Crashing the BLOGHERNOT '08 Party

I just went to the most amazing party. It's BlogHerNot 2008. I wasn't invited. I totally crashed it. And then I even stole the banner!!!

Apparently this weekend all the cool blogging women have gotten pedicures, abandoned their children, packed their stiletto heels and jetted off to San Francisco to get drunk network with all the other cool blogging women at BlogHer '08. As is typical with anything cool, I didn't hear about it. I will probably go in the future...the year AFTER it becomes as cool as the faded plastic Santa on your lawn in February.

I'm not sure how I found BlogHerNot 2008, but I found it about an hour ago and it has changed my life!!! Before BHN08, I was feeling left out, ostracized by the pretty girls, the girls of the hundreds of comments, the girls who make money on their blogs instead of by getting cash back when they pay for groceries and pretending it was part of the cost of the food. I can't imagine anyone doing that, can you???

I'm sitting here in the sweatpants and Durham Bulls Baldelli t-shirt I slept in last night. I have black swaths of last night's leftover mascara under my eyes. My hair is sticking out in all directions. I'll spare you the photo. I'd rather you remember me thus:

My weekend plan was to eventually put the two empty laundry baskets on my living room floor back where they belong. Empty laundry baskets! How cool is that? Then tomorrow I was going to unfold my chair at a ballfield and sit for hours watching game after game after game. Do they REALLY need a loser's bracket? Couldn't they reward the loser parents by letting them go home? Then, because no one should be allowed to have so much fun in one weekend, I was going to drive my daughter and her friends to camp!

I'm still going to do all that, but now I will have a mission, a driving force...I will be BlogHerNotting! It's kind of counter-culture. It's a movement against the establishment before it even gets a chance to get established! I am such a rebel!

Yee hoo! So glad you found us and could join the party! Tomorrow night we'll all be drinking a collective toast to Bloggywood -- see you there!

So glad you found us! Crash away. The MORE the MERRIER!

Seriously...you could not have crashed a better, fiercer, more awesome group of women who combine wit, style, talent and the ability to balance a jello shot in one hand, cell phone in the other and carry on an intelligent conversation!

Thanks for stopping by Casa Barking Mad. Oh and more importantly, AGREEING with me about those bloody annoying word cerification things.

And if you ARE a bot, well then, you look smashing with pink hair!

Of course, that's not to take away from BlogherNot 2008 because I am going to check that out in a few minutes. Thanks for the link. But, if you are interested in the Blogher 08 in Greensboro, I think I might be going. It's not that far. I'll even drive, if you drive here :)

I like your cool, counter culture vibe.
