Hi everyone! Some bloggers have reached out to me regarding the U.S. Blogapalooza event. The event will be happening on Saturday, August 26 in the Chicago area. Thank you to those who signed up and helped pay the deposit over the past few weeks. The money was used to reserve the location. There is still lots of room for others who may want to attend. If you have any questions, please reach out to me at: amaya587@gmail.com Dinner is $30-40 per person. You are also welcome to bring guests. The meal can be paid for at the restaurant. We will have guest speakers and fun! Although this is a smaller event, I know it’s still going to be a blast! Unfortunately, a few bloggers had to cancel or couldn’t go this year. This will most likely be the last post regarding Blogapalooza. The list of attendees so far includes:

Marci from What’s for Dinner Moms

Van from Van by the River

Linda from Nutsrok + 1 guest

Sylvester from Syl65

Tracy from A Joyful Process + 1 guest

Phil from The Phil Factor

Erika Kind

April E. Sutton from April’s Prospective

Lisa from Life of an El Paso Woman

A few other maybes

Please let me know if I forgot anyone ASAP!

Event Info

Our dinner will be held at Chicago Prime Italian in Schaumburg, Illinois on Saturday Aug. 26, 2017 at 6 p.m. for about three hours. Depending on traffic, Schaumburg is around 40 minutes away from Chicago using public transportation or a taxi. You may even be able to stay in Schaumburg. We (the Blogapalooza Committee) decided on Schaumburg because costs were more reasonable than Chicago. The meal includes an appetizer, soup or salad, Italian entrée, drinks (non-alcoholic is a separate cost) and dessert. Please feel free to share this by reblogging and/or social media.

Hello everyone! My name is Lisa Amaya. I'm a 30 some year old mom to one son. My blog is about my life, entertainment, current events, people and events in my hometown, El Paso, Texas, etc. My blog will also feature pieces about Ciudad Juarez, Mexico and surrounding areas in New Mexico. I also hope to include more travel blog posts. Guest bloggers will also contribute from time to time! I've been a writer since I was 6 years old. I graduated from New Mexico State University with a degree in journalism. I've written for various newspapers and magazines. I plan on focusing more of my time on blogging and freelance writing. I took a five-year break from writing but I'm back at it! Thank you for stopping by and welcome!

    The U.S. Blogapalooza is coming closer and closer! I can hardly wait to meet more bloggers who already feel like old friends.
    For the ones of you who live in the Chicago area or who are able and would love to visit the windy city, hey, don’t think twice! It is still time to register!
