And then, I saw you on Twitter replying to someone else's post and I was "Tina Cruz! I need to follow her!"<br /><br />Wow. This post. I get this post. Totally. I usually feel this way at BlogHer, every year. I do my best to pull myself out of it and concentrate on the fun that I do end up having.<br /><br />I am writing my recap right now, actually. I wrote about one particular party where I was near tears and almost left. That was the People's Party. Sigh.<br /><br />SAd to hear you are giving up on BlogHer, but I understand. <br /><br />I am glad I got to meet you at your last one, though. :-)Cagey (Kelli Oliver George)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13691589813815058981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25170924.post-24967007868012380752011-08-11T12:47:56.179-07:002011-08-11T12:47:56.179-07:00Tina,

But your post puts me over the top. This was my 3rd BlogHer and I was thinking "third time's a charm" AND I went by myself. But there are many reasons why it worked for me so well this year, and I will tell you on my blog...as soon as I can see over the edge of this pile of papers...Kim Tracy Princehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756464765768499385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25170924.post-55407170815754630922011-08-11T00:04:27.575-07:002011-08-11T00:04:27.575-07:00I must have been a big help because I didn't r...I must have been a big help because I didn't recognize you. Gah! I'm so sorry! If it makes you feel any better, I never remember anyone. I see people and think "they look familiar" but it takes me a good ten minutes of talking to them to say OH IT"S YOU!<br /><br />I think everyone has moments at BlogHer feeling exactly how you describe here. I'm actually very shy and I have to force myself to go out of my room. It doesn't help that half the time I'm on pain meds too. I walk around in a fuzzy brained manner hoping I don't get lost somewhere in the hotel! : )<br /><br />I'm undecided on NY. I love the city, but the sessions don't usually tell me anything I don't already know.Twenty Four At Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16387384885579358908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25170924.post-55056302041740708252011-08-10T21:40:28.759-07:002011-08-10T21:40:28.759-07:00I've read this twice now and it really resonat...I've read this twice now and it really resonates. There's no lost like the lost with 3000 people lost.

I'm glad you said this - thanks.Florindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09789402061034734894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25170924.post-50793489767714634972011-08-09T20:05:09.996-07:002011-08-09T20:05:09.996-07:00I'm glad I saw you this year, though we weren&...I'm glad I saw you this year, though we weren't together as much as in years past. I guess my joining the DadCentric group meant several events and meetings off site during the dinner times and evenings, whereas I usually would hang out with you and a few of your peeps who couldn't come. <br /><br />In any event, I hope you reconsider later in the year. While I'm not certain right now I'll go back to NYC, I have a feeling I'll change my mind in the spring. <br /><br />Again, glad we got to spend some time together, even if the time change meant I wasn't able to stay up as long as I do on the east coast!Michael from dadcation.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09961356620989366475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25170924.post-35680158735795385792011-08-09T18:54:15.100-07:002011-08-09T18:54:15.100-07:00I, for one, really enjoyed your company and conver...I, for one, really enjoyed your company and conversation! Since this was my first BlogHer, I wasn't sure what to expect, and since I have a really hard time meeting new people and not completely putting my foot in my mouth and saying grossly inappropriate things to exactly the wrong person, I was a little nervous to arrive at these giant parties where I knew no one except my husband. I was pleasantly surprised by how nice people were, but especially grateful to you for your willingness to talk at length with a new person who found herself adrift as the rest of the group waited for their cocktails to kick in.<br /><br />I totally get wanting to take a break, but if I make it to NYC next year, I'll miss seeing you there.<br />:)Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09975544178527897390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25170924.post-40248544123584528882011-08-09T18:22:36.586-07:002011-08-09T18:22:36.586-07:00I wouldn't have made it without my wingman.

That's how I felt (somewhat) after New York. <br /><br />Not sure how I will feel after some time has passed, but I am (so far) planning on being at BlogHer next year as it's in my home town (NYC). <br /><br />And so what if your opinion is unpopular? You're entitled to have it. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25170924.post-5252781043768806352011-08-09T12:47:25.968-07:002011-08-09T12:47:25.968-07:00I imagine I would have felt much the same way.
