My Dream BlogHer

TW — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:59:14 -0600

Someone needs to create a panel or ROYO or some such for the: geeky but not super geeky shy or not so shy chick who doesn't want to change the world, doesn't expect her blog to pay the bills, doesn't really have the motivation to change themselves or their blog-or at least not talk about it BUT does want to hang out with BlogHers, talk to them, learn them, learn their blogs, learn who they are and why. You know, the BlogHers who may daydream about all of the above or not, but really go to BlogHer to see the people they love and to fall in love with new voices, new women.

The "I like my blog. I like myself. I will save the world as soon as these other five hundred projects get done." group.

Because

I can code well enough to make me happy but not well enough to talk about it and in order to want to learn more code-I need to decide to do that and hide somewhere.
I can SEO until you are blue in the face
I am in between wanting to save the world because I am young and idealistic and wanting to save it because I need something to do
I can daydream about quitting my day job and becoming a full time blogger with books and a harem. I could even do it. Well. But I know that I won't. (and really it is about as likely as being discovered while being a waitress in NY)
I won't slave over my writing-the blog is me. My writing style hasn't changed much in 14 years online. Again-I can daydream about it but...no.
I go to BlogHer to see people I adore, to find new women that rock my world, to enjoy the energy and excitement and hear the voices of women. I want to hear your story because even as fast as I read, I don't read the entire Internet every day.
I suppose it is that. I go to BlogHer because I want stories and voices. I want to see you realize that yes, someone does read your blog or care about your story. I want to see women see the beauty in someplace new. I want to be a part of the energy, the exhaustion, the laughing and the tears.

What a lovely holiday thing to do. I wish I were in NYC, but am leaving that very morning for Art Basel Miami! I sure hope that I can persuade a spring soiree?!

I'm all over the Houston area. You know, now that I actually know where I'll be living and all. I'll have a plan in place by Friday, for sure!

Vancouver Meet-Up

Kristin Darguzas — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:19:17 -0600

I just got off the phone with the very cool Terra (aka Zoey Jane) of Mommy Is Moody fame, and we're really excited about the possibilities of some holiday cheer in our rainy city.

We're thinking about Sunday, December 5th for a few reasons and hope that there will be some other Vancouverites interested in meeting up. We'll be tweeting and blogging to gauge interest, and hope to meet some other local kindred, writerly souls next month!

Squeal!!!

chubbychinesegirl — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:28:13 -0600

what a great event I can't wait! meeting fellow bloggers and also giving back is just what the holiday needs

I'm going to be in Montreal for a day

sassymonkey — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 11:00:13 -0600

But alas I'm already completely booked up. (Christmas exchanges, Nutcracker, etc.) But next trip! I'm usually in town a few times a year.

Looks like some cities may be in to do own meet-ups/food drives

Elisa Camahort — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:44:45 -0600

Look for announcements over the next week or so, but I hope several of our local groups will re-convene for a pre-holiday bash too!

Megan,

I am in NYC for business Nov 17-20 (I leave about noon Fri). If Wed or Thurs you wish to get a few writer/moms together, I'd love to meet for a drink. There are a few twittermoms I have wished to meet I cld invite them along as well.

Recently I was in Chicago and met up with writers who were new to me and had a wonderful time.

Best,

Lynne Kenney, PsyD www.lynnekenney.com @thefamilycoach

I think the Toronto BlogHers are going to plan a holiday meet-up

Elisa Camahort — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 14:06:56 -0600

I know it's not Montreal, but stay tuned.
