I didn't take many pictures at the BlogHer Conference, as I am not very good at photography and I always forget to take out my camera. I ride the coattails of my friends. However, I did get a few snaps (in random order):
Laurie of LaurieWrites and Sarah of Sarah and the Goon Squad at Thursday's reception.
Gorgeous view of the Chicago River from my filthy hotel room.
The plastic beaver cream cheese knife that Suebob of Red Stapler gave me - a beaver spreader!
With Pam Mandel, travel writer extraordinaire, of Nerd's Eye View at Thursday's reception.
Moi, Count Mockula, Maren, and Suebob graced the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile with our loveliness on Friday.
Carmen (whose blog I forgot - sorry!!!) and I tested out the bathtub of the Presidential Suite at the CheeseburgHer party on Sat. night. It passed my rigorous requirements for spectacular views, but I swear was a bit dirty.
With BlogHer co-founder Lisa Stone at the CheeseburgHer party. (If I look tired, it is because of my crazy partying at the Playboy party on Friday night. OK, OK! I confess: there was no Playboy party. We invented it to compensate for not being invited to any sponsored parties and make people jealous...)
Laurie Kingston of Not Done Yet; Virginia DeBolt, techie extraordinaire, of BlogHer; and Maren at dinner at Gino's East of Chicago on Saturday night. (Maren and I each had 1.5 slices of deep dish pizza, then foolishly each ate a cheeseburger at the following CheeseburgHer party. On a related note, may I add that my interview pants are tight today?)Even if I was functional yesterday, I could not have uploaded these jewels of fun until today, as I have no internet access in my apartment right now. Another casualty of the renovation. I really hope the damn thing is over before next year's conference in New York...
The pictures really add to the story! Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck at the interview-appear cool calm and collected. No one but you knows that you are a bit frazzeled inside.
Midwestern Tom
are laurie & i all shiny due to the large amounts of pizza we ate?
ReplyDeletegreat pictures & recap!
hope the interview went well!
(and my word verification is 'ourcat')
Hey, you're in NYC too! We talked at the CheeseburgHerz party, right? I took my pic in the bathtub, too. Sounds like your ride home was horrendous!! My trip out was bad (long delay) but yours tops it, sorry! Looking forward to next year for sure.
ReplyDeleteMar, I think you and Laurie look lovely. But I'm not good at noticing things like shine. Maybe a sign of your holiness? :)
ReplyDeleteJanice, yes, we did talk at the party! That was fun. I am psyched for next year, too. Join up with the New York Area BlogHers, though, before then. I think something is being planned.
Lo and behold, I am already on the list of New York Area BlogHers -- we'll sooo have to get the group together to bond ... I mean, to get ready to host next year! :)
ReplyDeleteIf it's any consolation, I STILL haven't really recovered from that flight.
ReplyDeleteIt was a pleasure meeting you - I took comfort in knowing there was a fellow blogger on board that plane. I'm not sure why, but I did.
Keep us posted on the interview.
Blackbird, I also enjoyed meeting you and am also still super tired from the trip. I drifted off to sleep on the PATH train both to and from the interview, although happily I was alert during it. I think it went well, and I should know more by the end of next week. Fingers crossed...
ReplyDeleteHope the interview went well!
ReplyDeleteIt was so great to meet you, Suzanne! I didn't take many pictures either; too busy having fun.
ReplyDeleteI hope to see you in NYC next year. You can definitely point out some of the more interesting tourist points. :)
