This is my THIRD attempt to write this post. Yesterday Word flipped out on me and by the time I found time to write again I… ahem… I fell asleep. A second attempt was met with another Word barf! (Bite me, Norton SystemsWorks.)
Anyway, more BlogHer ’08 stuff. I just thought it was a really nice gesture from the people last year (and this year) who took the time to list who they met and I wanted to do the same. It makes you feel good about the world when you meet such great people (an antidote to watching the news every night).
Forgive me for not printing everyone’s real name. Really, I know your names. However, my readers, some of which did not get to go to BlogHer, may not but I betcha they’ll know your blogs. Plus, my fingers were getting tired typing. In no particular order…
Spinning Yellow – I spent more time with Lori (because she’s awesome!) than any other person at the conference and I can’t believe it took me a whole week to realize I left her off this list! I’m such a dork. Sorry, Lori!

and finally… Eve – (I don’t have your blog, my dear, just your twitter!)
If I missed anyone please yell at me in the comments and I will add you. I confess I was not (drunk) always (drunk) myself (drunk). I also met a whole bunch of people from very interesting companies, of which I am still visiting.
I actually have more to share from BlogHer (because of course, I have opinions!) but right now I must attend to the care of my child. Update later. I promise not to be too wordy.
Are you all BlogHer’d out yet? – the weirdgirl
Hi there! You were the first person I met at BlogHer.
Hi Katin – You’re right! And I was just looking at your business card, too. I knew there were people I missed.
Wow! That’s a lot of bloggers to meet. I totally have to go to this next time.
Hey thanks. I wanted to do this too, just haven’t have time to look through all the business cards and have a terrible memory. I remember you, and your hair š from one of the mommy blogging sessions.
I’m lost…what is BlogHer???
Riley – it’s pretty fun, though it can be overwhelming, too. I think there were a 1000 women at this year’s conference.
Nicole – Hi! I remember you (and YOUR hair), too!
Phoenix – BlogHer is a women’s blogging organization (blogher.com) that holds conferences and has an online community. The conferences started about 3 years ago. (It’s supposed to be for guys, too, but it always turns out to be an estrogen fest.)
So has anyone outed you yet for not actually being weird at all?
No worries! I was going to give you a hard time about forgetting me, but I hadn’t gotten to it. So you get gold stars for actually doing the “who I met, BlogHer recap” since I still haven’t done it.
And I had a great time hanging out with you again this year. Don’t even think you’ll bag out next year if it is on the east coast. You = BlogHer for me so start planning now!
Oh, I guess I’ll out my piddly blog š It was so much fun talking to you Friday night, and I was happy to see you looking so good on Saturday. Thanks for saying “hi” to me on your blog.
You are so not that weird. Thanks for hanging out with us in the lobby of the St. Francis. That was a very fun (if weird!) night. Ok the night was weird, but you were not…
