I Survived BlogHer ‘08…Barely
I’m alive! I survived! I made it out of San Francisco yesterday and am sitting at the kitchen table at Grandmaother’s. Zach and I are about to pack up and head home, but first we’re stopping to by see his Great Grandma Ann.
So, you’re going to have to wait a bit longer to hear about my wild and crazy time at BlogHer ‘08. Some of my mis-adventures include, but are NOT limited to:
- Setting my hair on fire
- Winning a laptop
- Being called a “dirty whore bitch” (or something of the sort) by a homeless man
- Ingesting copious amounts of alcohol
- Laughing so hard that I almost wet myself (courtesy of Moosh in Indy)
- Meeting so many amazing women (and man, or should I say “couple” because OMG, I LOVE his wife too.) that I can’t even BEGIN to figure out how I’m going to tell you about them all. All I can say is that I’m going to be doing a whole bunch of linking.
- Committing Zach to an arranged marriage. I know that’s not technically the “thing” to do here, but I just couldn’t resist.
I’ll leave you with that. And until I can sit down and start writing about it, you’re just going to have to head over to AllMediocre and try to win some free stuff. We’ve got some good shit to give away ALL WEEK LONG, so don’t miss out!

I enjoyed meeting you, even if it was brief! Next year I will totally call you a “dirty whore bitch” before I buy you a glass of wine and set your hair on fire.

The panhandlers were of a different variety in San Fran. They criticized the amount we gave them.
Glad you had fun!

Hey Meghan–
Wasn’t Macy’s fun? Was it? Was it? Didn’t they kick us out of the Furniture Dept? Why, I wonder. We weren’t being loud, like some people I could mention (if I could remember their names). Oh yeah, it was closing time and we had to buy some more pixiedust downstairs. Obviously I haven’t quite surfaced yet, so I’m off to AllMediocre to see what’s happening there.

I’m pretty sure I called you a dirty whore bitch when you showed me your laptop! I still can’t believe you won that! But I couldn’t be happier for you. Really. I call all my friends dirty whore bitch. Out of love.

It’s only appropriate that a bloggers’ convention should generate some excellent blog material. Can’t wait to read about it.
