Why the BlogHer Conference Sucks
... cross posted from our sister site, NJ Moms Blog.
Because I'm not going to BlogHer, that's why! My head will explode if I have to read how awesome it will be - ONE. MORE. TIME. It seems every time I fire up Feedly I'm reading about shopping for BlogHer, road trips to BlogHer, parties at BlogHer, or the sessions at BlogHer. I just may vomit. Of course if I were going it would be a completely different story (I would be rockin' a new pair of shoes for sure), but I'm not going. I can't go. I have two kids, and one of them is breastfeeding. I barely get to leave the house alone to grocery shop, let alone jump in a plane (or a hybrid car) to go to the other coast for a few days and hob-nob with women I've only read about. Instead, I will be sitting at home, attending BlogHer in Second Life, hoping like hell the stream hold up, and drinking wine, all while in my mismatched pajamas. No after-parties, no female bonding, no blogging enlightenment. Nothing.
