Whether you're going to BlogHer '09 in Chicago or not, you're invited to a blogger meet-up in one of 17 cities this June.
Thanks to some incredible blog-hostesses with the mostest -- with a little help from BlogHer.com's new party-starting Groups technology -- you can find out below where and when bloggers are getting together in Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Boulder/Denver, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Los Angeles, NYC, Philadelphia, Portland, San Francisco, Seattle, St. Louis, Tampa, Toronto and Vancouver.
Why the meet-ups? Every year we see women blogging about wanting to get together with other BlogHers who live nearby -- some of us wish we could attend BlogHer's annual conference but can't, or newbies with pre-conference jitters write about wondering what to wear, or oldies write about wondering who's going.
This year, we have the technology! You may not even have a ticket to BlogHer '09, but don't let that stop you from joining us. As you'll see from the list below, the bloggers hosting these meet-ups are amazing, talented women whom we think you'll really enjoy meeting. Huge props to Jenny Lauck of Three Kid Circus -- this was her great idea.
