As we ALL know Blogher 09 was this past weekend.
I think it was pretty cool to be a non-participant and follow people on twitter and their blogs on what was going on.
It was fun. Until I starting reading tweets about those of us that were following and not actually there, as being "left out" and "excluded"
But NOT ONCE did I feel "left out" or "excluded".
WTF is that bullshit?
For real? Just because I didn't get a free t-shirt, or a free dildo, or a bag of free crap with coupons? Cause I wasn't getting drunk with you at some hotel party? Just cause I was interested in how you were having a great time, I'm "left out"?
Get the fuck outta here.
I have a life. And just cause Blogher 09 was happening didn't mean that my life stopped to watch all the crap that you people were doing in Chicago.
Here's my take on the situation - you PAID a lot of your hard earned money to go to Blogher. It's not cheap. YOU DESERVED to get all the swag and brag about it! You deserved to tweet and blog about how much fun you had and how great this that and the other thing were. I'm GLAD you did, I enjoyed hearing about it, before this being "left out" shit started, I actually considered going to Blogher 10 cause its in my freakin backyard.
But now, I'm not so sure. Do I want to be part of that Blogher Clique? Maybe not. Do I want my vagina in an uproar over a stupid t-shirt? While that will never happen, it blows my mind that it did.
It just blows my mind that there were such narrow minded individuals that think how awful my life must have been because I wasn't in Chicago. PPPPPPPPPPhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhttttttttt! Bite me.
I had a freakin FANTASTIC weekend. I had a blast. Spent a day in NYC with a great friend, had an amazing dinner, and time with my husband and ya know what all you estrogen crazy women MISSED OUT, and were EXCLUDED from MY weekend. Every freakin weekend. How's that?

18 gimme your words here:
Ok, I think I love you.
I'm jealous that I missed out on your weekend too. LOL. Sounds like good times.
I'm sure BlogHer was a great time. But, I don't think it would be my kind of good time. I didn't see where there were any "Stripper Bloggers" there. ;-)
Nothin' but love for you, girl!! Glad you had an awesome weekend. :) :) :)
i was thinking about going to blogher 10~~but after reading about some of the shit~~and the required "dress up to see who has the best dress~shit~i love to dress up too~but all that crap of i'm wearing this and this and this ~i don't think so~give me my jeans and shorts any day over seeing "who wore what"
and if i am going to be "dressed to the nines" i want a penis involved LOL
i'm too old for that crap~~and all the stress over "what do i wear?" not for this old chick
Glad you had a great freaking weekend ;-)
Aloha-
(I'm so far away - you know how I feel. am I left out - or is everyone else? ;-)

I had no idea there was even such a thing as as blog fest 09? So guess I will not miss much by not attending blog fest 10:)
What a bunch o'crap .. not only was this past weekend AWESOME fun w/a fabulous gal pal and sushi/tempura for lunch but the weekend before that I was in VA for a blogfest that rocked with women who dressed in cut offs and tank tops and spent an amazing afternoon at/on a private beach on Chesapeake Bay .. and you know what?
Even with Blogher (which is 90% mommy bloggers and 10% mommy-wannabe bloggers) coming to NYC next year I wouldnt go if they gave me a free pass AND bags o'swag
I've wanted to check out BlogHer since I heard about it when I started blogging. I still would like to go, I think, just to see what it's like (chances are I won't get the chance ever unless there's a BlogHer 15 or they bring it to Europe). I know there's drama, but it looks like fun too.
Although the week of solid BlogHer posts leading up to and then a week after?
Yeah....those I skip.
Here, here! I'm with you, my weekend was fabulous.
I am so glad I don't give a flying fuck about Twitter enough to have even seen those tweets. I just don't care.
:P
I'm lost.. or am I just left out? :)
To be honest, I didn't tweet or blog... because I was there to meet bloggers and learn about blogging. There was no time to tweet or blog. I thought it was sad seeing bloggers, sitting together in the lobby, not talking to one another, yet blogging/tweeting furiously on their laptops/phones.
Very sad.
Oh, dear. Since you left me a comment saying that my tweet provoked this, I have to tell you, that is SO not what I meant.
What I meant was that when people who were there twittered about the great offsite/private/rsvp only parties, those of us at the sessions/suites/allBlogHer cocktail parties were reminded constantly what we were missing -- because we weren't hand picked, not chosen, for whatever reason. I found that distasteful.
By all means, if you didn't go, you weren't left out. You were doing something else. No judgement. No judgement at all, from this corner.
Dude. We live in NY. How can our lives here suck so bad? They don't.
PS - I love what Sarah said.
If Blogher 10 is in new yawk, will I need to have a vagina to attend? I think a year is enough time to get acclimated.
Better yet, do you think I could pose as a woman for the entire weekend?
@other marty - you don't need a vagina. In fact, those without vaginas make the whole thing more interesting.
@bubblewench - Dude. You totally have to go next year. It's people like you who keep it real. You would actually rock the conference I think. And don't believe the bit about it being all mommybloggers. That's not close to true. Mommyblogers just have the biggest and most annoying mouths (myself included).
I didn't feel left out either. I chose not to go, and the mountains were awesome.
Smooches :)
