Pool Jumping: The Perfect Ending to the Evo Conference
Last summer, I watched this fun video from Famous Footwear and was tempted not only to buy amazingly beautiful shoes, but also to jump in a pool in all my clothes. Now that’s the power of advertising!
A month later, I attended a cocktail party in Denver and when the general manager of the hotel showed our group the rooftop pool, I knew it was time.
Since that date, I’ve jumped in pools at Blog World Expo in Las Vegas and at Bloggy Boot Camp in Scottsdale.
And, how could the evo’10 Conference be complete without a group pool jumping after party following the Bush’s Beans western BBQ at the Park City Mountain Resort? It truly was the perfect ending to a fabulous weekend. Thanks to everyone who participated both in and out of the pool!
So glad we started this tradition. Now, hmmm, Blogher?
Thanks for a fantastic weekend!
Too much fun. It was liberating. Truly. I love this picture (who knew I could do that with my face?) Thank you for a WONDERFUL event! xoxo

So glad I jumped in this time. The whole conference was wonderfully exhilarating and this was the perfect end to it!
What is with you and jumping in pools?!?!?!?
I love it!
Did you watch the video, George? I also want to dance on a table, have a pillow fight, and blow a really big bubble with my gum.
More seriously though, it’s completely liberating, fun, brings people together, and forms the funnest of all memories. Kinda takes you back to your childhood in a way. Soooooooooooo fun! Hey! I’ll be in NYC this Aug. Hmmmmm! This activity isn’t limited to us girls, you know.
So much fun. Happy to have been part of the tradition. I love that FF commercial!
When you guys said you were going swimming after the party I should have clarified, I went home, bummed out that I couldn’t stay since I didn’t have a suit with me! Now I’m so upset I didn’t just stay on for the company! I would have been in the pool in one second flat!
Thx again for such an amazing conference! Now for that twitter lesson???
LOVE the picture.
Thanks for EVERYTHING Jyl!
Best conference ever!!!!
I LOVE this picture. I’m still remembering freezing my nipples off on the ride home. But I heart you for getting me to do it anyway. XXOO
I’m so glad I joined you guys! Best way to end the awesome conference. YAY EVO!

I read this and loved it! Good for you, ladies!! I too love a good fully clothed pool jump with my girlfriends every chance that comes – WOO HOO!!!
OMG, I just came across this and had to comment! Now THIS is my idea of fun! In fact, I dove into a lake with my clothes on last summer. It was just getting off work when my girlfriends called and invited me to hang with them by the lake. Since my son with with his father for the week, I thought “Sure, why not?” I arrived, only to my surprise to see they were all swimming. They figured since it was going to be very hot that day, they brought their bathing suits. Well, of all the days, I didn’t have my bag which had my shorts and tank top to change into, I was only wearing a red long sleaved shirt and black jeans. only that didn’t stop me, I went ahead and removed my shoes and socks, walked over to the edge of the floating boat dock and dove in the lake. It felt so good and refreshing. When I surfaced, my girlfriends were all clapping and laughing. They all hi-fived me and we all spent the next two hours swimming before heading home. Nothing like driving barefoot home in your soaking wet clothes, lol! Hey, I’d do it again!!! =)
Love it!!! Sounds like you had sooooo much fun!
You need to come to the evo Conference. Pool jumping with all of our clothes on is becoming an annual ritual. So fun!
