I love it!

Especially the part of BlogHer is not fight club.

Last year I was so nervous to go up and talk to people. Bloggers don’t have super powers! Plus every one loves to hear that you like their writing.

Hope to meet you at BlogHer!

Like your post, very helpful for me… going for the first time and sitting on a panel… I know no-one so I will be the person looking to crash any cliques Seriously though – always looking for tips on how to best connect with folks including in some smaller groups to really get to connect fully.

I’m going to be the one who at least is wearing comfy clothes! I made a decision as I’ve been agonizing about not looking “pretty” or “sophisticated” enough that hey wait – I’ve never been “pretty” or “sophisticated” so maybe I should just dress like I do every day and just be me. So I’ll be the one who’s a little underdressed at the cocktail party, and I will be looking very carefully for other underdressed folks to talk to!

I tend to be good at “making the first move” as it were. It’s knowing what to do after that that gets me tripped up… I hope I get to run into you at the convention!

This is my first BlogHer and I’m fluctuating between information underload and overload.

“3) Dress like you would any other day of the week.”

Thanks for this tip. I’m wearing my blogging clothes – sleep pants and bunny slippers.

I’m just not going to be wearing any clothes. So if I drag your ass out then it’ll be in the nude. That’s how Chicago rolls.

The ONE year that I’m actually bringing a child, I’m not bringing a babysitter. Am I doing something wrong? I think I’m doing something wrong.

Have fun! And man, if you are in Philly let me know where and when and I will stalk you, and by that I mean, happily buy you a drink! (and me one as well!)
