BlogHer 2009 Chicago, Here I Come!

Author: Elizabeth

edited to add:  I wrote this post last Wednesday at about midnight and thought I published it. Because I couldn’t get an internet connection at BlogHer, I had no idea the post was saved as a draft until I checked my blog last night at a party with working computers. Sorry for any confusion!

I leave tomorrow morning at 7:30 am and drive northwest to meet up with Diana. We drive an hour west to pick up Deb, then head to Chicago!

Our first stop is the offices of t-shirt company Threadless, who not only invited me to come for a tour but said “sure” when I said by the way, can I bring two more people? From the look of their offices, it’s going to be a fun visit!

From Threadless we drive to the hotel. Deb and I and my roommate Lisa have a meet-up with Mom Central, then another one with the BlogHer Carpoolers. From there, Lisa and I are going to dinner with Team Mom/Child’s Play PR at an Italian steakhouse called Phil Stefani’s 437 Rush.

Back at the hotel, Lisa and I are planning to stop by the People’s Party, the MamaPop Party  and the Room 704 Party. By then I think we’ll be all partied out :)

Friday I have my volunteer job during lunch, afternoon break and during the evening cocktail party. I also have an interview on BlogTalkRadio, an event with EA Active at the House of Blues, and another event with Nikon at a restaurant called Flatwater. With special guest Carson Kressley!

Back at the hotel we’ll try to make it to the Type A Mom party, the MamaPopRocks party, and the CheeseBurgHer party. Followed by collapsing in bed.

Saturday I have lunch with the Tide/Bounce people  book s

    I never heard about BlogHer until I saw a short piece about it on PBS. I had no idea there were so many blogs like that.

    It appears the big companies (like P&G) have quite an interest in these types of blogs.

    So I smiled at you going toward the elevators from the lobby and didn’t even say hello, thinking I would probably run into you again. Whoops.
