Worth Every Penny
Oh man, you guys. I have so much to tell. At T-minus one day from the deadline for several work projects, though, it's going to have to wait. Hopefully I'll at least have Flickrings up before the day is out. For now, please see the following, which answers the question Simon posed last night as we waited for our El train to the airport: "Who were you most excited to meet at BlogHer this year?"
I don't know who Simon was most excited to meet at BlogHer this year, but I know who was most excited to see him!
I've said it before and I'll say it again: the conference panels and ya-ya grrrlpower that BlogHer hosts are great/wonderful/etc., but the real heart of the event is eating lasagne off of Kristin's plate, getting kicked out of a party with Schnozz and Moose, introducing my blogcrush to her blogcrush, and finding a toenail-polish soulmate in Kerflop.
And now if you'll excuse me, I have to go make some money.
There's some drunk girl on your boyfriend. In case you didn't notice.
I got to hang out with TWO of my blog crushes two days in a row. But I acted normal, right? Please tell me I was normal.

Posted by: Jennie at July 31, 2007 11:49 AMThere's some drunk girl next to the drunk girl on your boyfriend.
Hot gosh, it was good to see you.
Posted by: helenjane at July 31, 2007 11:54 AMPlease note: Boyfriend is also drunk.
Posted by: Leah at July 31, 2007 12:05 PMAm still mystified. That drunk girl on your boyfriend is HOTT.
Posted by: chirky at July 31, 2007 12:56 PMOMG. Do you know what I just realized? WE WERE STANDING NEXT TO EACH OTHER ON SATURDAY NIGHT. How we didn't meet is a mystery to me.
Posted by: chirky at July 31, 2007 12:57 PMThose are some undrunk-looking drunks, except for the leg hold.
Posted by: hello insomnia at July 31, 2007 01:55 PMIt was so great to meet you. I'm sorry we didn't have more time to chat. Everything went by so quickly.
Posted by: MammaLoves at July 31, 2007 02:07 PMMy soul, as is expected, hurts a little at the photo of you and Kristin with me obviously not in it.
Wish I'd been there with you two. There would have been some awesome drunkies.
Posted by: Krissa at July 31, 2007 02:17 PMIt was a pleasure meeting you and your boyfriend Simon.
Although, I wish I had the foresight to drape myself all over him like the drunk girl.
Damn.
All I did was talk about boobs with him.
I suppose it all worked out in the end. This way there is no photographic evidence of my making an ass out of myself for my husband to giggle over.
Posted by: Tanis at July 31, 2007 03:43 PMMet you only very briefly but look forward to reading your blog!
Posted by: Assertagirl at July 31, 2007 04:19 PMIt was so great to meet you! You are absolutely adorable and your boyfriend is pretty hott, too!
Posted by: Lizarita at July 31, 2007 05:18 PMGetting kicked out of a party by burly security guards...good times. I was frighteningly close to diving over your head and through the bathroom shutters to dump out my non-existent drink, the illicit beer memory was THAT strong.
Posted by: Moose at July 31, 2007 05:20 PMI won't say who was flushing what down the toilet, but there was definitely some flashback paranoia going on!
Posted by: Leah at July 31, 2007 05:23 PMdude - i didn't realize that hanging on your boyfriend was an option! perhaps i hadn't drunk enough yet. although i'd had enough to drunk-call him.....
leah, it was so great to see you again. super, super awesome.
Title of the first photo: Tall 'n' Lucky. As in, Kristin is (really) tall and you are lucky to have met her.
Posted by: Amanda at July 31, 2007 08:39 PMUmm, we met, right? And I know Heather (aka HOTT DRUNK CHICK ON YOUR BF) was around a lot, so yeah. We met. And yet I didn't get drunk around you and hang onto your HOT BF.
So can I make an appointment to do that next year? Sign me up.
Posted by: Mocha at July 31, 2007 08:50 PMSigh. Wish I was there with you and Kristin. I think I'm just going to Photoshop myself in and put it on my fridge :)
Posted by: Angella at July 31, 2007 08:56 PMI believe the byline of this year's made for tv blogher movie would be "blogher 2007: BOOBIES". It appears that Simon has a universal ability to make women talk about boobs, theirs, yours, Leah's, his.....
Posted by: jenB at July 31, 2007 09:05 PMOh my god, I love the picture of my blogcrush! How I didn't pick that sweet little girl up and put her in my BlogHer tote bag and take her home with me is a MYSTERY.
It was so great to meet you; I went straight home and said "Sean! I made us some new friends! They live nearby! We're all going to get together and play Trivial Pursuit!"
Posted by: Nothing But Bonfires at July 31, 2007 09:59 PMI just realized that, in a bout of retardation, I saved all those images as gifs, hence the dither. Doh.
Posted by: Leah at July 31, 2007 10:22 PMYou and Simon are both so charming, and gorgeous.
I tried to come back to the secret party Saturday night but it sounds like perhaps it had been busted up by the time I was prowling around the 20th floor in search of noise. Or I had the wrong floor. That cranberry juice, man, it kills brain cells.
Posted by: kerflop at August 1, 2007 05:11 AMI was so thrilled to meet you, Leah. I'll never forget the wine on the pier, the almost-closed restaurant twenty three billion miles away, the delicious pasta or (any of) the unbloggable conversations! I came excited to meet you and left with a San Francisco soul mate. You're the best.
Posted by: Kristin at August 1, 2007 09:07 AMwe spoke a few times but never at length.
i think you are beautiful and funny.
and your boyfriend is hot!
Posted by: gorillabuns at August 1, 2007 11:05 AMAdded you to my blogroll... I'm glad you made them most of DrunkHer, I mean BlogHer...
Posted by: shuey6 at August 1, 2007 11:15 AMI am, perhaps, an idiot. Only perhaps. But I can't find your email address, so I will leave you a comment instead.
We should get together sometime soon! This is in NO WAY related to all those tubes of bliss you have socked away somewhere. Ahem.
