At this point in time I can do nothing but briefly spit out random details of my latest trip to the BlogHer blog conference in NYC.
A room full of bloggers + a live web address from President Obama = best beginning of a conference ever.
One busted laptop + impromptu trip to Apple store = all data lost.
Biggest blog conference in the country + lack of computer on which to blog = fucking irony.
A session on Blogging For the Love Of It + Alexandra Rosas = excellent discussion.
Cocktails + old college friends = not enough time.
Sponsored lunch + stories of violence against women = unexpected anxiety attack in hotel room.
Lisa Stone as interviewer + Katie Couric = brilliance.
Breast pump + several times a day = raw nips.
Alcohol + glow sticks and unicorns = pretty good time.
Alcohol + no husband around for days = brief moment of weakness:
Poking Jenny On The Spot + saying, “I love you.” + running away = awkward.
Me + parties with hundreds of people = wall merging.
NYC sidewalks + 95 degrees = steamy pee smell.
Taxi cab + illiteracy + first day “driving” = cab ride of death.
Twenty minutes + a borrowed lap top = this post.
Jenni’s heavy luggage + discovery of hotel scale = MacGuyver moment.
Had a lovely time chatting with my lovely fellow wall-merger. Hope I didn’t snore.

Fifty pounds, exactly! Thanks for that stroke of genius. You’re an awesome roommate.
PS- you totally snore.
Sounds like an awesome time! Except for death of laptop.

Uh, Ms Chiu? I expect to hug your wall-hugging ass at BlogHer13 in Chicago. Just so you know. I am all about Team Awkward.
Katie recently posted..thoughts on going back to school
Deal.
Yup, that pretty much sums things up for me too
Expect, my lap top didn’t break. I brought it but didn’t touch it the whole weekend. Does that make me lame?
Jen recently posted..My Mom Read What?!
I think that probably made you… engaged.
Who could resist Harry Potter? C’mon. That doesn’t count as a moment of weakness. It’s just good taste.
The pumping? Ow. Major props to you on that one.
I only did Pathfinder Day, but I made it to Obama’s address. I totally cried. Very moving to be in a room with that many excited women. And I was so inpired by what Lisa and Elisa and Drury created. Out of nothing. Amazing.

Loved seeing you multiple times =

(No dinner ever materialized on Saturday night)
Alexandra has said: all of us to be roomates in Chicago next year = YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed – not enough real talking time. I didn’t even get to make a s’more with you.
’twas wonderful meeting you . . . and I had no idea about the laptop, but that sucks. So very badly. Was this your first time to NYC? Because the steamy pee smell is evident at temperatures above 80 degrees.

Wish I could’ve chatted you and your lovely wife up a little more.
It was not my first time in NYC. I was expecting the warm piss smell, but still… slap in the face…
Well summed up my friend – esp the NY street smell.
