Well, it's that time of year that thousands of the country's most talented, snarkiest, writer gals descend upon my city...and I'm not there! Wah. I have impeccable timing.
Yes, the majority of you reading probably know exactly what I'm talking about, as you were likely directed here through a friend of a friend of a BlogHer member, but in case you don't, then well, I just told you really: BlogHer 2008 is taking place in San Francisco (which basically translates to a lot of ladies who have befriended one another over the Internets convening in one place for a long weekend of boozing and harmless debauchery).
Now, truthfully, I knew of the conflict in schedules before I took this assignment to Canada but at the time a) I was quite fearful to be in the presence of such well-known, witty, respected bloggers and b) well, would you pass up a free trip to Vancouver, Banff and Lake Louise? Thought not.
But that still doesn't make up for the fact that I won't be meeting face-to-face with Ali, Heather B., Jennie, SLynnRo, et al. On second thought, maybe that's a good thing, as they'd likely find me far less amusing than my blog =)
Still...some of my favorite BlogHerers are San Francisco residents, and thanks to a Moosaganza in honor of homegirl Moose turning the big 3-0 last Friday and a beach bonfire in honor of Holly's Sean and Alison's Nathan turning another 365 days older (each, not collectively), I did get to participate in a mini-BlogHer of sorts last weekend (minus long panel sessions made painful by recurring hangovers). I also finally got to meet the elusive Simon and Leah (pictured with me and Moose below).
So have fun all you fabulous BlogHer attendees and toast one for me! I'll be there next year come Hell or high water, you have my word!

we wil raise a glass for you indeed! Can't wait to meet you next year...or maybe sooner I live an hour away from San Francisco!
Moosaganza = AWESOME. We'll catch BlogHer next year. :)
Haha, I just couldn't help but laugh at your beach pictures. Don't you love having to wear thick sweaters at the beaches up here? Man oh man.
Even though you can't go to BlogHer, I hope you're having fun anyway!
As I keep telling everyone, I'm not going to BlogHer. How can it be a party without mmeeeeeeeeeeeeee????
Truthfully, I just looked at the price tag and flinched. Apparently I'm the last starving writer out there.
i am soooooooooooooo sad you aren't here...
boo.
Can't wait to hear about Vancouver...
@may vanderbilt, I am a really starving PR girl if that makes you feel better. The reachout tours are a bit cheaper though...maybe I can garner up the money by the time it gets to Boston in October.
BOO!
Every few minutes I would say to Moose or Leah or HB "I wish Kristin was here". Oh and Leah did say that she wished I lived in SF so I suppose Project Get HB to SF has commenced.
