Almost six weeks ago Lisa, Jory and I asked for your feedback and help on making BlogHer '10 even better than BlogHer '09 in a post we called: We're listening. And here's what we're mulling over so far...

Ahhh, Friday and woo hoo!  Monday is a holiday too :-)Another great week here at BlogHer and here are some items that are of particular interest:

Happy Friday!Another fabulous and productive week here at BlogHer and here are the highlights...BlogHer Food -  today we were able to open up the waitlist and add more bloggers for BlogHer Food!  We are taking names off the waitlist in order they were received - keep an eye on your inbox! 

Some people at the BlogHer09 conference went mad for the swag. BlogHer Conference virgin that I was, I missed prime swag opportunities, I've been told. But seriously, I have pack rat issues already. Me and swag would have been a dangerous thing. Business cards, however--that's a different story. At the other end of a BlogHer business card is rarely a major corporation trying to sell you a tangible product. It's a woman saying "This is who I am" or at least how I want you to see me at this moment in my life.

BlogHer '09 is a few short days away and this year we introduced something brand new - LobbyCon!In an effort to help you meet up with fellow LobbyCon'ers' we have created a forum to chat about what  you'll be doing in between the the morning and evening general sessions. Click over, meet other LC'ers and start preparing your days!See you soon.

Welcome to Birds of a Feather '09 (BOF)!As we did last year, BlogHer '09 will feature BOF tables hosting various topics of interest that are either a continuation of a session topic or something new!  BOF will be held on both days during the lunch hour and you will be able to pick and choose which sessions interest you and you can "join your flock".Here is the process:

Wikipedia defines karaoke as: a form of entertainment in which amateur singers sing along with recorded music (and/or a music video) using a microphone and public address system. BlogHer defines karaoke as:PARTY PARTY PARTY!!!And we will do just that - party like it's 1999 (and sing it too)!  Bring your shower voices, have a sip of liquid courage and belt out that song like you've never done before.  

Thanks to all your input and amazing ideas we have really great blog bling in preparation for BlogHer '09...all of you are so clever!. Now, with LobbyCon Bling!!!: Here are the newbies:

Wow, what a week!We have been gearing up for the event and now it's go go go all the time!  This train has left the station.  Here are some highlights - 

THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS - DRUM ROLL....BDDDRRRRRRRRR (is THAT a drumroll sound?) 40 days to BlogHer Business! 41 days to BlogHer '09! OMG...I just gave myself heart palpatations ;-)Let's see, hmmm, what to tell you?  Oh, I know...

Happy Friday my friends!Another exciting week here at BlogHer but I must admit, I'm ready for the weekend.  I have a couple of items to call out as we wind up the week...Keynotes - We have announced the BlogHer '09 keynotes - take a peek!

May 29 - seriously?I do not know about the rest of you but is this year flying by or what?  Since we are at May 29, that means we are less than 2 months out from BlogHer Business and BlogHer '09; that is just plain crazy!But I digress.  It was another very busy week for us here in our planning process.
