Rooftop Picnic Update!

July 28, 2009 by Joy the Baker 27 Comments

Oooooh geez!  

Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you!  

I received an overwhelming response to my rooftop picnic plans.  You and you and you over there…. you guys are rad!  

I’ll send out email invitations later today.  Keep your eyes peeled.  

Unfortunately, because of the huge response, I am unable to extend an invitation to each and every one of you.  I received more requests than I have room for.  Bummer.  Total bummer.  But stay close!  I’ll let you know as more spaces become available.  I want to see as many of your smiling faces as possible.  Wait…. have I mentioned that I’m shy?  I guess on August 23rd I’m not shy… not shy at all.

Let’s not forget the virtual picnic!  More details on that as the date approaches.

    I see I’m not the only one who will be joining your picnic mentally (or should I say virtually)! Enjoy! And if you ever travel to Chicago – call me – we’ll do lunch!

    i would totally swing by LA for a cupcake picnic. is that lame? my friends would probably think so and i’m ok with that. but i will be celebrating here in Atlanta. in a non-creepy stalker kinda way, i hope i do meet you one day. that would be too cool.
