The Emerge Conference combined a lot of education and inspiration with FUN! So this blog is dedicated to the fun stuff. (If you haven’t read my first Emerge Conference blog yet, look below to read about the awesome “business” side of the conference.)
After two full days of keynote speakers and break out sessions, it was time to get out of the hotel and enjoy a bit of San Antonio! The Emerge Conference ended Thursday night with three hours of Texas-themed fun. We put on our boots and cowboy hats and walked over the the historic Sunset Station where we were greeted by some old west characters who gave us a hard time.
We enjoyed some delicious cocktails served by western wenches and ate from the most amazing BBQ buffet. The steak was so tender and juicy! We watched a lasso performer and then tried our own hand at roping a calf. Seriously.
Okay…it was a metal horse with a metal calf on a rail below that shot out, but I tried to rope it just the same! After 3 tries, I was unsuccessful, but the experience was great!
After gaining some confidence on the metal horse, I decided to step it up and mount the real life longhorn bull. When am I going to have that chance again?! I’m not sure how many tranquilizers they gave the poor thing to handle all of these people sitting on him, but I now proudly display the photo on my desk.
After that, we hit up the dance floor. If you don’t know me yet, I do LOVE to dance! Michael Politano, the President of Tewell Warren and my sales rep, didn’t exactly jump at the chance to boogie with me, but he did agree to a photo.
By the time the evening was winding down and the music had stopped, we decided we couldn’t leave San Antonio without first seeing the Alamo!
Here is a photo of the Tewell Warren + Guests crew in front of the Alamo. Pictured left to right: David, Michael, me, Jenn, Doran, Linda and David.
I’ve taken my picture on a longhorn bull and in front of the Alamo…I feel like I’ve experienced Texas…okay, really it was just a tiny taste, but I’ll take that over another regular week in the office any day!
A special thanks goes out to Michael Politano and the rest of the Tewell Warren and Consolidated Graphics team for inviting me to such an amazing conference!
