oooh, directions

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.

Jeanne, I think I love you.

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

You will probably find me first!

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.

Agree on the directions!

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!!

Dancing Around

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) 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. :)

I love men but...

...when I need real shit done, it is by the hands of women. We just know how to make it better for each other!

Thank you!

Since you said it was cooler

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.

ATTENTION PLEASE!

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?

I missed the registration deadline- Help!

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!

looking for a Sat. pass!

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!

A "badge" for my blogs

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

Nevermind...

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-im-speaking-im
