Someone is going to BlogHer 2009. Oh yeah, it’s me!
I attended BlogHer in 2007 with Kate Harding and we had a great time. My favorite experience? Stumbling out of Penelope Trunk’s session, which was a total whirlwind, and stumbling upon a group of mommybloggers who were seated in a circle. All of them were breastfeeding — or at the very least, a majority of them were breastfeeding and the rest were holding babies and talking about breastfeeding.
I’m not comfortable around that weird, crunch granola vibe. My uterus cramped and my breasts ached. I wanted to yell, “Why aren’t you women using formula and bisphenol A baby bottles?”
This year, I’ll steer clear of the circle of breastmilk and I’ll spend some quality time with Average Jane and Neil Kramer.
Will you be there? Let me know!

I’m going! I registered just after Christmas
. Hope to see you there! (And I’m a mom with a blog, but in so many ways I’m NOT a “mommyblogger.”)
Florinda, I can’t wait to mee you in person. This is going to be so much fun!
By mee, I mean meet.
Going to BlogHer is a goal for me; certainly not this year, but hopefully in the not too distant future.
I would have freaked at the Circle of Lactation too. I mean, I have zero problem with breastfeeding, but I have definite issues about how and where it ought to be done (in my mind at least.) In a circle with a bunch of other women is not one of those places. I would have been right there with you trying to ask the Sensible Questions. (WTH are you doing? is a sensible question, right?)
