We've hit 100! And over 500!

Busy news day from me.

First I want to let you know that we have passed the 100 mark on BlogHer registrations. (93% of those are for full two-day passes.)

I must confess, we were figuring that Day Two would have higher attendance than Day One for several reasons:

a. Day One is on a Friday.
b. Day One is all techie and hands-on, and not everyone is into that.
c. Going for the full two-days obviously costs more than sticking to Day Two and its $99 price.

I have been thinking that the people who are registering and reserving hotel rooms this early are our out-of-town BlogHers (and the proportion of out-of-town registrants is pretty high.) If you're going to fly in, you're probably more likely to want as much BlogHer for your buck as possible!

So, I'm happy to hear you all chime in: are there a bunch of Day Two only kind of BlogHers out there, or were we crazy to ever think that?

Oh, and the over 500 reference? We have almost 540 BlogHer registered on this site and on our BlogHerRoll! In one week. Pretty amazing, huh?

Of course I am staying two

Of course I am staying two days when I fly in from Germany! I am booked I think from the 25th into the hotel. So if we like, we can even set up something before that. ;)))

Heck, I'm booked for 2

Heck, I'm booked for 2 nights in the hotel (better get my registration in soon--darn those surprises to the budget) and I'm just driving down from the north bay!

Hope to learn a lot during geek/tech day.. and still don't know what the second will be about.

I'm coming in from Maryland,

I'm coming in from Maryland, and have never been to California before, so two days (of the conference) it is. I'm not sure what I'm doing before or after, but I'm pretty open.

I'm excited about Day 1, because I really am motivated to learn more about the technical side of things. It's my weak area, but I'm fascinated by all the different blogging options available (platforms as well as media) and am really trying to learn as much as I can. Bring it all on!

Flying from Vancouver, Canada

Hey,

I'm doing two days also (and staying three nights) because it's not really worth my while to fly in otherwise. I'll admit that when I heard Day 1 was going to be all techie I seriously contemplated registering for Day 2 only and spending Day 1 shopping! But once I looked at the schedule, I realised there's some sessions that could really benefit me despite not being too techie. I think Day 1 is not as geekified as you make it out to be!!
