Much has been written in the blogging community about the upcoming BlogHer conference in the fabled "City by the Bay" (one of my fav’s, I must admit…). Having never been to the conference, I confess to feeling a little nervous about not knowing the ropes and knowing virtually no one (well, literally no one except my good buddy Michelle!).
So, when I saw that they were going to have a special welcome reception/mixer just for newbies (or Noob’s, as they seem to be referring to us…) like us, I actually had mixed feelings even then. Where would all the cool people be while the nerdy new people were trying to "mix"? (ha…) But then, they asked people for suggestions on what they wished they had known before they had come, etc., and the ideas were great, and I started getting really pumped about this conference. And not just because I get to leave my regular life for a few days…
I think we’re really going to learn something there. At least I hope so. Anyway, one of the comments, which she then realized was an entire blog entry waiting to happen, was from Motherscribe. Check out her Hot Tip List for Managing the BlogHer Conference, and send her some Blog Love!

You are taking me right? Right? Um. Please?
I SOOOOOOOO wish I was going! Pouty face. I’m game for next year!
Maybe I will go next year? Who knows! Oh man I gotta read your book!
Hey Hot White Trash Mama, Tacky Princess, generous giver of Linkage!
Thanks so much for the mention.
You will definitely see me there. I’ll be the one trembling in my fishnets. Actually, I’ll probably leave the fishnets at home… I’m getting very excited.
Love your tag line: Faking it for the bake sale…
I do appreciate you popping by my blog. I’ve enjoyed hopping around YOUR blog. I’ll be adding you to my reads in my sidebar.
We’re going to have fun!!
Looking forward to meeting you in SF
Just to be clear: BlogHer isn’t hosting anything else during the Newbie Mixer…there isn’t a Newbie Mixer and an Old-Timers Mixer. We normally don’t host a party at all the night before, but decided to do this one this year. See you there!
I have to admit, I was a bit apprehensive about the Newbie Party as well. But I realised it’s not meant to keep us away, but to get us a chance to meet others in the same boat. Between that and the People’s Party, the first night is going to rock!
