Roll Call
I’m a titty bit drunk here – but that’s how ya’ll like me best anyway.
I’m sincere when I say that all ya’ll who are going to BlogHer for the first time (or the 2nd or 3rd or 4th) – we totes want you to have a GREAT time.
For my money, the best way to have a GREAT time at BlogHer is to work via the buddy system.
In order to work the buddy system, ya gotta know where to find your buddies – so – in the comments – answer the following -
How do we know you – blogname/twitter@ whatever. (get used to introducing yourself as your twittername – I still feel like a doof saying “Dawn-Kaiser Mommy … or Kaiser Alex … or Alex to @amyinohio and @herbadmother
when and where are you flying in
start with that and lets work on people getting the buddy system rollin now -
Example – @texas_red and @amazinggreis are on the same flight – they will wait around for me to get in at ORD and then we will transport downtown.

Hi, I’m Nikki from The Guilty Parent & @Nikki_S on Twitter. I have no clue when I’m flying in – the sponsor will be telling me soon I hope. But I’ll likely be coming in from O’Hare in the afternoon. I’ll be coming over from the People’s Party. Hopefully I won’t get lost or be totally drunk by then so you all can all enjoy my rambling before it goes incoherent! Cause that happens when I get nervous and am thrust into a crowd where I don’t have to watch children or be the good wife and nod and smile.

I’m bring the train into the city from NW Indiana on Thursday! I’m staying with @cassieaiden and due to the bun in the oven, I will be the “Designated Walker”, able to assist people back to their rooms. As long as it’s before 9. Cause I’ll be tired.
You know me as @nataliejanette but I cut my hair, so I won’t look like my picture. I should change that, hm?

I’m a BlogHer virgin but blogged about it last year from afar and vowed I’d make it this year. I blog at womensissues.about.com — look for me on twitter @womensissues — want to connect with others to spotlight their blogs on mine, especially interesting niche blogs. I’m easy to recognize (and the photo on my site will provide visual guidance) — think Margaret Cho, but Japanese-American instead (my hair’s longer now)…

I’m AmyinOHio on twitter and everywhere, except Skype where I’m therealamyinohio (don’t ask, I’m bitter).
I’m driving up with Shannan B, Jennifer, Lu and Andi. I’m thinking we’ll be a cross between Thelma & Louise and National Lampoon’s Vacation (and Chicago BEST be open y’all). GM has graciously given us one of the carpool rides…
SUCKERS!

On my blog I go by the girls’ moma, Twitter @thegirlsmoma, and my name is Lisa. Surprisingly I have two daughters (who are not attending Blogher!)… hence the name.
I’m driving into Chicago on Thursday, and I can’t wait! A Blogher newbie, I’ll be the one looking around at everyone and waiting for someone to catch my eye and smile! I’m not staying at the Sheraton as I have a “plus one” to attend parties with and drive me elsewhere!
Ahhh! I can’t wait!

I’m commuting to BlogHer from the lovely suburbs of Chicago. I’m @mstaz1112 on titter and will only have my iPhone with me no laptop and the Lifetime pin on my lanyard. Also look for possibly the Disney Vacation Club Bag for all my crap since I don’t have a room (SOB)
You can call me Jen, Jeni, Jennifer, I usually don’t respond to any of them, I have short hair, part of which is usally pulled back since I’m growing out a bad asymentrical cut.
