So here I am at the Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan, plugged in to a power source provided complements of Chevy and feeling a little disoriented because in addition to the blogging mommies, the clown voices of the friends I saw after the show last night are still echoing in my head. I loved it when one of them said: The idea of a clown who is happy on the outside and sad on the inside is bullshit. People are happy when they are good at their work and clowns who know how to work an audience and get a laugh are happy people because they know they are good at what they do.
Sooooooo… anyway since I’m not compartmentalizing I will transition for no apparent reason to the BlogHer Conference and say that I came uptown right after I got up this morning and wandered around like Goldilocks in the Three Bears house. I found some conference room sessions and decided to taste them. First I tried PROFESSIONAL: Professional Blogging: Your Stats are a Business Asset. But, they wanted to funnel their site traffic into clients and customers. Then I followed the laughter to CHANGE AGENTS: Radical Blog Moms: Don’t Even Think About Not Taking These Moms Seriously. But they were so committed to making the world better I was intimidated. Then I tried PERSONAL: Where is the Line or the Lie: Storytelling, Memoir and Poetic License. And that room was just right… because they were funny and that’s what they wanted to be. So I stayed and listened until they were all done. The End.
