It’s Blogtastic!
Posted By Kristabella on July 18, 2008
I figured I should type something up, full of my snarky wit, because I just handed out all these business cards and then people will come here and be all “the main post on her site is an anonymous post from someone we don’t know? She’s not full of snark, she’s FULL OF LAME.”
(Hi new people I’ve met!)
I had plans to put something up before I left, but I decided that it was a good idea to stay out drinking until 11 PM the night before a 7:30 AM flight. That’s always a good idea. Because nothing says fun like four hours of sleep!
I made it to San Francisco safe and sound. I found one of my roommates at the baggage claim area at the airport. We all made it safely to the hotel and walked around and did some shopping and some eating.
Last night there were a few parties and I got to meet a lot of people. I got a lot of business cards and handed mine out. It is a tad overwhelming with all these people in the same place and where do you start? It was nice to do the “speed dating” thing this morning and meet some other new people, people that I probably would not have met otherwise.
At night, when I’ve got a belly full of alcohol goodness and have the liquid courage it brings, I’ll go up and talk to just about anyone. Like stopping Mr. Lady from Whiskey in My Sippy Cup because she’s funny and she reads The Hotfessional and she seemed like such a fun person. And she is! And she wasn’t drinking whiskey nor was she drinking out a sippy cup!
I am really glad I came. I had a few too many freakouts and it can be fucking overwhelming to walk into a ballroom full of ONE THOUSAND women, but then everyone feels the same way. Whether you’re at your first blogging conference or not, an introvert or an extrovert, that is a lot of damn people in the SAME PLACE.
More updates to come. And hopefully a drunken story of me falling on my face or spilling wine on someone.
And also, Bacon made his first appearance this morning at breakfast. He was a little overwhelmed too. He thought someone might try to eat him.

Bacon probably should quake in fear. Poor little guy.
Jen on the Edge’s last blog post..I’m so imperfect (duh)
I can’t wait to hear Bacon’s take on BlogHer!

HouseofJules’s last blog post..Whether it’s “snack” or “sack” is debatable; what’s certain is that it’s extraordinary
Sounds like you are having fun! Tell Bacon that I read something about “Bacon floss”. If he doesn’t behave, he might find himself being reallocated to a “new position” of flossiness.
Lys’s last blog post..It’s [Nordstrom’s] Anniversary…
Sounds like you’re having a great time! I’m so glad you went too!
Oh, and I’m pregnant, by the way.
moo’s last blog post..just call me angel white trash in the morning, baby
Breakfast is a dangerous place for Bacon to be! But he can just entertain everyone with his snarkiness and then they won’t eat him.
barbra’s last blog post..DONE!
I’m almost as excited to have met Bacon as I was to meet you!
Kristie’s last blog post..A little over 24 hours in…
Sounds like fun! And I’m sure Bacon is enjoying himself too, despite the perils. Bring on the drunken stories!!
Cara’s last blog post..Ah That Sweet Baby Sound
i hear ya… it’s def intimidating to be in a room full of strangers but it’s been good for me to push myself out of my normal safe zone. thought i’d stop by for some of the snarkiness (as predicted).. i was the person who briefly chatted you up about passiveagressivenotes.com – at any rate, we’ll prob bump into each other again this weekend.. hope you have a blast! 🙂
A room full of 1000 women is maybe my worst nightmare.
I’m glad you’re having fun, though! I bet you’re a good roommate. I can’t wait to hear about the wine.
Scarlet’s last blog post..The Radio’s Hot Sun
Sounds like you are having a great time!
Tell Bacon to just chill out and have some fun, too!
Liz J in Central Illinois’s last blog post..Another Setback
Oooh, I’m getting more jealous with each BlogHer post I read. 😉 Did you lick Mr. Lady for me???
Ree’s last blog post..Haiku Friday – Shopping Plans
Tell Bacon to stay away from Maple Syrup, if he doesn’t want to get eaten… she tends to be very clingy, and might draw unwanted attention his way.
And very jealous that you’re there without me. Will you be home in time for our “I Love Money” fun-times?
The Muse’s last blog post..Whip it Up II – Lemon Curd
HAH!
Bring back lots of pictures and also, coffee date. Must.
Marianne’s last blog post..The Suck
You’re so brave. I’m not sure I’d have the balls to go to BlogHer.
Hope you’ve been out drinking and coming up with some new “material” if you know what I mean!!
Laurel’s last blog post..The First Goodbye
Sounds wonderful! Overwhelming, but wonderful!
I’m so going to try to be there next year, and at least make DC in October.
Photos?
Yay,,, I got to meet you. And seriously? You should have freaked out with me…. Friday morning in the bathroom… it was awesome.
Glad to hear you are having fun!!!!
Tell bacon I said hello!!!!
Sheri’s last blog post..Whip It Up Polynesian Chicken
