The Obligatory BlogHer Post

July 3rd, 2009 Posted in Self, blogging

So, BlogHer ‘09 is three weeks away. I’m excited. Super excited. Waayyy too excited.

Last year was so much fun, and there’s something amazing about actually being able to hug and poke and prod these people that you call your friends but you’ve never met in real life before.

There are so many people that I’m excited to meet that didn’t come last year. I won’t name them, because I’ll forget someone. There are so many people that I met last year that I can’t wait to see again.

If it’s your first time, don’t be nervous. Nothing to be nervous about. You’ll have a blast. Unless you allow someone else to make that not happen. So don’t.

This is what I look like, in case you don’t know. Just so you’ll recognize me when you see me:

Borrreeddddddd.

If you’re not going, and you’d like me to carry you around on a stick like I did for some folks last year (many of whom will be here this year!) send an email with your photo attached to maria @ immoralmatriarch.com.

So, you going? You as excited as I am? Any worries or concerns?

  4. flutter says:

    you are so cute, now I wish I was going!

  5. Amo says:

    CANNOT WAIT!

    No one is gonna ’stick their dick in my mashed potatoes’!

    (10pts for the song title…)

  6. I can’t wait to hug and prod and poke you, Maria!!

    I’m a little anxious, but not nervous. I thrive on interaction, so this is right up my alley!

  7. I admit I’m a little nervous. Questions? One thing I have been wondering is if I should bring my Nikon D70 or just my CoolPix. Will lugging the D70 be more of a hassle than its worth?

    I can’t wait to see you there! Virtual ((Hug)) for now.

    Linda~

    Not going.
    I will have to stalk you some other way.
    :(

  9. Crystal says:

    you are too happy and too excited!

  10. Kristin says:

    I’m not going to this blog convention but, I am excited to see you.

  11. LovingDanger says:

    Booo not going… this whole being 8 months pregnant during blogher thing is really putting a cramp in my style yo.

  12. traci says:

    Nervous? Kinda, but I am relying on my roomie and the folks I know to keep me balanced after one to many.

    I know someofus, *pointing my finger at you* don’t get drunk.

    This gal isn’t one of ‘em.

  13. ali says:

    …and then there are those people who WERE there last year, but you didn’t get to meet. like me ;)

  14. I would totally let you carry me on a stick (does that sound dirty? I think that sounds dirty.). I am, however, the least photogenic person in the world. I don’t even look like me in pictures. I don’t know what it is. I wish I was going though! I think it’d be a good time.

  15. Angella says:

    I cannot WAIT to see you again, hotness.

    xoxo

  16. Lynette says:

    LMAO. Well, I wish I WAS going, but I have too much going on unfortunately..So maybe I’ll just send you my picture…now to decide if I need to send a profile so you’ll always have my best side in your pictures @ Blogher

  17. JCK says:

    I’m sad not to be going this year. I hope you have a great time!

  18. Margie says:

    I don’t know which I would prefer… being poked and prodded by you or carried around on a stick…hmmm- LOL- Have a great time- wish I could go- but might not make too much sense for me to go since I haven’t posted since Halloween!

  19. usedtobeme says:

    I wish I was going. I should have went when it was closer to me but I missed that boat. Just tell people I’m the next best thing to television for me. Okay? Thanks!

  20. Marinka says:

    I’m super excited. Can’t wait to meet you, can’t wait to meet everyone!

  21. tracey says:

    I’m excited, too! Though I realized that my lack of proper shoes is becoming obvious right now. I have, um, sandals? I’m usually barefoot! I’m thinking that that doesn’t fly in Chicago hotels…

  22. Tiffany says:

    OMG you look just like the girls in that last pic. Or should I say, the girls look just like YOU!

  23. Now I really wish I would’ve just forked over the damned money for the conference part. I will have to live with eeking out some of your hours for dinner or drinks or something.

  24. Chantel says:

    I’m knew to this whole blogging universe and learned about Blog Her and the conference way too late. Maybe next year. Have a great time!! :)

  25. Miss Britt says:

    I’m afraid that no one will know who I am – because most of my friends are not “into” the BlogHer thing. And I’m afraid that the ones who do know me won’t talk to me because they’ll be too busy chatting with everyone else.

    Yes. I’m a dork.

  26. Jennifer A says:

    I’m excited and nervous about going. I really don’t know anyone in real life and its nerveracking to walk into a room with 1199 other people.

  27. I can’t wait to meet you! :)

  28. BusyDad says:

    Excited to see you again! But I kinda want to be on a stick. And carried around in your back pocket. Because that’s just awesome.

  29. I have this vision of our eyes meeting across a crowded room just as the DJ spins Chromeo. And nodding ever-so-slightly like we’re the only jedi masters in the room.

  30. I am so going to hump your leg.

    And! I shit you not, I have a post titled the EXACT same thing sitting in my drafts at the moment.

    It’s kismet I know it.

  31. Jill says:

    Not going and I’m too lazy to send you a picture to put on a stick.

    I will, however, ask you this favor. Push for an east coast BlogHer in 2010. Preferably NYC or Philly. I want to go and that’s the only way it’s going to happen for me. And as you know, it’s all about me.
