I’m going (hopefully): BlogHer ’09

Oh, how I long to attend BlogHer next year!

Why? Here’s why:

1. From everything I’ve read, BlogHer really is the best of both worlds: It’s fun and social (lotta parties) and offers up a great deal of tangible info about blog writing, marketing, upkeep and – more importantly – identity. That’s not only good for me and FlackRabbit here, it’s also great for my clients. I really do want to be knowledgeable about the blogosphere, not simply be obsessed with it.

2. I heart blogs.

3. I have ovaries.

4. I am still not completely over the fact that the Nashville BlogHer stop was canceled this year. I was so looking forward to dipping my toe in the local lady-blogger pool.

5. I’m obsessed with Dooce and would love nothing more than to keep watch in the hotel lobby in hopes of catching a glimpse of Heather walking by so I could Twitter my elation along with a picture of her from a distance and giggle uncontrollably for the next three hours.

Here’s a little more info from their announcement post:

Yes, BlogHer ’09 will be at the The Chicago Sheraton and Towers from July 23-25, 2009. We will kick off on Thursday July 23rd with our 3rd annual BlogHer Business Conference, and will continue with the two-day 5th annual BlogHer Annual Conference on Friday and Saturday, July 24-25.

Are you going to BlogHer ’09?

I’ve gone to BlogHer ’07 and ’08 and LOVED it. Though I liked ’08 significantly more because I knew people, as opposed to ’07 where I knew no one and was really lonely. I was also 21 and significantly younger than everyone there. ’08 had a bit more twentysomethings so it was easier to fit in.

But totally worth it. It’s great.

I want to go! I, too am obsessed with Dooce.com, and [if I go, and if we do spot Heather] I will be sitting next to you Twit Pic’ing, giggling and all.

[...] Time? I mean I dig all of those blogs and was delighted to see Dooce make that list because, as we’ve discussed, she rocks my face off but come on. Are you serious that these 25 blogs that have ALWAYS been the [...]
