but would it not be nice to explain how registration works for newbs?

Is there a big happy desk somewhere.....and when does it open?  Is it open on Thursday?

Look for me at http://crunchycarpets.com or check out the ladies at www.wetcoastwomen.com ( http://www.wetcoastwomen.com )

I'm Registration Manager, so odds are I'll be there when you pick up your badge!

And oh, by the way -- your little one rides for free on BART! All children under 4 are free on BART.

Jeanne, I think I love you. If you see me at the conference, please stop me so I can say thanks. This really has taken a load off of my mind. Now, if I could just find someone to go from SFO with me and help with the luggage and kid and stroller... :D

I've gone from daft to deft. (That's what using the right search terms can do for a gal.) If you're looking for '08 "I'm going" button codes, I found them at http://www.blogher.com/blogher-08-buttons-im-going...

Well, I'm daft.  Where can I get one of those nifty "I'm going to BlogHer" tile images for my blogs?

I also missed the registration deadline and I'm desperately seeking a Sat. pass. (I'd be willing to buy a 2-day if I can't get a 1-day pass.) Please leave a comment on my blog if you have an extra pass to unload.  Thanks!

If anyone hears of someone who needs to sell their pass, please send them my way. I am dying to go and already booked my flight, only to find that the conference is sold out. Help!

Does anyone out there need a roommate?  Or have a double room they are willing to swap for a single?  An extra person from Cincy is joining us, but we need another bed to make it happen.

 Anyone?  Anyone?

Since you said it was cooler in SF, I decided to add a weather widget for SF to my dashboard. Here's how it looked at 7:30 this morning.

Thank you so much! Yay! And I gotta give props to two BlogHers in particular:

Jeanne (above) was the one who came up with the brilliant idea of the BART walk-through and took all the pictures and did the write-up and everything.

And Joy (who recently posted about the new BlogHer laptop sticker ( http://www.blogher.com/laptop-bling-blogher-08 )) is our amazingly talented designer whose been helping with allllll kinds of BlogHer collateral on- and off-line. She's why it looks so great. :)

Major kudos on the guide! I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. It's just awesome, and I can't wait for the conference.

Another round of thanks for the detailed BART directions. That will most likely be the only item I print out from the guide. Great job to everyone who contributed!!

Thank you thank you thank you for the step-by-step directions for BART. That will help SO MUCH! I'll have a baby stroller and suitcase in tow and this relieves me greatly. Now I'll know where I'm going.

Thank you to whoever did that piece.
