I’m excited to share that HWTM is teaming up with Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur to host a series of events for readers! For this "Hip Hostess Series", we’ll be traveling to 7 cities across the US over the next 12 months putting on (free) entertaining workshops/parties where you can pick up tips and ideas for seasonal & holiday entertaining…and indulge in some yummy food and cocktails of course!
The first event is next Thursday, May 22nd in San Diego, and we’ll be covering ideas for throwing "Tropical Zen" summer parties – kind of a fusion of Hawaiian and Asian styles with a contemporary twist. If you’re interested in attending, you can click here to rsvp for the event online (space is limited, so please rsvp soon!). The party stars at 6 o’clock pm and will be held at The Hospitality Room in Balboa Park (near downtown San Diego). Click here for directions.
*The next party is scheduled for June 25th in Chicago and will be held at The Ivy Room. Click here to sign up for that event!
Looking forward to meeting some of you in person finally!
Cheers,
Jenn

I agree… Phoenix would LOVE to have you!!!
Thanks Tia and Cheryl Anne! That’s so nice of you! Pheonix sounds like a very friendly place so far :)
can I vote for Portland?? (the Oregon one that is) I am so jealous of those other locations. :-) Keep us posted on the schedule!
I am so excited to hear that you are coming to Dallas! I can’t wait! I have some very funky wine accessories that I would love to donate to the event if it fits the theme! Love you site!
Can’t wait until October!
Phoenix would be a great stop … make it in the fall though! Rather toasty during the summer!! :)
would luv to see ya!!!
Jenn-how about a trip to Raleigh??? Maybe I can make it to Miami next April, though…Hmmm, maybe a Miami girls trip would be a fun idea!!!
When you come to Boston let us know! We’d love to help out another Simply Stated blogger.
Thanks, Erin! I would love to meet you guys!
Brandy – thanks so much for the generous offer. Keep you posted on the theme…I have a pretty good feeling it will be Halloween-related!
Kim – a girls trip sounds great! I don’t think I can wait until next April…let’s start rounding up the crew and try to plan a trip this summer if everyone can swing it! Of course I’d be more than happy to ALSO see you in Miami ;)
This does look like fun! Boston in early December – just in time for the holiday season… I’ll be looking out for details and raving reviews of your Chicago, New York and Dallas events!
Bummer, I went to register and it says capacity full. I hope you do another soon.
Wishes much success.
Awesome! Are you guys going to be in the San Francisco area too? Thanks.
This sounds so cool! Any chance for a Toronto, Canada date? Count me in!!
Hi Jenn!
