Like surfing a perfect web

I loved the Keynote speakers' readings this year! It was like surfing the perfect web, where you click on a link and get taken to an A+ post every time! Each speaker did an amazing job, despite their nervousness, and every single reading was top notch.

Thank you for giving all the bloggers an opportunity to showcase their best work and for giving us one of the most memorable hours of the BlogHer conference. If you missed it, you missed a lot!

Megan has me worried that we have to arrive pathologically early...

What a terrific list of A+ bloggers. I'm really looking forward to my first BlogHer conference!

I have tears in my eyes remembering last year and such happy butterflies for all of the readers this year.

A shout-out to last year's readers - can we sit together at an alumni table? With tiaras on? Or at least confidence wigs?

Looking forward to this

This is my first time BlogHer experience. Really looking forward to the community keynote. Now if I only had a video camera that didn't eat batteries.
