My Bloggy Valentine: Join Us for a Special BlogHer Meet-Up on February 6th in San Francisco!

When: Friday, February 6
Time: 6:30 - 8:30
Where: 330 Ritch (A bar at 300 Ritch St.), San Francisco, CA
Who: All BlogHers and BlogHims who find themselves in the Bay Area
Why: Because what could be sweeter than a pre-Valentine's meet-up with Bay Area BlogHers...and free drinks, delicious nibbles, games, prizes...you get the picture
Fee: Free, free, free! (But you must register to attend.)

Whether you can't stand or can't wait for Valentine's Day, now is the perfect time to shake off the post-holiday doldrums and have a little non-traditional pre-Valentine's Day fun by joining us at our special BlogHer Meet-Up. BlogHer meet-ups are always informal opportunities to eat, drink, be merry...and network like a blog-business-card-exchanging fiend. This meet-up will be no different, and this time we've got some exciting extras!

Thanks to Nintendo, our gracious sponsor and host, we'll also be featuring demos of the Nintendo DS game, "Personal Trainer: Cooking." What's more, we'll actually be serving some of the delicious and healthy culinary treats featured in the "Personal Trainer: Cooking" game for you to sample.

So...in case you were wondering what to prepare for that special Valentine's Day meal for you, your partner, your family, your friends (or, you know, the staff at BlogHer), we'll even be showcasing one brave blogger who'll prepare a dish -- live and on the spot -- from "Personal Trainer: Cooking." Think of it as entertainment you can eat!

So please join us, and bring your blogging buddies. The event, food, drinks (and yes, prizes!) are completely free, but you must register to attend. Space is limited and we'll be checking guests in at the door.

330 Ritch is conveniently located just a few blocks from the San Francisco CalTrain Station and the Montgomery BART Station. For directions, please click here.

Hope to see you there!

Goody :) esp of whomever dotes on you'll and
gives the goods

There's TOO much to celebrate:

a. Blogher's fabulous leadership

b. Kristy's having a baby....oh, and yeah, she's also getting married (duh which one am i more excited about :) )

c. Erin's gonna represent blogher at the inauguration...she can just swooop home via SF for this partay.

d. Jory went to Africa, and so many other places this year...

e. Lisa's letting us pick our faves :)

f. Denise is always there to help me put on my techie geekdom

g. Um yeah, isn't a newbie gonna be in the oval by then....those 2ndary newsworthy facts just get overlooked from time to time...kidding!

I become a much different geek in the below zeros so bare with me.

Seriously have a ball.

And whoever goes for blogher, give deez ladies much lovin.

I just was reading conference lowdown on web 2.0 in SF.

DOES EVERYONE REALIZE THE BARGAIN OF $200 for 2 full days of blogher?

I'm really stunned the value we get....STUNNED.

What's the cost of a life changing event? How can you put a value on that?

And now this freebie mixer?

And to me that means gifts for the organizers who continue to make it so darn accessible to so many.

Seriously.....

Have so much fun.... really really really am grateful for all ya'll .

I'll be quiet now and give the mik to someone else....at least til my next post.

Hugs.

(yes, yes I know...Denise is in Chicago and Erin's in the Pacific Northwest...i'm not that much of a newbie)...they all still deserve a partay....

and so many more I haven't mentioned.

Okay. that's right...I did say I was going now.

Toodles...

Yep! I will be 41 on the 8th.

But I just found out I have to drive back down right after the party to attend a memorial on Saturday morning.

What a Trip!

Asked my introvert, non-blogging husband to join me and he said "Yes." He even said this sounds like fun. I know you haven't met him yet, but that's saying a lot.

Look out Chicago and San Francisco; here we come.

Thanks for hosting us!

The event was a lot of fun -- I've posted some pictures on my Flickr page if you want to check them out! Thanks to the BlogHer and Nintendo folks for hosting us!

Thanks Genie-I posted some on Flickr too!

Here's my link.

Thanks for coming and for taking those great shots. [FYI: Stephanie, from a Year of Crockpotting, who did the demo, was only saying that since she spent the last year making everything in her crockpot, she had never made bruschetta and wasn't much of a foodie.]
