Please Hold...and Shoe Porn

It’s that special time of year when I pack my bag, my laptop, my stack of business cards, and my sexy comfortable cute shoes, and head off to BlogHer’s annual conference.

Last year’s conference was in my own back yard, San Francisco. This year, I get to ride on an airplane all the way to Chicago. The last time I was in Chicago, it was the coldest winter they’d had in decades. I was there on business, just flying in to rent a car and drive to Joliet, where I spent a week in a motel that offered a delicious room service menu offering of chicken fried steak. Mmm, mmm, good. The driver’s side door of my rental car kept freezing shut. So, I had to climb in through the passenger side to kick it open. Fun times.

This time, I’m going to have more fun. Way more fun. Boat loads more fun. So much fun, I’m going to take pictures of the fun and post them right here for y’all to see. I’ve already started taking pictures of some of the fun. See, it’s my personal project to take pictures of all the sexy, cute, comfy, and downright adorable shoes that make there way to BlogHer. Then, I collect them all into a Flickr Group called BlogHer Shoe Porn. Here’s what’s been uploaded into this year’s group, so far:

If you’re going to BlogHer ‘09, you can upload your shoes to the photo pool by clicking here.

One thing I won’t be doing much of while I’m at BlogHer ‘09,
ironically, is blogging. No time. I will be microblogging—Twitter and
Tumblr, mostly, maybe a little Facebook. Otherwise, I’ll “see” you when
I get back. No wild parties while I’m gone! That’s my job.

Um, you're forgetting to pack something VERY important - ME! I know I'd never join the ranks of the Bloggess's since I've so poorly neglected my own little piece of the internetz but maybe you could print me out and put me in your pocket? That would be hella awesome to hang out with you and all the other cool chicas, even if I can't actually see anything... Oh, and just a FYI, I will totally be drooling over the shoe porn so keep em coming! Have fun! =)

Everybody needs a pocket O'neal, and The Bloggess and I totally talked about tourettes...also vibrators. Big loves to you.

It was great to meet you this weekend! Thank you for being both friendly and kind enough to introduce yourself; it definitely took the edge off of the first conference jitters.

I look forward to reading you!

Hey, you made the intro so darn easy with that ice breaker. ;-)
