This week of course is the Travel Blog Exchange (which has been compared to Woodstock, the Academy Awards, the Super Bowl and Christmas by various bloggers).
Now while all of us are very excited to hang out all weekend long with some amazing travel people, a few of us are a little impatient (and in some cases might have a serious drinking problem), as there will be a night of drinking debauchery on the eve of TBEX this Thursday night at the Ace Hotel.
It has been dubbed “PREBEX” on Twitter and will include many of the same people you will get to know and love during TBEX weekend.
The forecast is calling for a hot, sticky and warm night in the Big Apple (which means a lot of sweaty bloggers suffering from bad hair days together in one location clicking on their smart phones and sharing travel ware stories). Yay!
If you are planning to attend and enjoy a few wobbly pops on a steamy NYC summer evening, then show up after 7pm and cool off with the likes of TBEX‘s founder Kim Mance, andrewghayes, Traveling Anna, Sosauce, 20sTravel, Scene by Laurie, Authentic Coast, Art of Backpacking, Nomadic Matt, Legal Nomads, RTW Dave, Vagabondish, Stay Adventurous, chris2x, nctaylor, Shannon RTW and many, many more.
The Ace Hotel is located at 20 West 29th street, between 5th and 6th Avenue. We will be hanging out in the Lobby Bar (pictured above). Follow The Ace Hotel on Twitter and of course check-in with foursquare and tweet using the hash tag #PREBEX while in attendance.
This event is not private, so if you’re free Thursday night, stop by and hang out. Chat with old friends, meet new friends and raise a few pints with fellow travel nerds before the big weekend kicks off! Please drink responsibly…because I’m not planning to and will need someone to help me home. Cheers.
