BlogHer '12 Roommate(s) Needed
Kinda went off the radar for a while, but back on seeing if anyone needs a roomie...I am from New England (originally from Michigan); 42 years old, have two kids (13 and 4). My 4 year old was conceived via IVF, would love to meet other infertility bloggers, etc. I am a sci fi geek and I am a first time BlogHer attendee. My blog is: http://polantworld.blogspot.com/
Contact me via my email or comment on blog. Thanks!
Hi Fellow Bloggers:
I really want to attend Blogher '12. This would be my first time to attend this or any other convention. My name is Jackie Cirillo and I am from Houston, Texas. I am married and have 4 beautiful daugters and 1 awesome son in law. I blog about savings, discounts, coupons, daily deals, etc. at www.realcouponhousewife.blogspot.com.
I am very outgoing and love to have fun and want to attend all the sessions, parties and other events. I would also like to see some of New York City while I am there. I've been there once before. My mom took me when I graduated from high school, which was (OMG) 30 years ago this year. Do the math and that pretty much gives my age away.
I do not have a hotel room, as I just recently decided I was up for this adventure. Now there are not rooms available for all nights at the blocked rate. I am looking for someone who might want a roommate to share half the expense with. I am neat and easy to get along with and can pretty much go with the flow of things. I would like to stay from August 1 to August 5, 2012 or possibly August 6, 2012.
If anyone is interested in a Texas roommate, please email me at realcouponhw@yahoo.com.
Hi, I'm a first time Blogher attendee looking for a roommate now that the hubby and kids are staying home.
I have a double room at the Hilton from Wednesday, August 1st to Sunday, August 5th.
I plan to attend all the events, sessions, and parties or as many things as my old self can handle.
There I said it, I'm an old lady, at least compared to most of you in this thread. I'm in my forties, married, with two kids, and a non-smoker. I like to have fun and laugh, but know when it's time to be serious.
So why aren't I contacting someone else who also posted for a roommate vs posting my own search? I'll tell you: Plain and simple, greed. As a Hilton HHonors member with Gold status, if I keep my reservation I get bonus points, free bottles of water, and depending on availability, a free room upgrade.
Wanna get in on the "deal"? You can reach me via any of my blogs:

TravelingWellForLess I just posted a comment on your travel blog to see if we might be a good fit for roommates.
dianaelee :) Looking forward to meeting you IRL, roomie. :)

I just left you a comment. Looking forward to hearing from you.
jcirillo Thanks, Jackie. Diana responded first, so I'm going to room with her. Good luck in your roommate search. :)
I'm also looking for a roommate for BlogHer this summer. I'm arriving on Wed. Aug 1 and leaving Sun. Aug. 6th. I've already reserved a double room and need a non-smoker. I'm 44, married with 1 son, live in Texas and am pretty laid back. I'm not a social butterfly but don't care if you are. You can read my blog to get a feel for who I am if need be - http://www.mylifesuchasitis.com I'm on Twitter as well texasebeth
texasebeth Hello! I'm looking for a roommate for the same dates and priorities. Send me an email through my blog http://somebodyhealme.com if you're still looking!
I'm sorry for not replying to anyone earlier than now! My husband and I have been arguing about his wanting to tag along on this trip with our 7 yr old son to make it a "family vacation". I do not want either of them to come since this is not a vacation per se. I want to have fun, learn all I can at sessions, meet new and old friends, and have some time to myself.
I have finally won the argument, I think. Now I can start focusing on finding a roomie. Thanks.
Happy to say that I found a roommate for the BlogHer 12 conference. Excited to meet my DC digital sister Arnebya Herndon at BlogHer in August. We are doing to have a great time! Best wishes to everyone on their search for a roommate!
Happy April BlogHer Ladies!
I am really excited about BlogHer this year. I attended BlogHer 2009, 2010, and 2011. It's one of my favorite social media conferences. I am happy that it is in NYC because I can travel easily from DC.
In February, I booked a double room at the Hilton NYC for the evenings of Thursday, August 2, Friday, August 3, and Saturday, August 4. I plan to arrive in New York City during the early afternoon on Thursday, August 2 and will be checking out and leaving in the morning on Sunday, August 5. I also plan to attend most of the events and sessions. I am speaking at the Podcasing session.
I am in search of 1 roommate to share hald of the room expenses from August 2-August 4 with a Sunday AM check out. I ask that the roommate provide her credit card to the front desk when she checks in so that our bill is split in half. I will be providing mine too. I don't plan to order room service or add additional items to the room bill.
If you are interested in sharing a room, please email me at kiamshaleeke@yahoo.com and provide your blog/Twitter ID/web site. Also, feel free to check out my blog http://authoranandaleeke.wordpress.com and Twitter stream http://twitter.com/anandaleeke to see if I would be a good fit. After I get your email, I will set a phone chat. Thanks for reading my request.
Enjoy your day!
Ananda Leeke
anandaleeke Yay Ananda! I'm so glad you'll be attending again this year. It's always such an honor to see you.
Good luck in your roommate search -- I'll send folks your way when I see them!
Denise
Thanks Denise.

Hi, I'm Mandy from Since My Divorce and I blog about life after divorce. I'm in my fifties, live in Colorado, have two kids - one in college and one in high school. I'm looking for a roommate ... I'm arriving on Wednesday August 1 and checking out on Sunday August 5. I'm pretty easy going and sociable but not a night owl, don't snore and won't hog the bathroom. If you're just looking for someone to share a room but not hang out with, that's fine with me. Contact me via twitter @sincemydivorce or email at mandy @ sincemydivorce.com
Hello, hello! I'm Danielle from Tales From The Mamaside and Another Version of Mother. This will be my first time attending BlogHer, and I'm super stoked! I plan on attending all the events I possibly can, and will be volunteering while I am there, so I am expecting a couple early mornings.
I'm 27 years old, and since this will also be a kidfree trip, I plan on enjoying the parties too. So I need a roommate that either wants to party with, or doesn't mind a night owl. This is also my first time to NYC, so I plan on spending some time out in the city on the night I arrive, as well as the day of the 2nd. I'd love to have an exploring buddy!!
I'm flying in from Alberta, Canada, and will be there later in the afternoon on August 1st, so I need a roommate from August 1-5th. If you think you'd be up for sharing a room, let me know!
If you want to chat, message me on twitter danielleb_c or email me at danielle.barnsley @ gmail.com
I also wanted to add, I may be staying until the 6th, depending on funds! I really want to be able to see NYC too!
Hi all = ) I'm Amber from Parent Palace and will be attending BlogHer this year for the first time! I'm looking for a roommate, or a few to cut costs so I don't have to go through the hassle of finding personal sponsorship.
I'm a 30 year old mom from VA, pretty laid back and am very much looking forward to the parties and events at BlogHer. Feel free to contact me on Twitter (@parentpalace) or e-mail me (media @ parentpalace.com) if you're interested in rooming!
AmberKillmon Have you found a roommate? I'm going to send you an email :)
Hello, I'm looking for a roommate or two or three for Aug 2nd-5th at the Hilton, where I have a double-bed room reserved. I'm from Ohio and have been blogging at sotabulous.com for about four years now, at turnrightatlakemichigan.blogspot.com for three years, and for other blogs freelance for a couple of years. I'm 28, a mom of two kids under 3, and this is my first time to BlogHer but far from my first time to NYC. I plan on attending parties and a great deal of events and promise I'm fun without being overly bubbly or hyper. :) I don't smoke, but whatever comes with me will probably bear evidence of my five (yes you read that right) cats so if you have a severe allergy please don't make me have to give you an Epi shot. I'm at tabulous if you want to give me a shout or see the kind of things that strike my fancy.
Tabulous Emailed you about rooming if you're still looking for someone to share a hotel with.
Hi! My name is Dana this is my first blogher (excited). I am 26 (27 by the time of blogher) hoping to attend as many parties and events as I can (in other words up late/early). I have a king bed room booked in the Hilton from Thursday night until Sunday morning. I am seeking a roommate. If interested you can reply to me here or email me thedragynslair@gmail.com. Looking forward to meeting new people and making friends.
Hello! I am attending the conference and need a roomie! My name is Brittney. I’m 23, from Oklahoma and fairly new to blogging. You can visit me over at www.brittneysorrdinarylife.blogspot.com. I blog about my life as a single girl fresh out of college, starting a career in PR. Don’t let my age fool you. I’m not too crazy; I am not interested in staying out bar hopping or anything like that! (wow this feels like an ad on a dating site). This will be my 3rd time in NYC so I’ve already done all the touristy type stuff. However, I would love to go to a Broadway show and do some shopping. I would like to stay the 2nd – 6th (arrive Thursday, leave Monday). I plan on spending Sunday exploring the city! If you’re interested let me know!
I'll be attending my first BlogHer! I live in NJ & work in NYC, but think it would be best to stay in for the conference. I'm looking for a room mate.

Hello! My name is Jennifer and I am a 32 year old working-mom from Washington, D.C.! I am hoping to find a roommate (or two or three) to split the room costs. I will be arriving on August 2nd and leaving on August 5th. I plan on attending some parties and as many events as I can. This is my first conference and I am looking forward to absorbing as much info and meeting as many bloggers as possible. As a mom, I don't sleep much so you needn't worry about disturbing me (and I certainly will not disturb you). Please check out my blog http://mommyhuh.wordpress.com or visit me on Twitter DCWorkingMommy if you might be interested in sharing a room.
@DCWorkingMommy Hi, let me know if you're still looking for a roommate. I'm in DC as well but I'll be at the conference the 3rd thru 5th.
Hi Everyone :) I am also looking for roommate(s) for BlogHer. I will arrive on Aug 2nd and will leave on the 5th. I am 27 and a mommy blogger and I would love to experience the parties and as many activities as possible. My blog is www.onesmileymonkey.com Twitter: @onesmileymonkey. Please get in touch if you think we would be a match and you would like to be my roommate :)
Hey Im looking for a couple of roommates. I think it would be great if I could get 3 others to share a room with so we could really keep the price down! I plan on heading to NY on the 2nd I want to be there before the 1st party! Im gonna head home in the morning on the 5th. Im from Colorado, I plan on attending as many of the parties and social events I can, just really want to get the full experience. You can check out my blog to see if I might be someone you'd like to room with. My blog is www.everythingaccordingtojen.com if interested please email me at everythingaccordingtojen@gmail.com.
I'm coming up for BlogHer via Amtrak and would like to stay from Aug 1-5. This is my first BlogHer. (I'm giving a talk in the Visual track on Saturday!) It'll be awesome!
But hotels are costly, and trips are more fun when you have a partner in crime. I want to split a room with someone! Are you interested? Hit me up at rachelnabors at gmail dawt com
I am 27, an award winning cartoonist, and lots of fun! Check out my sites at rachelnabors.com and rachelthegreat.com if you need proof!
Actually, looks more like I could arrive on the 2nd.
P.S. I'm super cool, trust me. I'm a deep sleeper, super respectful, and really easy-going. I get along with pretty much everyone! It would be ideal to room with other gals closer to my age (I'm 24), but I'm really down for whoever! Look forward to hearing from you!! For more about me, just visit my blog. It'll tell you everything!
Hey, I'm looking for a room mate as well! I'm a newbie to the world of blogging and I'll be attending Blogher for the first time. I'm pumped! At the time of the conference, I will be living in New York, but I would like to stay at the Hilton where the conference is being held for the weekend, just for convenience.. as well as any quick costume changes that may or may not need to occur ! :-) Please feel free to e-mail me at punkyandthecity at gmail dot com. You can also check out my blog if you'd like: www.punkyandthecity.com
Cheers!

Hey ladies. I've been blogging as @scouthonor for six years at unitedstatesofmotherhood.com and can you believe this will be my very first conference EVER? What was I thinking..oh yes, crowds, scary strangers, slightly introverted, eek! I know! Anyhoo, I am putting my big girl panties on and looking for some friendly faces who would like to room together and hold hands. :) You can email me at scout@unitedstatesofmotherhood.com or tweet me at @scouthonor or find me on FB as Heather Murphy-Raines https://www.facebook.com/murphyraines
About me: Lifestyle, humor, food, mom blogger. Hitting the big 4-0 nary days after the conference. Former SF Bay Area Girl now married in Seattle. Swim mom to three kiddos: 10 yr old son, 12 yr old daughter, and 15 yr old son.
Favorite cocktail: Mojito or lemon drop
Deep sleeper when I finally do sleep so no need to tiptoe around--ask me husband. A barge won't wake me!
So far time staying is open, but considering Wednesday thru Sunday. Let me know!!
And apparently I am so nervous I can;t type my own twitter handle...it's scoutshonor
Hi there. I'm Amy. 33... 34 come BlogHer time. I am going to be taking the train from Downingtown PA Wed afternoon and checking out Sunday. I need a roommate! I'm staying at the event location. I blog at hamletsmistress.com. You can email me through my site or contact me on twitter Hamlet's Mistress or email me at asilknitter at gmail dot com I'm also on FB at Amy Ault Silknitter. THanks!!
@Hamlet's Mistress @Hamlet's Mistress Just sent you an email - I'm right up the turnpike from you and I'll be attending as well. Hope we can room together!
I might be going to BlogHer - I would love to go Fri-Mon (and airfare is cheaper then too!) but will most likely do Fri-Sun. I write over at yesnofilms.com and I also write for the Detroit Examiner. My book blog is http://booksithinkyoushouldread.blogspot.com, as well. You can follow me at yesnofilms@facebook.com/yesnofilms too.
I would be coming from the Detroit metro area and would definitely need a roommate to swing the hotel cost. I'm 25 and have been "seriously" blogging since 22 or so, when I graduated from college, though I started my first personal blog at age 16. :)
Random question too - if I was to only purchase the party/expo pass - what time do they start on Friday? (ie, could I take a flight that arrives at 4-6pm, or would that be too late?) I'm looking at Spirit and also Delta for airfare.
(and I guess that www.facebook.com/yesnofilms link didn't come up ... oops.)
Hello! The BlogHer parties will actually start on Thursday (Aug. 2nd) evening at 8 PM. We will be announcing our parties for BlogHer '12 very soon, so keep your eyes peeled for more information this week!
