    I'm Going to BlogHer '09
    Blogher 2009. doodaloo doodaloo doodaloo

    Me: (drunk mostly from freedom and perhaps a glass or two of pinot grigio) Heeyyy bloggy BFF! OMG howaryoooo! I think you har the most hilllarious blogger and remember that comment you made on my blog poth? and remember that other poth? and member all your mememes and and and (hyperventilating)

    Innocent Blogher Bystandard: I’m sorry, do I know you?

    Me: HAHAHAHA. Whohohoh. Youze so hilarious. I’m Ann! Y’know..AHNN! Well (guffaw) you may know me as Rantzzzss (gleek).

    Innocent Blogher Bystandard: Oops, sorry. My mistake…I saw your “Ann” nametag and assumed you were Anna Lefler. But she’s blond and has a fancier mustache–although yours’ is coming along quite nicely. I’m off to that fabulous “Dying is Hard, Comedy is Harder workshop” They’re expecting me.

    Me: (belch) Wait up, girlfreyn! (hobbling with white tights around knees) are you Shlumpadinka?

    IBB
    : I thoughtfully planned this outfit, please don’t throw that Oprah slang at me.

    Me: So yerr not Shlumpadinka from New York?

    IBB: Do you mean Marinka? Everyone knows Marinka wears an up-do and a burka.

    Me: Okeedokeez. Thanks Shlumpadinka. You toality rock. Wanna partner for the tatoe-sack race (hic)?

    1. If i wasn’t coming before I am now, only to SEE this damned scene :)))

      Oh, and I totally wanna see Marinka in an updo and burkah. Oh baby yeah.

    2. sigh… I soooooooooooooo wish I could go, but alas I am broke.

      I am willing to take up donations for my flight room and board!

      PS.. you should drunk blog more often 😉

    3. Dirty martinis are your friend. 🙂 That was the most hilarious post I’ve read in weeks!

      And, HEY EVERYBODY (yeah, that was in a Fat Albert voice): I’ll be the drunken bitch giggling hysterically, crawling on the floor three steps behind Rantzzzz at BlogHer. (Maybe I’ll bring my Amy Winehouse wig to really get my crazy on!)

    4. Sure wish I could afford to go! For 2 reasons: to see if that scenario really happens (and I’m sure it will with somebody!) and to see what Marinka looks like!
      Maybe next year when I don’t have tuition to pay for!

    5. Lilly, I (and all the other 999 attendees) would love to meet you.

      Braja, C’mon over and you’re welcome. I’m counting on you to round-house the spambots.

      Janie, sing it sistah!

      Bella, Don’t worry–there won’t be any kids there.

      Michelle, Do come!

      Dizz, I know its a lot of dough to spend, even without airfare.

      Amy, you crack me up. HEY HEY HEY!

      Ryan Somebody (you are!), yup. Its laser time.

      Joanie, You need a get away girl. Throw caution to the wind.

    6. I should be doing important things like feeding the cats but instead I’m laughing over your post. If this is really what Blogher ’09 is going to be like, sign me up. Can I bring the cats?

    7. I’m going! Hurray. I’d loved to be saved from my own awkward moments by someone slurring and tripping over tights.

      Kidding, looking forward to meeting you!

    8. I totally want to go, but money and my shyness might be a factor. In which case I would drink too much and become THAT blogger who threw up on your shoes while professing my love for your blog. I don’t want to be THAT blogger.

    9. Coffee Cathy, I have no idea what Blogher will be like, but considering how many awesome bloggers plan to attend, its almost irrelevant.

      Jenny, Oh-Kay!!

      WA, How will we learn anything with all the side-conversations going on??

      Pearl, Considering you day was only half-over I take that as a huge compliment 😉

      Anymommy, YEAY! Can’t wait to meet you. I think moms let loose are almost as bad as girls gone wild (but not quite as slutty)

      Michele, That is a hard one, but I bet a lot of bloggers would love to meet you. Like, Me!

      Janna, I want you to be THAT blogger, so I’m not the only one 🙂

    10. I arrived via your comment on bejewell’s site and I am SO glad I did – you’re hysterical! Also, I’m nowhere near as nervous about BlogHer as I was before I read this. Now at least I know that there’ll be something fun to watch while I try to blend into the wallpaper.

    11. Hey, Lady!

      Thanks for the righteous shout-out! *wipes spit from eyeball*

      We are so gonna PAR-TAY!!!!

      Or, you know, order room service hot wings and watch Lifetime Television for Women.

      I’m cool either way.

      XOXO

      Anna

    12. I’m so losing my mind laughing over here! That would be the funniest thing ever!!

      Perhaps I will join you all next year. I’ll be the woman with the colorful socks!

    13. bwaaaahhhh! That sounds like about how I’d be celebrating. I’m a total Anna and Ann acolyte (sounds like a good Facebook group). Actually I should start a Facebook group to peer pressure both of you into writing funny books so I can’t read them and snort Pino Grigio through my elegant nose.
