For those of you who aren’t in the social media community, you probably don’t know about THE big blogging conference that went on this past weekend.
For those of you who are, you know what I’m talking about: BlogHer.
Unfortunately, I was unable to attend. As you’ll see, I had a little pity party of my own. I really thought more people would show up.
Be sure to check out the other vlogs linked up with this week for VlogTalk over at our site.
Also, if you didn’t see it already, be sure to check out My Suitcase Full of Tricks for her non-BlogHer attendee post yesterday.
If you went to BlogHer what did you think? If not, are you going next year?

HAHAHA!!! You just had to give me more pictures of GrassHer!! Oh my Lord you’re funny. The networking session was a little scary for me – imaginary friends?!
I won’t be able to get over your GrassHer pics for a month now! Hahaha!!

GrassHer is taking up a lot of my planning time. The networking session was scary – all those people swarming to meet me.

Thanks, Alison. I had business cards from when I went to Gleek Retreat. I love that Katy Perry song right now!
August 9, 2011 at 8:39 am
Aw, don’t cry. BlogHer wasn’t all that much fun….
Who am I kidding? I can’t lie. It was awesome. And next year will be even more awesome.
Can’t wait.
August 10, 2011 at 8:37 am
I know. It didn’t look fun at all.
I’m excited for it to be in NYC. Can’t beat that city!

Oh, thank you! You’re too sweet. I wish I was too – hopefully next year. GrassHer11 is still in the planning stages. That was just a little teaser. I will keep you posted.

Thank you! My husband did a really good job with them. What’s funny though is I ordered a ton and now there is a big part of the information on there that I’m changing in the next few weeks. Yah, I always think ahead.
August 9, 2011 at 11:52 am
Well, if I had known that there was a dance party happening in your kitchen, I might have driven the 3 hours to PARTAY. Instead, I cleaned out my cupboards, refrigerator & freezer. Seriously, #HomeHer11 was a very productive and big learning experience.
I’ll be there with you at #Blissdom12 & #BlogHer12… not missing out!

I actually felt kinda sorry for you, and then kinda jealous too. There were parts of that that looked like fun!
Go next year. BlogHer is awesome!
