Damnit….I am bad a directions. Something about maps and stopping to ask for directions. I have a penis damnit.
.-= mepsipax´s last blog ..Fog of… =-.
By the way, I’ll be there, so see ya in the women’s bathroom.
.-= MayoPie´s last blog ..If Joe Pesci In My Cousin Vinny Went Camping =-.
awesome!!!!! the artwork is so cool!!!! about to read it! wish i was going to blogher just so i could buy you a shot of tequila.
.-= Marisa @ Where’s The Party?´s last blog ..I hate cleaning the bathroom, but these products seriously made it a bit easier. =-.
I vote for a mosh pit this year.
.-= Loralee´s last blog ..Until all the all the laundry and cleaning is caught up and this headache goes away, I’ll leave you with this… =-.
Imma be there, girlfriend. Except now I have to be there on the 5th instead of the 6th. Must you always make my life more difficult? 😉
.-= Daddy Scratches´s last blog ..And the winner is… =-.
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…
.-= JustLinda´s last blog ..If there is a god, this is how I know he is male. =-.
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
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.
.-= Daddy Scratches´s last blog ..And the winner is… =-.
I’ll be missing out on Blogher. Again. Sigh.
.-= Becky Mochaface´s last blog ..Revenge =-.
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).
that is a creepy-ass hand
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.
.-= JustLinda´s last blog ..If there is a god, this is how I know he is male. =-.
Fuck grad school. I’mma go make an ass out of myself in NYC on a Thursday night.
.-= Sarah p´s last blog ..I am Georgia O’Keefe =-.
I’m stoked!
.-= Sky´s last blog ..Secrets of the Mountain *Giveaway* =-.
OK, OK — I have registered.
Will there be anxiety pills at the door or should I bring my own??
(I’m a big baby. Ether that, or those damn girl scouts pounded The Buddy System into me so far I don’t know how to wipe my own ass without it help from a friend.)
(Wanna be my friend? I’m thinking probably not – not after what I just said, huh?)
.-= JustLinda´s last blog ..If there is a god, this is how I know he is male. =-.
Registered, and officially psyched. I’m thinking I need to pin my name and room number on my person so that if someone finds me in a dark alley drunk-singing about blogs and bloggers they’ll know what to do with me.
.-= Kerri Anne´s last blog ..Good Things: Academy Award Winning Movie Trailer =-.
I have to register. When I’m not on my iPhone. I hate typing and reading on this thing
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.
.-= Lori´s last blog ..The one with the lightbulbs. Also, a map. =-.
I’m planning my trip to NY to visit family just for the conference, and now the party. Now I’ve got the poster on my blog.
I want to know when the hell BlogHIM is.
Unless you all get into big bikini pillow fights…then I’m totally going to Blogher first.
.-= moooooog35´s last blog ..The Hulk Reads Notes to a Teacher – Episode 1 =-.
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.
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.
WOOT!
.-= Sue Robinson´s last blog ..Vegan Pancake Recipe =-.
I have followed the trail and rsvp’d. Terriblt jazzed about my first BlogHer.
I am already considering wardrobe and shoes…and whether or not my crown and boa is a bit much.
Generally, I wear them with pj’s and heels but am willing to branch out.
.-= Amy Mayfield´s last blog ..Never one to miss a party… =-.
I think it speaks to my sheep side that I followed the breadcrumbs even though I am not going to Blogher (or really know what it is (shhh I’m learning (multiple parenthesis in a parenthesis ftw!))). And here I was thinking I was a goat. Leadership fail.
.-= Ashley B´s last blog ..No More Chains =-.
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.
.-= Bridget Callahan´s last blog ..Masonic Temple: Where Good Chairs Go to Die =-.
Can’t go. Mr. V’s still in school. We haven’t won the $232 million dollar power ball. Etc. But, I’m there in spirit. Sounds like tons of fun!
.-= Gabrielle Valentine´s last blog ..Overcoming My Faults. (AKA: I’m Definitely Not Perfect). Also: To Blog or Not to Blog….That is The Question. =-.
party! it’s margarita monday after all! woot!
Wow. Sounds awesome. Don’t know if I’ll make it this year, but I’d love to.
.-= Deana Birks´s last blog ..This blog is about to get ugly. Very ugly. =-.
Woohooo…I’m registered. Fun, fun, fun!
.-= Kristin´s last blog ..Pride And Prejudice And Zombies Giveaway =-.
Goddamit! I’m going to have to buy a lottery ticket now.
Good luck with the – oh, no spoilers. Right. Just good luck then.
.-= mr farty´s last blog ..Gaining A Son =-.
Got my pass this morning. I’ll be in the ladies room, again, with Mayopie.
Blogher pass… Check
hotel booked… Check
Tickets to THIS wicked party and 2 others… Mega check
OMFG! I’m practically going! Holy shit!
My agoraphobia just needs to let me actually get there and NOT curl up in a ball once I’m there. (this might actually be the year I do something for me)
Jenny? I may need you to hold my hand ok? Oh god… Say you will?
Sigh. Neurotica rant over.
.-= Karen´s last blog ..For Maddie: The Legend of the Birch Tree =-.
Blogess, I have missed you. It has been 3 weeks since my last confession. I have been without a computer and really need to get back into it. In spirit of this I am having a give a way and I would love for you to take part…it’s a pin-up girl contest…
are you down?
Insatiablehost – Danon…
I will be in the bathroom, ready to hold hands and drinks.
the BFF and i totally RSVP’ed. cannot wait. i am so freaking excited about all of it. oh…and when the strange texas girl with f’ed up hair and stupid accent comes and tracks you down with tears in her eyes rambling about how awesome you are and that we really do not live that far from each other and she wants so badly to go drink wine with you and how she has wanted to meet you for EVAH…dont panic.
it is just me.
.-= LocoYaya´s last blog ..When Bullying Becomes Deadly =-.
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?
oh, cool … I can come without a vagina? I wasn’t equipped with one.
.-= The Queer Next Door´s last blog ..Cosmic Wormholes =-.
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!
I’m coming from motherfucking Australia, just to go to BlogHer. And this party.
.-= edenland´s last blog ..Remember that scene in Poltergeist when the mother turns her back for five seconds and the ghosts pile all those chairs on the kitchen table? =-.
Man! Now I’m really jealous I’m not going!
.-= Jane´s last blog ..Seven Kids, Three Moms and One Restaurant Health Inspector =-.
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.)
yay! I’m in
This is going to be my first BlogHer Conference. And I’ll be at your party. Sounds like there’s going to be a bit of a line for the bathroom that has nothing to do with needing to pee.
.-= Vee´s last blog ..Getting ready for BlogHer ’10 =-.
Sounds like fun!
.-= Lynn from For Love or Funny´s last blog ..My husband is immune to pouting, darn it. =-.
I’ve registered and I can’t wait. Meeting you is at the top of my wish list for blogher 🙂
.-= Gliding through motherhood´s last blog ..Sweet smiles =-.
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.
.-= muskrat´s last blog ..12 months later =-.
Damn, I’d better not be pregnant for this…RSVPd!
My head hurts…
.-= My Baby Sweetness´s last blog ..Dating and the married mom, part III =-.
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.
😉
.-= subWOW´s last blog ..Let’s be creative! That’s so… BLEEP! =-.
That made me sound like a sexual predator. Sorry babe. I meant to hug you and squeeze you and to scream in your face going, “OMG OMG OMG. Can you sign my boobs please?”
.-= subWOW´s last blog ..Let’s be creative! That’s so… BLEEP! =-.
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.
I’m new to all of this, but so excited for the party!! I’m off to follow the crumbs now…
Not going to BlogHer this year. 🙁 I’m under protest because they seem to hate the southern US as far as picking the conference site.
.-= Coal Miner’s Granddaughter´s last blog ..X-Wing Technicians Learn New Skillz =-.
New to this but can’t wait to party at BlogHER…! Woot!
.-= Everyday Mama´s last blog ..Mamas Helping Mamas **Nominate and Giveaway** =-.
This is because you’re so lost and drunk that you can’t rise *down*?
Just got word that my wait list ticket is NOW available so I am THERE! — I almost won that damn ghost camera too … but I was just outbid, which is all well and good because NOW I need the 500 bucks for the airfare!
Looking forward to the debauchery.
.-= Lindsey (aka modchik)´s last blog ..Coming Out Of The Clutter Closet =-.
I’m there!! Please don’t tell me I’ll be the only one drinking copious amounts of alcohol though!
.-= If I Could Escape´s last blog ..The words I wasn’t quite ready to hear … =-.
ohmigah! Apparently the ticket I bought in the back alley the other night includes a reservation to this super spectacular event!
