BlogHer or Bust

I'm leaving out for the windy city today around 5:30 and managed to score a direct flight from Roanoke. This means it will take a little over an hour to get there.yeahhh

I'll be sharing a room with Krissie and Fatbridesmaid Miranda! 5k on Friday morning, followed with a day of conferences, saturday is chicago visiting and sunday I'll be flying back. I have to admit, I've been in the sand about this whole blogher thing. I heard about it, and thought "oh, i should go", bought a ticket, got a plane ticket and that has pretty much been my involvement with thisactivity . I had no idea who would actually be there until two days ago and never thought that I may know anyone via the blogging community. I still don't know if I do or will.

What should i expect? When I tell people in my everyday life that I'm going to a "blogging convention" I get a similar look (what I would imagine) if I said I was going to a star trek convention. When you spend a chunk of your life involved in something other than work, sleep, eating, socializing etc. it kind of puts you in another category of people.  Like putting miniature ships into a bottle, learning to speed talk, training for a triathlon, or raising sheep dogs.

I've looked this week into common BlogHer worries and they are all similar: what to wear, what to do, will anyone like me, how do i talk to people? And realized that if we are all worried about the same thing then I have nothing to worry about.

I just wonder: is there a group for weight loss bloggers? Am I in this group? How will I know where to go? Are there people reading my blog going to blogher?

OK off to finish getting ready, see you on Sunday with photos!
