Before I proceed with this (exciting) announcement, I’d like to first ask the fierce curlies of DC, NYC, Philly, Cali, ChiTown, and the like… not to cut me. I promise to head your way soon! PROMISE! I was planning to be in STL for my husband’s 10 year high school reunion and said, ‘what the hell?! Let’s get it!’
Sponsored by the absolutely fantabulous Shea Moisture, it’ll be very reminiscent of the ATL, and Orlando meetups, with an upscale feel, gift bags, appetizers, drinks, and lots of lots of hair chat. Oh, and of course, no entrance fee! There is no formal talk, or forced interaction, just mingling and fun!
Where: EXO Lounge 3146 Locust St. St.Louis, MO 63103
COST: FREE!
Appetizers and gift bags will be provided (first 350 curlies… get there early!). The bar will be open but that one’s on you :0)
**If you plan to come, please shoot me a quick email (nikki@curlynikki.com), so I can get a headcount. Use ‘STL Meetup’ in the subject line! You must be 21 to get in.
And for those of you (like me) that wanna shut it down, there will be an official after party, hosted by STL’s own Made Monarchs! The CN event ends at 9, and the ‘Made Right’ (’cause we’re made right, right?!) after party starts immediately thereafter…10 dollar cover… but free for the first 100 of my guests, so get there early! EXCITED!
Later Gators,
Nik
I should really talk to my home girls and drive in for this one. It's only four hours away AND it's summer time!!!!

You go to Seattle first, then you apologize to NY AND Philly and don't include NJ?!?!?! Man Nik, you really know how to cut a girl to the quick. I'm devastated. And no no no … don't try to clean it up and say NY includes NJ or Philly includes NJ … we are not a suburb of NY or NJ … we want to at least be acknowledged via a NY/NJ and Philly/NJ reference. I mean shoot, we even accept taking the backseat to NY and Philly … but to be invisible. *smh* I expected more of you Nik. I expected more.
*teeheehee*

Is there any hope that you will have one in Northern California: San Francisco Bay Area????
"California Dreaming"
Nikki, glad to hear that you're coming home to Stl for a meetup. By the way, Tammie Holland on Majic 104.9 mentioned you're site on the radio today.
Nikki, I'm too mad I can't go (I'm a 90's baby), but I know ya'll are gonna have fun. Hopefully you'll come back after December and I can kick it lol!
re: anonymous June 8, 2011 11:27 PM, I meant your site, instead of you're site

I can't wait! It seems like STL gets looked over too often. Our central location is perfect!
I really want to come from KC for this. I think I'll make my husband drive with me!
Hello!! Can Cali get some love?
Yes Nikka because I was beginning to wonder when in the world you were going to make it to the Philly area, then I thought I may have missed you! Can't wait for you to head this way!!
Lol, I really thought there would be more STL curlies commenting on this post! Seems like we will be having more out of towners? The more the merrier! 🙂
Im from st.louis and trust and believe, if im off work that day I will be there
My Curly ButterFlies will be there from Kansas City, MO!
Hi Nikki! Love reading about your meetups, can't wait until you come to KY. I know, I know Kentucky? But trust and believe we have some naturals here, along with the fastest 2 minutes in sports…the Kentucky Derby. Give it some thought you'd have blast.
I wanna come, but i have a big preggo belly…. 🙁 Jamie
I can't wait until you come to the Birmingham area or back to ATL. I can drive 2 hours. I think I had a prior engagement when you were there last.
I want to come from KC, but have no one to come with me 🙁 My natural friend in STL will be out of the state at that time.
How about the Boston/ East Coast area! That would be exciting!!!
Dallas-Ft. Worth. Cough Cough.
woo hoo can't wait for you to come to DC!
Tapping foot awaiting a NYC event. 🙂
I love how most of the comments aren't from STL people. lol Anyhow, I'll be there!!! Though, staying home to babysit Boogie is quite tempting. Quality time with my pumpkin! 😉
Cant wait to see you girl. Oh by the way, Im from st louis.
Ill be there and I'm from St. Louis!!! Go me!!
I'll be there along with some family! Also from St. Louis!
It might not be worth it to do the Pacific Northwest but I can promise at least seven curlies who will camp overnight if you're headed to Portland or Seattle.
If I recieve a bottle of argan oil, i plan to add it to my monthly Henna mix "you know make it part of my essential family" , along with jojoba oil and other cousin essentials lol, I love those oils because they allow me to lock in moisture when i seal my hair to prevent dryness 🙂
Imma need u to come to New Orleans soon!
STL curlies stand up! LOL! I'm from STL and looking forward to this! Can't wait:)
Hey Nik, is there EVER going to be an eventbl for YOUNG TEEN CURLIES? I decided to go natural at 14 , BC'ed at 15 & now i'm 16 . Hook us up too Nik! Please 🙂
I'll be there, after party and all! YEAH!
Imma be there with one of my girls and invited several other natural curlies….oh yeah, Im from DA LOU!!!
We need a good meetup in the south. I'm in Texas and I would love to attend a meetup like this!..
I wishing really really hard that you have a meet up in Cleveland. Please 🙂
