Blog Her 2010, I’m SO There!

I did it. I bought my ticket for the Blog Her conference in NYC next summer and I am already excited. For years, I've been watching the pictures roll in, reading the posts about it, and wishing so badly I could be there. Next year it finally happens. This girl is afraid of flying so I had to wait until it came to the East Coast. New York City, here I come!

I'm a little nervous that after four years of conferences, people already have their "groups" to hang with and that I'll be hanging out solo, so I'd like to ask a couple questions. Who else is planning on going?  Can I convince some awesome readers/bloggers to go? Anyone want to split the cost of a limo to drive us there? Think I should volunteer to teach a "Self Defense Class for Bloggers"? Should I wear my gi so I'm recognizable?

(I'm totally kidding about that last question.)

    2. Even though I’ve been invited by several of this years attendees, I wouldn’t be able to work the logistics. That being said, I know a bunch of rowdy respectable ladies who will be there, and who would welcome you with open arms.
    (and yeah, I’d wear the gi, at least to one of the gatherings!)

    3. I’ll be there. This year was a blast – I was really worried about not knowing enough people, but it turned out not to matter. Can’t wait to see you!

    6. So THAT’S why you wanted me to call you back! 😉 Okay, if I’m not on vacation, I’ll do it. It sounds scary, and I totally can’t afford it, but I’ll go. I love NYC!

    8. Just pull a La Bell and dye your gi some sort of neon color! However, if you are going dressed like a pro wrestler you need intro. music and a manager. I’ve always fancied myself as a the manager of a “heel” so I’m willing to offer my services.

    10. Let’s see…a pair of black belts stalking down the streets of New York sounds like JUST the ticket!!

    12. I live a short ferry ride away from NYC in Staten Island. You could visit our dojo!
    We are traditional hard core Okinawan GoJu Ryu. You would love it!

    13. Yay! I need to get a move on that…I still don’t know if I should go or not, but eh,what the heck, right?

    14. YOU’RE GOING?! Ack! I feel faint.

  14. Black Belt Mama on Thu, 13th Aug 2009 12:44 pm

    15. I am. “Ack” wasn’t the reaction I was hoping for. I already have my ticket
    and I think my husband reserved my hotel room!

Tell me what you're thinking...
