    I can't think of a better way to reach out to all our bloggin' friends! I'll be waiting out here in SF....beers in hand! You know...they called me the Keg Stand Queen in college...better bring your game!
  • sellsius · 2 years ago
    We will bring it NikNik.
  • Amy Blakeley · 2 years ago
    Won't be able to attend the conference, but I hope I'm still invited to the meet-up!
  • Erik Hersman · 2 years ago
    Great, let me know when you roll into Central Florida. Let me know when you have a graphic/banner for it and I'll make sure to help promote it.
  • Christian · 2 years ago
    Team WellcomeMat will start prepping Boulder for your arrival. Bring it!
  • sellsius · 2 years ago
    Amy, Erik & Christian---we look forward to meeting up with you all.

    You need to go green...

    2 bloggers in 1969 VW bus with a biodiesel engine.

    That's the stuff legends are made out of!
  • Jay Thompson · 2 years ago
    If you don't stop in Phoenix, then I'm sending my Sellsius t-shirt back to where it was I ordered it from!

    Actually, I'd never do that. I wore it to a poker tournament a couple of weeks ago and two people asked me, "What's a Sellsius?"
  • sellsius · 2 years ago
    That would be classic matt. Here was our original wagon :)

    We are going to Phoenix because you're there Jay. We would never pass up an opportunity to meet you.
  • Laurie Manny · 2 years ago
    Roadies, HA HA HA HA, How psychodelic.
    Groovy man, Groovy.

    See ya in San Francisco, unless you are stopping in LA or Long Beach first.

    You have to stop in St. Louis. . .you know. . .the "King of Beers".
    We'll have a frosty one for you so be sure to stop.
  • Sterner · 2 years ago
    I see a common theme here: everyone wants to get you drunk. Also, since I am seeing that your vehicle has not been 100% decided on, can I recommend that little mini-bike that the Dumb and Dumber duo covered so much ground with? "That John Denver's Full of ShXX!"

    “Beer with Bloggers” party.....

    I can't remember which blog I said it on but I think it was on Dustin L:uther's Rain City Guide where someone posted some party pictures and I made a comment about how I thought you guys drinked too much. Your party comment above confirms it!

    You know something is wrong when there is one guy in a long sleeve Sunday coat wearing shorts with a beer in his left hand.

    In that same comment about you guys drinking too much, I also said that I had not a clue what your blog was about. Is it a real estate site? With the exception of a real estate news brief here and there, I wouldn't say it's a real estate site. So what kind of site is this? Humm... My guess would be a site about whatever interesting pictures you guys have come across!

    It's a cross between a blog and fark.com

    If consumption of products made from barley, water, hops and yeast are important factors for inclusion on the Sellsius roadie, then you cannot skip Portland. After all, we are the self-proclaimed microbrewery capital of the nation. http://www.travelportland.com/media/mbmedkit/mb...

    Besides Portland would also make for a nice approach-for-arrival into SF--1,000 miles to sleep off a day spent at McMenamins Edgefield, for example, which could include a stay at the poor-farm-converted-to-hotel, 18 holes of challenging par-3 golf, garden walks, art tour, and glass-blowing demos, then capping it with dinner and a movie...sampling throughout the day from the the winery, 4 pubs, and the distillery...all on the same property.

    Or we could just tip 'em back at of only 46 other brewery locations within the city limits.

    So are you coming to the cold "Northland"? I know of a few bloggers who would be willing to meet at Tom Reid's for Appletini's (which the spell checker can't spell, but what the hey!).
  • Morgan · 2 years ago
    OC Round 2 - bring it!
  • Teresa Boardman · 2 years ago
    What Bonnie said. I think I started something in MN with the martinis, but they are the preferred beverage of MN bloggers and we would be happy to buy, if Reids will let us back in after what Bonnie and Lisa did last time. You betcha. In case you can't find us we are in between Wisconsin and the Dakotas, but north of Iowa, and slightly South of Canada. Home of blogging Bonnie, Lisa frozen toes Dunn, Alex Stenback, blogging Jake to name a few. You would never know it by reading my blog but Minnesota is the brain state, don'tcha ya know.
  • Missy Caulk · 2 years ago
    Ann Arbor is a fun place to be in the summer, lots to do and you can visit "The Big House" and go to the Google office, people stop by all the time.
  • Boston Real Estate · 2 years ago
    I agree with Matt. Go Green!
  • Beth Wewer · 2 years ago
    Hey, ya'll come on to St Louis. I would love to meet and share information. Will be waiting!!!
  • Allen Shannon · 2 years ago
    Surely you guys will be stopping by the Silicon Hills of Austin Texas....let us know.
  • Christoph Schweiger · 2 years ago
    If you stop in Phoenix, then you will also have to stop in Scottsdale! Dang, your first spoon in Arizona...
  • Daniel Rothamel · 2 years ago
    You know, Charlottesville is only like 6 hours from NYC. Why not drop in? I shall be in San Francisco for the Bloggers Connect and Inman Connect. Wish I could ride with you guys. . .
  • sellsius · 2 years ago
    Thanks everyone for your support. We will be setting up a list of cities to gauge interest in meetups. Please pass the word to your readers. (and digg the story so it reaches a wider audience.)

    Wherever we stop, we will have the cameras running (so no funny stuff :)
    If anyone is interested in organizing a meet-up in your city, let us know.
  • Merv · 2 years ago
    Northern Virginia? I have my famous pot roast waiting. Can the beer. Raid my wine cellar!
  • sellsius · 2 years ago
    Merv, You're a man after my own heart. We will have to stop in.
  • Allen Shannon · 2 years ago
    We've got some acreage down here you can park your RV on. If you want us to put something together for the local Austinites to get together just let me know. We'd be happy to show you the land.

    Are you guys going to be looking at any real estate on your trip? ;)
  • Alexander J. Wilkas · 2 years ago
    Have a great adventure, we will see you at Bloggers Connect in San Francisco and you can join Lenore and I for some "Great Wine"
  • Incredible Agent · 2 years ago
    I'm looking forward to seeing you guys sweat your beer bellies off in the middle of a Phoenix summer. You're going to love it. You'll have to stop by the Incredible Agent office for a tour and a beer.

    This is a great idea. keep it up.
  • sellsius · 2 years ago
    Phoenix is a must stop. I just hope the heat doesn't make us send nasty letters to zillow.
  • Jim · 2 years ago
    Pina Coladas in Paradise, CA?
    Last stop before SF?
    Or perhaps all of us Nor Cal RE bloggers just meet in Sacramento on the river for some Crab and Chardonnay!? I know Gena will be there for sure.
  • CJ, Broker in NELA CA · 2 years ago
    In Northeast L A, Corona is the brew of choice (my choice, anyway)
    I'll try not to drink them all before you get here.
  • Ronnie Roach · 2 years ago
    The Outer Banks of NC might be a good place to pick up some liquid refreshments. We are having our first blog summit on Thursday and there is a lot of interest in blogging from local Realtors. Your visit might be a good reason to get the group back together.
  • Kelley Koehler · 2 years ago
    Forget Phoenix. Scottsdale, bah. Who goes to Phoenix in July, are you kidding me? Tucson is cooler during the day and BY FAR cooler at night. Margaritas all around. Side trip to Nogales, anyone?
  • sellsius · 2 years ago
    Kelley----But Jay Thompson, THE Phoenix Guy is there. And he's cool all year round :)

    Ronnie---Love the Outer Banks. Would go down to Hatteras for the Eastern Surfing Association Championships (jf)
  • Jay Thompson · 2 years ago
    Thanks Joe! Don't listen to Kelley -- those Tucson people, always touting how it's "cooler" there. Yeah, like the difference between 110 and 105 is all that much.

    The Tucson crew can always come up here. It's only 90 minutes away. Heck, I can put a couple of them up at my house... we can make this thing work!
  • Steven Stearns · 2 years ago
    Finally!

    ...and you CAN"T go on a BeEr and Bl0GginG tour witout Stopping in Brewtown-Milwaukee WI. How about it? I can even get some boggers out for ya. Free. I'll even buy a round.
  • Justin Smith- CREN · 2 years ago
    Yo! The staff at CREN would love to meet up with you guys in Denver or anywhere in Colorado for that matter!!!
  • sellsius · 2 years ago
    Steven---We may be able to get that round from you

    Justin----Denver, or wherever, Colorado, would be a destination. We'd love to meet ya.
  • Greg Tracy · 2 years ago
    I agree with Matt- go green, but go really green and make the trip in a Prius... (or skateboard).

    If you make it to SLC let me know- be good to see you again!

    Greg
  • sellsius · 2 years ago
    hi greg!

    we'd love to go green. should we reconsider?

    salt lake city is most certainly on our route.

    looking forward to seeing you then!
  • shaun mclane · 2 years ago
    I second Erik in inviting you to Central FL. Weather's (almost) always great here. I tried calling your Grand Central number to find out about sponsoring, but the electronic phone chick hung up on me.
  • sellsius · 2 years ago
    hi shaun!

    good thing grand central has caller id :)

    nice speaking with you. we'll see you in orlando!
  • Brad Nix · 2 years ago
    What about FATlanta? THE best city in the SouthEast must be on the itinerary? Let me know if and when...I can probably round Giles up from DevelopingAtlanta.com and some other local bloggers for a beer or ten.
  • sellsius · 2 years ago
    Set it up Brad and we'll be there.
  • Boston Real Estate · 2 years ago
    Boston Baby! Make sure you give a tout when you come through!
  • sellsius · 2 years ago
    We have to do Boston to see our buds at Condo Domain. Yo, Nick, Tony--get those condoburgers ready :)
  • Christine · 2 years ago
    Geesh - I am right here in your backyard and have never met you guys. Great.. all the out of towners will meet you before I do. No, I am not jealous!
  • sellsius · 2 years ago
    hi christine!

    shame on us ;) wanna do lunch on monday? we'll come and see you in queens.
  • Forsalebylocals · 2 years ago
    We sent a note about hooking up on your houston stop....what are the dates?

    Tony
  • sellsius · 2 years ago
    hi tony!

    we have not finalized all the dates yet and are not sure we'll make it to houston. we can let you know as we get closer. thanks.
  • Lisa Dunn · 2 years ago
    Looks like I'm late to the party, again. Lisa (frzn_toes) Dunn will be there, with appletini in hand. I'll also bring the big golden spoon so T Boardman can stir the proverbial pot. :-)
  • Maureen M · 2 years ago
    COLUMBUS OHIO!!!!! Must be on any blog tour list... right Toby, Elaine, Sondra, Joe, Amy, William, Teresa, Mike, Paul, Jody, etc. etc. etc.

    Real Living which is based in Columbus Ohio is encouraging the agents to blog.... there's has to be lots of budding bloggers in Central Ohio.
  • Christine · 2 years ago
    Lunch sounds great on Monday, but I will be on Long Island.. Is that a problem?
  • sellsius · 2 years ago
    hi christine!

    no problem. drop us an email and we'll coordinate for monday. we are so looking forward to it :)
  • sellsius · 2 years ago
    hi lisa!

    st. paul is on our list as a hopeful blog tour usa stop - we really want to meet all of you. we just have to finalize mapping out the exact route. we really hope to make it to st. paul and will do our best to make it happen.

    maureen - columbus ohio here we come :)
  • Rory · 2 years ago
    How can you resist a repeat visit to your prodigal sun spot, Laguna Beach?

    We'll be waiting on the rooftop again.
  • sellsius · 2 years ago
    We'll be posting a tentative map of our route on Blog Tour USA.

    Anyone interested in attending a meet-up can register.

    Anyone able to organize an event for a particular city, let us know---
    comment or email us at sellsius(at)gmail.com
  • Maureen Francis · 2 years ago
    I have the feeling you will have many bloggers who will want to get on the bus with you for the rest of the trip. Consider a stop over in Michigan, please.
  • sellsius · 2 years ago
    We will be in Chicago so we'll just hang a right.
  • Maureen M · 2 years ago
    You better hang a right long before Chicago. Two states....
  • sellsius · 2 years ago
    We'll hang a left to Chitown after we visit Michigan.
  • Kaye Thomas · 2 years ago
    Make a quick stop in Manhattan Beach.... from here it's a straight shot north via picture perfect coastal scenery right into SF
  • Drew M from Zillow · 2 years ago
    If you can make it out to Seattle, Zillow would love to host a lunch for everyone riding the tour. Just let me know if a Seattle stop is on the agenda or not. Thanks!
  • sellsius · 2 years ago
    Kaye, we can't miss an opportunity to seeing you again.
    Thanks Drew. We hope to get up to Seattle. We'll let you know.
  • Richard · 2 years ago
    Some really nice innovations. Thank you very much for this post! Blogs like this one which string comments out in the open are much more proactive about sparking dialogue.

  • Stacey M. · 2 years ago
    I'm sure there is room for a few sets of golf clubs on that bus. Nothing draws attention in the Hilton Head area like a golf gathering. And, inevitably, most golfers end up talking about real estate. If your heading down I-95 stop on bye.
  • Diane Cohn · 2 years ago
    Dudes, you've gotta come through Reno. Let Guy and I show you a good time in the Biggest Little City in the World, K?

    Diane ;)
