Oh hey, what's up?

I Survived Blogher

Blogher was definitely a weekend to remember!

I arrived Friday night and my first impression was that it was crowded, claustrophobic, and chaotic, and I was disappointed that I couldn’t quite catch-up with anybody I had planned to meet – unless of course they were ignoring me in which case it’s totally their loss.

I went into Saturday with a bad attitude that just got worse when there were no swag bags available at check-in – which is absolutely ridiculous because there are a finite number of people that registered. And before I get accused of being a dirty swag hag, I didn’t even get an agenda so I wandered around like a hobo all day – so go play with your free Mister Potato Head and just shut your whore mouth.

I’m joking people – don’t get your free Hanes panties in a bunch.

But the day quickly redeemed itself with great speakers (well – in the one session that I actually attended and excluding the toe picker), a slight loss in inhibitions which lead to meeting some of my favorite bloggers (I don’t want to name drop but I hugged/shook hands with/cat called/stared at from afar  Miss Britt, Avitable, The Bloggess, and Redneck Mommy and Pioneer Woman in that order), being chauffeured around downtown Chicago in a brand new Camero and the Weinermobile, parties, and fried macaroni and cheese.

Seriously, is there anything better than fried macaroni and cheese? I think Paula Deen would agree that it would make the perfect last meal.

I also hung out with more than a handful of regional bloggers – holy shit who knew there was so much blogging talent in Northwest Indiana – who should start gearing up for #elsalto NOW and met my name twin!

For a split second (okay – 14 hours) I thought I’d wasted $200 registering for Blogher 2010, but now I’m counting down the days! See you bitches in NYC!

    Heather – It was good, bad, and ugly and we laughed and whooped it up the entire time. I highly recommend causing trouble with us next year. :-)

    Sounds like you had a good time. I wish I could have gone, but it was just out of the budget… I’m still trying to figure out how to make Florida work in October. It’s not looking promising at the moment :(

    Jenn – I hope you get to go to Florida, but if not I have someone else that entered the contest that would really like to go if you’d be kind enough to pass on your ticket!

  • Sadie


    That sounds like so much fun!

  • So Not Mom-a-licious


    “Shut your whore mouth”….that was excellent! You’re not a greedy swag hag, like you said if X amount of people register then X amount of people get bags. So was there no one passing them out? It was just a free for all?
    Hey, you ended up having fun. And maybe comvinced me to go next year!

  • Tia

    I looked through my business cards – did you not give me one?

    Avitable – That’s a very real possibility. I didn’t get the hang of spreading my seed until the last day.

  • Christina


    It is always fun to put faces and names together!
