Avitable at BlogHer 2009
This lazy Friday post is sponsored by BlogHer 09, taking place in Chicago on July 24-26th.
I will be there. Will you?
Edited to add:
Not only will I be there, I'll be on a panel, too, talking about the Vaginally Challenged Men of BlogHer. There will be nudity. Probably.

Nope. I'll actually be at a Polish festival, dancing my dupa off!

@Kris, is "dupa" Polish for clothes?

I want to go sooo bad !!! But alas, the will won't be in probate court til July 28th. Days later. Leave it to he "justice" system to eff up my chance to start my life over. I have to pit my bills ahead of my fun , and my life.

@Kim, it might be a bit much for you, though, so that could be a good thing.

No.

@Finn, maybe next year!

Why so coy…aren't you even going to mention your panel?
:)
Reply
@Elisa Camahort Page, good point. Hadn't realized that you made that public yet!
Reply
Just to be clear, am I going to be the naked one? I think BusyDadBlog should be nude one.
Reply
@Matthew, unfortunately for both of you and everyone in the audience, it will likely be me.
Reply
I will be at BlogHer. Can't wait to meet you. For realz.
Reply
@Undomestic Diva, same here!
Reply
Nope. I will be at canadas largest dinaslur (typo but it stays) museum.
Reply
@bluepaintred, and happy birthday, BTW!
Reply
@bluepaintred, I loled at dinaslur.
Reply
I will be there, administering spankings to all the men who dare to show up and ruin my estrogen-fest. Hand, hairbrush, riding crop? Take your pick and get in line.
Reply
@Suebob, as long as I get laid, I'm okay with that!
Reply
I shall be there with bells on. Guess where they'll be tied?
Reply
@Karl, to your labia?
Reply
BlogHer = way too expensive. If it wasn't so expensive I probably would have gone because of its proximity to me (1.5 hours by plane, 11 hours by car…). The panel sessions alone sold me.
Have fun, though.
Reply
@Robin, I got in for free by being a volunteer.
Reply
I'm there, but the excessive foreplay is ruining my jones. I think I'm going dark for the rest of the month to try to regain my sense of wonder and excitement.
Reply
@Deb on the Rocks, plus you hate the idea of men going, don't you?
Reply
No, men are awesome! They remind the straight chicks about why they want to switch teams. (I don't think y'all needed a room of your own, but other than that, I'm all about the vaginally challenged.)
Reply
@Deb on the rocks, well, to be fair, the women are the ones who voted for it!
Reply
No. The cost of the plane ticket, transportation, taxis, hotel room, food, and other expenses I could handle. The $198 admission fee to BlogHer was just too much ($298 after February!).
Reply
@Dave2, it's practically in my backyard and I couldn't see paying $198 to spend my vacation days locked in a room with a billion women. ::shudder::
Reply
@Dave2, mine was free.
Reply
Nudity, huh… are you sure you are up for that? I mean, it's not like you've posted any… uh… err…. nevermind.
Good luck, ladies.
Reply
@martymankins, hopefully they'll all wear their protective eyewear.
Reply
I'll be there. The one with the gnarly scar hiding in a corner.
Reply
@Overflowing Brain (Katie), scars are hot, so don't hide in the corner!
Reply
This almost makes me want to go to BlogHer. Yeah, not really.
Reply
@Tracy Lynn, hahahahaha! I can't imagine you there.
Reply
Will be there. Will be clothed, but bra may be optional. We'll see how much alcohol ZoeyJane makes me consume.
Reply
@Fear and Parenting in Las Vegas, bras should be voluntary at BlogHer of all places.
Reply
I'm going, and I'm going to be whoring out my sponsor, which is the only reason I am able to go because I am a broke fucking bitch this summer. Two teenaged boys out of school = a grocery bill almost as high as my mortgage. But you're safe from my whoring, Adam, since it's a chick thing.
Reply
@Angel Smith, well, here I was looking forward to some whoring, too.
Reply
I'll be the girl in the front row wearing a skirt and precious little else. For the record and all.
Reply
@Mr Lady, will you save me a seat next to you?
Reply
@Mr Lady, will you pull a Basic Instinct for me?
Reply
Rather you than me I think.
Reply
@Dan, I'm a wee bit intimidated by the sheer amount of estrogen that is sure to be in the air.
Reply
Is part of your "vaginally challenged" panel going to include a demonstration of Kegel exercises? I keep telling you – they work! I really think it would help you.
Wait.
Should I be saving this for the question and answer portion?
Reply
@Miss Britt, we'll be asking for volunteers from the audience. Bring your weights.
Reply
That's fucktastic! Can't wait to meet you.
Reply
@Amo, same here.
Reply
oh hell no.
Reply
@hello haha narf, hahahaha!
Reply
Yessir.
And since I don't think you answered my damn question, both the other Maria and this Maria will be hugging you. Probably at the same time.
Reply
@Maria, sorry – took me a while to get to all the comments. I will accept hugs and return gropes.
Reply
Nope, I'll be up in Oregon. Have fun! I think one day you're going to join a nudist colony, if you haven't already ; )
Reply
@cat, I would, but all the women there are uggos!
Reply
WHAT? YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE IN NYC FOR MY 20 FOR THE 16th TIME BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION?!
hmph.
Reply
@Poppy, my invite must have gotten lost in the mail.
Reply
No way.
I'll be here having Peas & Carrots Fest with MisterBritt.
Reply
@Hilly, taking the J-train to H-town.
Reply
I was going to go til I found out it was $198 just for the pleasure of walking through their doors. Then I found out you could buy cheap seat tickets just to go to the parties so I was gonna do that but they were sold out. I hope you are able to squeeze in a few hours for me while you're here though!
P.S. Yay! All that spam worked on getting you a panel! ::woot::
Reply
@Sheila (Charm School Reject), we'll get to hang out, don't worry.
Reply
@Avitable, umm, you better. (i'm looking forward to meeting you!)
Reply
Mmmm.. no.
But I certainly look forward to your vaginal posts.
Reply
@Sybil Law, the feeling is mutual.
Reply
@Avitable, Yeah, I left myself WIDE open for that one.
Oh, shit. And I did it AGAIN.
Gah. I give up today!
Reply
I will be there.
without a cell phone, of course
Reply
@ali, I feel like I should send you a disposable phone just so I have a secret number to reach you and I'll be Commissioner Gordon and you'll be Batman.
Reply
I'll be there.
Reply
@Employee No. 3699, looking forward to meeting you!
Reply
I will not be there. Instead, I will be at home with the doors locked pretending to do something productive while I sit on the internet and eat my way through a box of Moon Pies. But you have fun!
Reply
@Keira, moon pies? At least go with something good like Ding Dongs.
Reply
Fuck, fuck, fuck…. NO. And I LIVE in Chicago…. I will be in Sonoma at the Wine Bloggers Convention, inconveniently scheduled the same weekend… Have fun.. and feel free to bug my husband and kids left home alone without a car.
Reply
@Maman, wine blogging instead of mommy blogging? Crazy!
Reply
Will the nudity include hot Asian women, or will it just be more pictures of you? I already have all the pictures of you I need for my fapping sessions.
Reply
@Grant, I wish you'd remove those cameras you've installed around here.
Reply
I know that this question is obviously a rhetorical one when it comes to myself.
Since you love wrestling as much as I love soul sucking corporate mongering mommies, and as a rhetorical question, obviously the answer is a resounding HELL NO! in the vein of Stone Cold Steve Austin.
I think we're even.
Reply
@NYCWD, and here I thought you'd love the corporate moneymaking environment!
Reply
I'll be there. I'm live blogging, so I'm not sure what sessions I'll be doing that for. But I'll try to come to yours, assuming I'm not obligated elsewhere. Either way we can get wasteface later on right?
Reply
@Miss Grace, fo sho.
Reply
Bossy delights SO at the idea of seeing you at BlogHer. Drinks on her! Which Bossy can offer because she knows you don't drink… Always thinking of your wallet, silly Bossy.
Reply
@BOSSY, I may actually drink there. Be prepared.
Reply
Oh, I'll be there.
Reply
@Coal Miner's Granddaughter, I'm so excited, too!
Reply
Of course I'll be there.
Reply
@Aunt Becky, well, of course.
Reply
I'll be at my house or possibly Disney World.
Reply
@Amanda of Shamelessly Sassy, are you coming to Orlando the same weekend I'm going out of town?
Reply
I won't be there. I would rather go to your Halloween party.
Reply
@Lynda, well, that works for me!
