Damn, I clicked the link and BLOCKED – thwarted by the company firewall.

I expect HR will show up any minute. It was nice knowing you all. I’ll be living in a cardboard box with no internet as soon as I’m fired.

Oh, and I WAS going to go to BlogHer. I’m a little nervous – was hoping you’d let me hide under your skirt, clinging to your leg like an anxious toddler. But we’ll see. Might have to eBay my ticket if this HR thing pans out the way I’m anticipating…

I can’t imagine a company that would block Izzymom and not me. Insane. But just in case you can’t get through, this is the final stop: http://www.velveteenmind.com/velveteenmind/2010/04/peoples-party.html

9 Daddy Scratches April 12, 2010 at 11:44 am

Hey, wait, I just checked my hotel reservation, and I was already planning to be there on the 5th. The stars are aligning. Next thing you know, I’ll have my own set of Party Rats to wear to the shindig.

I have a boner, which is odd, because I have a vagina.

Don’t worry, I’ll get it checked out before the People’s Party (or maybe not).

12 marisa April 12, 2010 at 11:53 am

that is a creepy-ass hand

13 JustLinda April 12, 2010 at 12:01 pm

OK, that worked.

And if they block you? PERISH THE THOUGHT!

BlogHer ticket number, huh? Where did I leave that? (Pats all pockets.) Must be in my other suit.

Will there be anxiety pills at the door or should I bring my own??

Could someone tell me definitely how, when I have reason to say this word out loud, which does happen, sometimes, honest… if one says “blog-Her” or blog-ger”.

Please, before my OCD renders me institutionalized.

It’s pronounced “Blog HER”, Lori.

Also? Men are more than welcome at Blogher. You don’t have to have a vagina to come. But you do have to wear a bikini at the pillow fight. Those are the rules.

23 Mae April 12, 2010 at 2:18 pm

I am RSVP’d and I am stoked. I had planned on hiding under my roommates’ skirts to get into parties cuz they’re all big-ish time and I am so very teensy time. But NOW I can just get drunk enough Thursday night that I don’t NEED any other parties.

27 Bridget Callahan April 12, 2010 at 4:28 pm

There is no chance of me being in New York then, unless I win the lottery.
However, on the very last goal page, the last thing I read in the comments was some girl talking about how she would be there even though she is the worst blogger in the world, and I think you all should target her and hold some intervention that involves helium balloons, whipper cream, and a boston terrier. So I was just giving you a heads up.

Okay… Consider me the new girl in school. Will someone be my friend and tell me if a newbie to the blogging world would benefit from going to BlogHer in her first year of blogging? Or do I need to wait until I’m developing blogger breasts and coming into my own?

So I am stuck in Iowa, and am just figuring out Blog Her and getting posted there, and then I see this awesome MoFo shit and I am totally the last soccer mom out of the parking lot, AGAIN, because my well documented sextuplets and twins didn’t get into the Suburban fast enough, AGAIN, and there is jelly donut on my track suit, AGAIN, and I’m sacrificing squirrels to the Blog Her goddesses, AGAIN, because I am on the waiting list for Blog Her. *Sniff* (She kicks at imaginary dirt on ground.)

I want to hide in the bathroom! I want to break bottles of Boones Farm! I want to pick up random babies! I want MY Blog Her cherry popped, damn it!

BlogHer is awesome and I highly recommend it. It’s good for anyone even thinking about blogging. It’s sold out at the moment but you can still get a cocktail pass or go on the waitlist. That said? It’s not the end of the world if you miss it. It’s so big you don’t even meet a 10th of the people who are there. It’s fung but if you can’t get in, hold out for Mom 2.0 next year in New Orleans. (And men are welcome there as well.)

44 Amy April 12, 2010 at 10:00 pm

yay! I’m in

45 Vee April 13, 2010 at 4:40 am

Hello, I’m back. Just wanted to say yes, you can go if you stand to pee, and yes, you can decide to go 4 days before it starts and find passes and lodging via twitter friends. And, yes, you can find a way into the booked parties. Totally did all of this last year in Chicago. Don’t be a hater or a quitter.

51 subWOW April 13, 2010 at 1:19 pm

I am utterly crushed.:-( I am really crying now. The ONLY reason that I registered for BlogHer LAST YEAR (before I started getting to know my bloggy friends) was because I really really wanted to attend the People’s Party after I read about what happened last year in Chicago. And yes Loser-me here lives in Chicago but didn’t make it. No matter. I can go to NYC just so I can party with you. Then stupido here booked a flight that comes in on Friday morning. Sigh. Well, I hope you are still sober enough after the People’s Party. Actually, for what I want to do to you, you don’t need to be sober.

I may just have to start a blog so that I can go to this and stalk you. I have seriously considered writing a blog but I think no one will read it except for my boyfriend’s parents who are very supportive (my parents are supportive but are very busy). And I REALLY don’t think they should know what is on my head.
