Join your Flock - Birds of a Feather '09

I know there are lots of us expats out there!

I also second Pop & Ice's idea of an Older-Mom or an "I am more than just my children" bloggers group.

Would love to meet other bloggers focused on family travel!

Ah, my people! You're here! (Can we talk about books too, please?)

There's gotta be a few of us there, right?

...would really make me happy! 

frugal living/couponing
higher education
leadership/management 
community activism
PT bloggers trying to figure out how to be productive in our FT work and our blogging and still have a life with our families!
Can't wait to see you all -- I'm a newbie.

What about those of us with BlogTalkRadio shows, MomTV host's, etc?

Love the Nerd/Geek table idea!

Mom Spark ( http://momspark.net )

Mom Made That! ( http://mommadethat.com )

I'd call that geeky, too, myself. There's tech geeks, fantasy geeks, video game geeks.

It's all geeky goodness.

I blog at Everyday Goddess ( http://everydaygoddess.typepad.com/ ).

Many of us at BlogHer are geeky, but I bet there's also a sizeable contingent of nerds. I'm talking, girls who oline up to see Harry Potter movies, can quote extensively from Star Wars, and/or can beat their own kids on any given Xbox game.

Seconded for the Politics table. My family stopped letting me talk about it around them. ;)

I second (or third) the request for a book table!  Can't wait to see you all in person.

I was bummed we didn't get a room of your own for that.

Hey there!  We definitely need a table for green bloggers - there are a bunch of us!

There are two days of this, right? :-)

(Still hoping that book bloggers get a table, too!)

 I would love to see a table for the 20-something bloggers!

A place for the renaissance woman:

I would love to see a sex-positive bloggers BOF. Also adding my support to the non-mom BOF.

Hope about a table on saving money and frugal living during this tough economic times?  The blogs offer a great way for people to share information and help each other!

Attachment Parenting
Food bloggers
Mom bloggers who work full time
Review bloggers
I know a lot of them have already been suggested, but I thought a second (or fifth) vote wouldn't hurt. :)

Would like to see a humor bloggers BOF too! Also "childless by choice" appeals to me. And anything food related.

There will be a number of us at BlogHer for the first time and we are a niche group that is growing and FAST!

 Would love to be represented! We are super sassy and fun!

Izzy Rose, author of The Package Deal: My (not-so) Glamorous Transition from Single Gal to Instant Mom

Lots of folks could use this one.

This New Miliennium "Glamma" Grandma will probably stop by the "soon to be empty nester" BOF and will probably be able to lend a few suggestions.

Would also like a "Who are YOU ... putting yourself first" BOF.

How about a BOF for talking about all things Photography.

How about a table for homeschoolers?  I second (or 3rd or whatever) the attachment parenting one.  And the one for those who are "green" or going green.  One for super-couponers?  Frugal moms?

Could we just combine all of those into one table, though, since I'm not quite sure yet how to clone myself?

Maybe I'll need to get my lunch to go because I want to eat with the Food, Diet/Fitness/Health, and Book bloggers.

The Food Bloggers are always a big bunch. Last year (or was it the year before?) they took up 2 or 3 tables.

What about healthcare bloggers, or student bloggers? 

I guess there are not as many student bloggers at the convention since students tend to be poor? Or maybe I am way off-base. :)

http://www.prosaicparadise.com/

How about a "I'm pregnant and all I think about is eating" table?

Oh, that's just me? 

Newbies, please....or non-mommy newbies. Not all of us have little ones at home. Some of us have grown children and/or grandchildren...which is a whole 'nother blog subject...and maybe another blog table. Thanks.

 Totally what I was going to say - Childfree :)

Would love to see a table for anyone who is fighting or has survived cancer--or would like to be inspired by those who are

Also, what about wedding blogs or bloggers who are engaged?  

I know it's a Room of Your Own topic, but there's never enough humor. (I am feeling tremendous pressure to make this post funny, but I haven't had my tea yet. Apologies.)

Another vote for non-moms & a suggestion of one for patient bloggers. 

Visit me at http://somebodyhealme.dianalee.net

 I third the suggestion for an attachment parenting table. It would be great to have a central location to meet all of the people I have been corresponding with virtually.

Also, what about a "green" (environmentalism) table?

I'd love the chance to meet some other bloggers who are writing about business and work-outside-the-home issues, such as being a better leader/manager, understanding issues of corporate reputation & strategy, changing the world through changes in the workplace, feminism at work, etc.

if there are any BlogHer folks out there who are interested in these issues, and if we don't get a table, let's tweet up?

Would definitely hope for a table for the fitness/weight management bloggers.

Also, a big ditto on the non-mommy BOF.

Thanks for requesting the input!

Changing to a healhtier lifestyle...one eensy, teensy step at a time.

I will likely be hanging out at the feminist BOF, but I think some other cool ideas would be one focused on privacy issues/anonymous bloggers and one focused on reviewers.

I'd definetly stop by.  My nephew enlisted in the Army and is at Basic Training right now.

My mom blog: Toast on the Ceiling  http://toastontheceiling.blogspot.com ( http://toastontheceiling.blogspot.com/ )

How about a BOF table for Military spouse, parents, siblings, family, friends, and any military supporter period!

Oh, and definitely thirded on the non-moms.

Musicians and music bloggers please!!

How about a politics/law/non-personal  blogger table?  I'm feeling a little out of place since my blog isn't personal or social at all.

Moms of Teens would be AWESOME.

I second Annie's suggestion for Attachment Parenting bloggers.  I've seen a lot of AP-mommas talking about BlogHer and I would love to have a central location to meet them.

Melissa

if I dare to be so specific, even a meet-up for recipe bloggers or food photographers would be great!

 Bloggers who don't and/or won't monetize their blog.

I couldn't help but laugh at the My Family Hates my Blog BOF.  My sister is the anti-blogger and is not shy with her feelings.  With her consent, she has become a recurring blog theme ( http://www.peachesandcoconuts.com/2009/05/she-thre... ) because of her anti-blog barbs. She's funny but mean!  I wonder if you can use your family as material, too.

If there's a table, I'll definitely stop by-

How could I have not thought of that? There's not a night I go to bed without reading for an hour or so!
