Not one single person.
It was just me and my husband.
I was one of those people who would talk to people at the bus stop and make conversation with people on the street. I really wanted to meet people. That's when I started blogging.
I started Frantic Foodie so I would have something to do, so I could discover Seattle, perhaps I could have conversations via my blog (and wouldn't have to scare people on the street by trying to talk to them).
Last week was my first Foodportunity event. I have been doing events for the last few years but this one was huge. More than 300 people all in one place. All foodies. All drinking, eating and networking.
The pics in this post were taken by Nate from FarSightedImages.com. He was one of the two extremely talented photographers that took pictures at the event. I will be posting more of Nate's pictures as well as pictures by the other photographer, Jackie.
Just wanted to give you a little taste, more to come.

Now I have a little giveaway. I have a $25 gift certificate for brunch at Rover's which will get you a two-course brunch or a discount on any brunch items.
Tell me what you would do with this Foodportunity? The deadline for the contest is Wednesday (July 29th).

I'm so thrilled to know you, Keren. With a Rover's gift cert, I would reward one of our fantastic farmers market volunteers!
And I got to meet Mrs. Erica Rivera Cooks! My parents are coming to visit soon and I would love to give them a taste of an iconic Seattle restaurant. Oh, and my husband can come too!
I just typed Erica Rivera... strike that from the record! Eric Rivera.
Easy: I would take someone really special there, like you. If not, another really special person and if not again, then a new food blogger that I met during the event.
Après tout, on doit bien célébrer un jour. =)
Putting that aside though, you did such a great job and you're inspiring. Everyone I talked to had a blast and speaking for myself, I'm thankful that you gave us the foodportunity to come join you! ;)

What would I do with that foodportunity? I'd finally get that push to try Rover's, a place I have heard so many wonderful things about but never tried!! Oh...the QA Farmers Market Association's answer is less greedy than mine. :-)
the winner is Eric Rivera!
thanks everyone for all the comments...
I know the contest is over. I just wanted to thank you for such a great event Keren! My husband and I had a blast, loved the food, and met tons of great people. You're so awesome! Hope you've gotten some rest once it all finished :)
Looks like a great time! When is the next event?
