BlogHer 08: No, I’m not done yet

by Marilyn on July 23, 2008

It comes in bits and pieces.  There’s no way that anyone can come home from BlogHer and in one post, sum up the entire experience and then just drop the subject.  Not going to happen.  So, again, to those of you out there who missed the conference, I apologize.  But I’m not done yet.

What I need to do is post up links to the great business cards I got.  However, the greatest business card I got is MIA and I want to hunt it down and take a picture before I do that post.  So I’ve been putting it off.  (Of course, you must realize that it is only MIA becuase I refuse to unpack, like, ANYTHING.)

What I’m going to do today is post the paltry pictures I have from the conference, including one stolen picture (Forgive me, Cagey!).  I swear, if I do make it back next year, I VOW to take more pictures.  Then again, as I don’t plan to attend with a baby clinging to me, it’ll probably be easier to manage.  GAH.

Rhi and Carly
Here we have the fabulous Rhi and Carly.  I had breakfast with them on Day 1 and they watched Evie for me while I went and retrieved myself a bagel.


I totally stole this picture that Cagey took and fuxed with it in Photoshop.  But anyhow, this is me during my Introversion session, and WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH MY HAIR, OMG.

Loralee loves Diet Coke
In case you doubted it, Loralee does indeed love herself some diet Coke.  Dawn from Kaiser Alex likes diet Coke too, but not on the same level, obviously.

On the phone with asshats
Christine yells at defenseless bank employees and looks hawt doing it.

Gazing at Christine
See?  Loralee totally is picturing Christine naked right now.  (That’s who she’s looking at, btw)

Anjali, internet rockstar
Cagey’s little girl Anjali was absolutely ADORABLE and I even got to hold her a couple of times.  I could just eat her.  She was very tolerant of all the pictures being taken of her.

I <3 this woman
I love this woman.  Even when she’s unprepared to have her photo taken.  Maybe especially when she’s unprepared to have her photo taken.

Friends
This picture disturbs me on so many levels.  Not just that it makes Cagey look drunk, but that it makes me look like a HEIFER. Still, I love these girls and we didn’t get NEAR enough time together.

Evie meets the Michelin Man
Evie starts to nut up when posing with the Michelin Man. Typical. Kile was psyched to enter the drawing for 4 free tires.  WTF?

Pool Boys
I have to include this last one taken Saturday afternoon after we had returned to my parents’ house.  Liam is rocking swim trunks and goggles I picked up in the Swag Suite and obviously having the TIME OF HIS LIFE. I think he probably enjoyed BlogHer more than anyone else.

Wait. That third picture. They allowed attendees to quaff NON-alcoholic beverages? I think drinking was the requirement from all the other reports I’ve read!
