Roll Call! Geeks Gone Wild at The Kirtsy + Startup Princess + Salt Lake City Tweetup
Startup Princess ended with a bang at Caffe Niche this weekend. If I could have waved my magic wand and made an amazing meetup happen, it would have looked, sounded and tasted like this. Caffe Niche is a gorgeous cafe in Salt Lake City staffed by amazingly patient baristas and waitresses- Ghennipher, a friend I met on Twitter, called ahead and reserved it for us. Kirtsy sponsored food and cupcakes and we created little place cards for ourselves so we'd know who was who. The group was about half Startup Princesses (#princess) and half Salt Lake City Tweeps and Bloggers (#SLC).
Here's who came...fun new tweeps to follow!
Folks on Twitter:*
Folks not yet on Twitter (and yes, I believe it's only a matter of time, *smile*), bloggers extraordinaire, many of them super crafty. Like, I wish I were as crafty as these craft mavens:

Salt Lake City is fabulous and fun! We chatted and ate cupcakes late into the evening. Can't wait to return soon. In the meantime, look forward to reading your blogs and tweets. Post coming tomorrow on my wonderful experience with Startup Princess.
Lots more photos from the event here!
*If you were there and I missed you, please add your name in the comments and I'll edit the post to reflect it. Thanks to @ghennipher for snapping this shot, which completely captured my mood...

Ooh, how I wish I could have been there. Had a mind blowing, enlightening weekend with these fab princesses and godmothers. Thanks Gwen, your Rock!
So great hanging with you this weekend! I'd say thanks for being supportive and inspirational but I guess it may just be better to say, 'thanks for being you' which says that and so much more. Looking so forward to seeing you again at 'Chicks Who Click' in yo hood in January! xoxo
Lady, loved having time to chat with you this weekend. I've received a ton of compliments on the shirt...people love it! They love cheeky&swank and I get the sense you're about to be catapulted into the stratosphere of fun and sales!
The feeling is mutual...every time we get together I feel like there's not enough time to say all we need to say! Let's keep chatting and trading notes. You are a great speaker, a wonderful friend and a rock star. In every sense of the word.
Thanks for sharing the pics, I wish I had been there!
I had such a GREAT time with you ladies! I really appreciate that you made it possible for the #SLC tweetup group to meet with the #Princess ladies. We made some great personal and professional connections, and the experience of hearing about the things you learned at the SUPrincess retreat had me excited for the rest of the weekend!
I'm so glad that I came. It was a sweet meetup and so nice to meet everyone! Your fairy wings rock!
I am going to be living vicariously through all of the new tweets and blog posts about this event for quite some time! So excited to even virtually know you guys. :)
Next time I'll have to hit the conference too...a couple of hours was not enough!
I'm so envious that you got to see Barbara (I need my fix...) and so envious that she got to hang with you! Glad you all rocked it. Loving all the pics!
Looking forward to spending time with you at a conference soon, Katja!
It was wonderful meeting you, everyone was fantastic! :) I'm listed on there twice, under different names, I was @ambeestar, but my name is Ambrosia. :) Come again!!!! :)
Ambrosia is a gorgeous name. I'll correct it...thanks for letting me know! :D
