There are Dinosaurs at Metrotown Mall
And sand…and the dinos roared…ooooh.
Ahem.
There are apparently quite a few photos from the awesome #bloghervancity PreBlogHer meetup arranged by the hotnsaucy Mr. Lady of Whiskey in my Sippy Cup….but I haven’t seen any NOR did I take any…am lame that way.
How come I can chat with almost total strangers BUT feel weird about taking their photos??
Maybe I would have been better with the new camera that we picked up last night….a Lumix by Panasonic. Can’t wait to figure it out.
It was at the Hastings location of Caffe Artigiano, which put together a bang up spread. Holy yummy sandwiches.
Thanks to the meetup, I now have even MORE blogs to add to my links instead of just on my bookmarks.
Wow, Vancouver has a LOT of awesome women and mom bloggers.
In the last couple of months I have attended a few different meeting and get togethers of the social media type and met new people at every one….there are a lot of women in the Lower Mainland who are fully tuned in to social media like blogging, twittering and facebook.
The estrogen levels were soaring.
I think there was four of us preggo moms there. There was also babies…..yummy babies.
I hope the already moms didn’t scare the newbie moms to be too much ! Heh.
I am not sure how much about BlogHer was actually discussed. Mr. Lady and Dutch Blitz are BlogHer Con pro’s….and for BlogHer newbies..they are the one’s to hang out with there…they know all the ‘FAMOUS’ bloggers that attend. They can get you in with the ‘in crowd.’
I think that is the biggest lesson about the con. You need plan BEFORE hand. You need to prearrange hanging with buddies. Otherwise it can get seriously overwhelming if you have any REMOTE social anxiety issues.
I am forever grateful for the women who DID take me in under their wings….it was awesome. But yeah…can be scary.
I have only been once. I would love to go again..but budgets and location will always be key to this decision.
Chicago is a bit far.
I am still gunning for our very own conference. Vancouver and really….all of BC has SOOO many freaking women bloggers. It is amazing.
My bookmarks are exploding.
Twitter has me finding more and more and all are nice and smart and good writers……how humbling.
Guess I need to write and post more!
Need to attract the attention of real Canadian sponsorship and all that.
Put on my PR/Marketing hat.
The hat will fit better once preggo brain is purged…I assure you. Hah.
I just attend my first Dallas area blogher meet up and it was amazing. How are you doing with little more then a month left in your pregnancy?

It was great to meet you in person yesterday.
And I find the photo thing awkward, too. Especially now that the photos are going on the internet for everyone to see. Now you’re really asking to use somebody’s image in a public way, and while I’m cool with that not everyone is.

It was FAB to meet you yesterday. I took one photo of you and Chicklet but thats it. I’m a rubbish photographer (both in the taking and the remembering to take) but I hate when there aren’t records of things.
A west coast conference would be amazing! See you Monday night!
Emilys last blog post..Blessed.
It sounds like great fun! I’m the same way with pictures!!!
I hope all is well with you. Take care.
It was so nice to (briefly)chat with you. I would have loved to had a chance to chat a bit more, but it will happen, in the future, for sure.
Looking forward to getting to know you a bit better.
It was so good to meet you! But I had to laugh a little, for:
1. I am hardly a pro, and
2. I hardly know any “famous” bloggers.
I treat everyone the same, and only hope that people will do the same in return.
If we can get a Vancouver conference I AM SO THERE.
xoxo
