BlogHer DC
Well, I’m off to the Blogher Outreach tour tomorrow. And I know absolutely no one who is going. And by “know absolutely no one” I don’t mean that I just have yet to actually meet them face-to-face. I mean that to my knowledge there is not a single blogger I have read or who reads my blog who will be there. Not one.
When I registered for the conference I believed there were many possible acquaintances who would be there, both fellow Philly mom bloggers and a few others. But alas. It’s only me. And now I feel like a big schmo. Seriously, I’m getting up at 5:00am to drive three hours to a social event where I don’t know anybody. Schmo. Big one.
I’m close, very close to throwing in the towel. In fact if my husband wasn’t so adamant about me going I probably wouldn’t. I think he’s just afraid that if I don’t go I’ll complain for months. And he’s probably right about that. Plus the kids were driving me crazy tonight and at one point I just thought that I really didn’t care where I was going, but I had to get out of here as soon as possible. Suddenly the lonely three hour drive doesn’t sound so bad.
If you find me blogging a lot of it tomorrow you can trust it probably means no one is talking to me and I need to busy myself by blogging. Which really isn’t so bad. Even though I was technically alone at the Martha Show I certainly didn’t feel that way because of everyone checking in and commenting as it went along. I hope I have some company tomorrow:) I will try to be my most presentable, most sociable self, but that’s not saying much. See you on the other side.

















Oh please go! You’ll have a blast and probably meet a lot of awesome bloggers. Wish I could join you. I”ll be checking as you live blog!
Oh dear… I would so feel the same way. That said, I encourage you to go. Have fun! At minimum, you’ll get some time away…
Ohhhhh, I wish I could go with you
Just think of all the fun freebies you will probably be getting! There have to be other people that will be there alone. And if it gets too bad, you can always take yourself out for a nice lunch and still have a day just for Mommy!
Go! I wish I were going. I wanted to go, but my husband’s travel conflicted so no Blogher08 OutReach for me. Please go and tell us all about it.
It’s going to be fun! I’ve gone to the big BlogHer 3x now and everyone is VERY friendly. Enjoy!
Oh Beth. I wish I was there. The fortunate part is also that I am not there. I would need at least a dozen boxes of tissues and believe me…you would have left me at the side of the road after listening to an hour of my coughing!
Good luck! Can’t wait to hear how it all went!
Like no one would talk to *you*! You’ll do great, which I am believing because I just looked and you only had one live post. You must have been busy!
