Orlando, FL
Arriving early afternoon on October 2nd, 2009; leaving late on October 4th.
The Plan: It’s my dad’s 60th birthday. My family lives about 40 minutes north of Daytona Beach. So I’m going to be driving out pretty quickly. Sorry, Orlando!

Los Angeles, CA
Arriving late afternoon on September 28th, 2009; leaving late on September 30th.

Where I’m staying: Nowhere! I need a couch to crash! Please help me.
Meetup Action: None so far. But there will be meetups. Oh yes, there will be meetups. Drop me a line and we can plan something!

Seattle, WA
Arriving 3pm on September 26th, 2009; leaving early on September 28th.
The Plan: Coffee, Sky Needle, fish throwing at the market… I hear there’s so much going on there that I’ll just take it easy.

Where I’m staying: Currently negotiating to crash with a friend.

Chicago, IL
Arriving mid-afternoon on September 22nd, 2009; leaving at noon on September 24th.
The Plan: I really can’t wait to visit Chicago. I hear that I’ll love it. I am definitely going up to the top of the Whatever-They’re-Calling-It Tower (apparently Sears hasn’t paid the rent in a while), and I’m definitely taking a picture at that shiny egg sculpture thing, and I’m definitely getting fat there. The Cubs aren’t playing in town those particular days, but the White Sox are…
Who I know: A few personal friends, and Ty Ty.
Where I’m staying: Currently negotiating to crash with a friend.
Meetup Action: Probably 9/23 is the best date if you’d like to hang out. Taking any/all suggestions.

San Francisco, CA
Arriving mid-afternoon on September 18th, 2009; leaving late on September 20th.
The Plan: Well, San Francisco is the one city I haven’t visited that I’d like to see the most, so I am completely bursting with excitement to visit. And yet I will still need a ton of suggestions for local engagement. Yes, I will visit the Golden Gate Bridge. I will ride a trolley. I’ll make a trip to Lombard Street. Beyond that, I need an education on this city!
Who I know: caro, thatgirlallison (visiting for the weekend) and dogsareadorable (also visiting).
Where I’m staying: Crashing with Jackson West (not on Tumblr, I don’t think - but a well known person regardless), who is centrally located, I hear.
Meetup Action: I would love to see you guys on Friday or Saturday night. Let’s rock out!

Austin, TX
Arriving mid-afternoon on September 16th, 2009; leaving early on September 18th.
The Plan: Rent a bike. Check out the local music scene. Drink cheap beer. Eat big fat chunks of BBQ. Hang out with my Tumblr friends. Try not to say “water” because that’s how they immediately figured out in Boston that I was originally from New Jersey.
Who I know: A couple o’ Tumblrs. (more below)
Where I’m staying: With Seagull! I am going to do some couch crashing in what I am told is a messy boys’ house. I’ll try to leave it in as good or better shape than when I arrived!
Meetup Action: Wednesday Night Tumblr Meetup, Thursday Night Social Bike Ride
FYI — Jennifer Milano did NOT create the 599Club, as she told CNN for this article. Apparently she likes to take credit for other people’s ideas. Brian Van created it. Just setting the record straight.
