Wikifashion USA/Canada road trip + meetups

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

According to the count down in my diary, I'm leaving on my trip in 11 days! That means I need to hop to it with our Wikifashion meetups. We'll be traveling 13,000 kms across Canada and around the USA in a little under a month.

I've decided we'll be having meetups in:
  • New York (most likely on the 12th April at Spot Dessert Bar 6:00pm
  • San Francisco
  • Portland
  • Austin
Here's our travel map if you want more details ... or if you want us to organise another meetup!

I'll be writing most of the details here and also on the Wikifashion tumblr. Let me know if you'd like to come, we'll be giving out free Wikifashion bags and a few other goodies. Love to see you there ♥

Join our meetup group for all of our details + RSVP. Once I'm on the road this will be much easier for me to organize and make restaurant bookings...

    depending on the size of the meetup, if its small i think either milkbar in brooklyn (http://www.milkbarbrooklyn.com/) or podunk teahouse in the east village (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Podunk-Tearoom/151231451562805) would be lovely. if its a bit larger, maybe cafeteria in the west village or city bakery for brunch or since it will most probably be warmer weather, we could go to central park and get some munchables from the cafes inside and then sit on the rock! :)

    Hello Lola!

    That's amazing that one of the co-founders of Wikifashion has a blog!
    Wikifashion is an amazing site!
    I actually had some changes I wanted to make to my page, and I e-mailed the lady that contacted me in the beginning, I believe her name is Maddy.
    Anyway, that's pretty amazing how you're going on this trip! I live in the sf bay area and hopefully I will be able to come as well! I'll be re-visiting your page soon :)

    xx natalie

    That'll be so much fun! I love Portland, you must go to Powell's Books--it's an old used bookstore in the heart of downtown! And SF is amazing. Why no southern cities? Take care!

    We are going to southern states, I just wasn't sure which route we were going :) We're driving with two others so we need to compromise!

    I think the Vancouver meet-up could possibly to changed to a local restaurant (instead of a chain restaurant).
    Raw Canvas - situated in Yaletown, very cool atmosphere, you can pay for canvases and they supply the paint! Also a lounge & cafe

    Cascade Room - nice urban feel, exposed brick walls, reasonable food at reasonable price

    Let me know what you think!

    Thanks Rosa :) At this stage we won't be having a Vancouver meetup as we are lacking numbers/need to leave earlier on our trip. Sorry!
