BlogHer
Last weekend was jam-packed with fun adventures of the unexpected kind, chief among them being my attendance at BlogHer on Saturday. Byrne's company, one of the conference sponsors, had an extra pass, so while officially I was one Mr. Andy Wibbels for the day, I can now announce that Ms. Arin Hailey had a grand time.
What a treat it was to meet and greet so many women whose blogs I've read for years. The introverted dork in me worried about feeling starstruck and/or tongue-tied around such gifted and accomplished writers, but the "Yay! Ladies!" atmosphere of the whole shebang almost makes you want to go up to everyone there and ask them for a hug and a tampon.
Now I can say that the women I met are not only chock full of talent but also have superior outfits and footwear and are utterly charming. Do go check them out (but surely you already have, right?):
