We’ve made it through one day at BlogHer (what’s this we?? Am I royal all the sudden?? Nope, just me.).? I’m still digesting everything.? It’s a lot to take in.? I’m sure you’ve seen people say this already, and often more eloquently than I am doing now.? But the reality is?? This is some freaky shit right here.
For one thing: this is a LOT of women.? Moreso today than yesterday (though I do see a healthy helping of men too). It’s loud, a lot of the time.? Most of the time.? There’s just no real good way to describe this to people who aren’t here.? It’s overwhelming.? Everywhere you look, there are bloggers.? And chances are, there are a lot of blogs you’ve read and enjoyed.? Every table boasts at least one laptop, with a blogger tapping away at the keyboard.? And I know this isn’t giving you the proper picture of what’s going on here.? But trust me when I say: everything you’ve heard is true.
I’ve finally reached the point where I can feel glad that I came.? I’ve only just recently had the time (and energy) to digest some of what’s gone on.? Hanging out with Miss Zoot is probably my highlight so far, though meeting Brit and getting to know her as a new friend is a close second.? It’s just so COOL.
I haven’t meet Heather from Dooce or Melissa from Suburban Bliss or Alice from Finslippy or anyone like that.? But I’ve seen them (and struggled not to gawk).? And that’s a little weird. Heather is taller than you’d expect (especially when wearing heels).? But that’s about all I can comment on that.? I don’t think I’ll be meeting anyone from the “A-group” because they’re the A-group.? And I barely rank.? Maybe someday I will rank.? Maybe at a future BlogHer conference I’ll be a speaker who gets interviewed and have people who get really excited about meeting me.? That’d be… strange.? The anonymity is actually kinda nice.
Anyhow.? I’m just babbling now…? Maybe it’s lack of sleep (though I got a decent chunk last night for which I’m eternally grateful) or maybe I’m still digesting this whole experience.? Hopefully I’ll be able to write something more meaningful about this experience later on.? And maybe I’ll have more pictures.? I HAVE to take more pictures today.? Please kick my ass if I don’t take more pictures.? That’s just not excusable.
OKAY, I’m gonna go now, maybe hunt down some more caffeine.? BlogHer RULES.
