suggest Cantina Laredo on 3rd (free parking in the City Hall garage) or Maudie’s Milagro near me, on 360 (WAYY up North
). Oh, or Matt’s El Rancho on Lamar…(I’m kind of in the mood for tex-mex)
**edited: Lunch this week is at Central Market (North Lamar location)
Please leave a comment to RSVP and/or with your lunch suggestion/preference. If you’ve signed up for the newsletter, You will automatically receive a notice on Wednesday with details about the lunch, and I’ll need you to also reply to that to confirm your attendance, but I do still need all the ladies who’ll come to RSVP here so everyone else will know who’s coming – especially if you’re new, we’d like to look you up first
Just kidding..but really, if you can, please RSVP here too. thank you.
About the ATX Ladies who Lunch:
The lunches are open to anyone who is a local fashion blogger, blogger, designer, interested in fashion, entrepreneur, etc. I’m trying to make the lunches a bit more “formal” by having new Ladies who Lunch introduce themselves and talk a little about what they do, and we also have a brainstorming/discussion session where everyone can ask questions about blogging, get help with ideas, or discuss issues they’re dealing with. We’re here to help one another and draw inspiration from learning about what everyone else is doing. So, if you’re interested, please join us; you’re always welcome.

Hi Grechen,
I’ve never come before, but I want to this week. I’m too lame to have a blog, but I write for a website that might one day grow to include fashion (SeeSawAustin.com). I think I met you for a second at the BleetUp, but it’ll be nice to actually get to talk to you.

I’m so excited that people are interested in Snap Kitchen! Me and the girls from outofcontrolfatroll.com served as a focus group for Snap before they opened. Martin and the gang from Snap Kitchen are awesome and I am all for supporting them!
That being said, it’s not really an eat-in place. I am down for Central Market if I am able to take a longer lunch break than usual. I’m hoping to make it after missing 2 weeks in a row!
I can make it this week, so count me in! I love Central Market!
