Other info...

Yeah, I totally want to go!
I was going to ask for a ticket, and tell you why I wanted to go, but I see that Erin from pupsickle.blogspot.com really wants to go, and she's super cool, so I think that you should send her.  And if you really want to, you can give me the second ticket.  But really, send Erin!

Nah, send CeCe.  She's amazing - working Mom of the cutest toddler EVER with another little one on the way, zookeeper, and witty to boot.  But yeah, if you've got that extra ticket to spare and it's burning a hole in your metaphorical pocket, you can always send both of us!  I'd love to meet everyone in person.

I want to go SO much!
Hi,

I'd love, love, love to go to BlogHer.  I'm currently a grad student in Alaska and I feel like blogging has brought me back to writing for myself for the first time in a long time.  Going to the conference would be the highlight of my summer.  Even if you don't pick me (and I know there are probably many more deserving people out there) it is wonderful to know that someone is giving away such a great opportunity.  Thanks!

Oh, geez, I'm a moron.  So, you're never going to pick me now.  That was me in the post before, Erin, and my blog is:

and my email is

erin@pupsickle.com

Please Send Her Not Me (This sounds like an altar call for missionaries at a a very happy church)

I'd actually like to enter someone else. Her name is Tracey and she's over at http://www.maypapers.blogspot.com/

This was my world a few short months ago: Shrieking, pleading, demanding, manipulating, insulting ("You are not a good mother. NOT EVER.") that goes up decibel by embarrassing decibel and requires navy seal combat training to negotiate and survive my way through toddlerhood - not to mention outtings to Target.

This was my world yesterday; as written on Tracey's blog:

"As I was basking in the afterglow of the Mother's Day posts, mouse in one hand, tissue in the other (and that's no lie, I can be so emotional) I came across a touching commentary of Mama's Day at The Wallpaper of My Mind. Ladies, there is an angel among us and I do believe her name is Misha. I implore you to go read her post. I promise you'll leave with goosebumps and a little perspective on the wonder of Motherhood. If you're not convinced by that post alone, just mill through her archives.

Somebody give that girl a halo."

She was writing about me (and I'm not entering myself so I am not to be accused of tooting my own horn, or blowing it out the other end as the case may be.)

I swear, if she doesn't deserve a ticket for that type of representation of all things good and holy about the blog world I don't know what does... but she is also a smart aleck, witty, an exceptional photographer/artist, (insert ongoing hyperbolic terms like 'she's to the blog worlder what  Angelina Jolie is to the children of the world'....but that may be pressing my credibility a tad)...  and again the point is I have never met her and she's already linked me like crazy, so I have nothing to gain or lose....

I just think she would add one classy element to any conference, let alone one about what she does pretty darn well.

I vote for Tracey, too - not that you are taking votes, but still...

I gave away a BlogHer pass on my blog, http://redstapler23.blogspot.com. My rules were that every comment counted as an entry. Izzy from www.izzymom.com won, and since my only other rule was that, if you won and were already going, you had to give the entry away, she passed it on to Elizabeth at http://table4five.blogspot.com

During that process, I got to "know" Tracey and love her blog. I know that she is DYING to go to BlogHer and that she lives in So Cal and can make the trip - because if she doesn't have other transport, she can carpool with me.

So in the spirit of all this love and fun, I nominate Tracey.

Wow MIsha,

I'm blown away. You were supposed to enter yourself! What else to say but thank you for your thoughfulness. Now you just made my day! I'm basking in the glow of virtual love.

Me, Me, Pick Me!

There is no real reason that you should give me the tickets. You don't know me. I don't know you. And I'm only here because I heard I could get some free stuff. So, I'm also kina shallow I guess.

But....I am a "her" and I do have a "blog". Plus, I'm currently on my period and it would really make my day if I won something.

SIncerely,

Mommy off the Record: http://www.mommyofftherecord.blogspot.com/

Send me to BlogHer
Hi there Clay!  I am a new mom and a new blogger, and I have a lot to learn in both areas, so I'd love to go to the BlogHer conference and rub elbows with Rachel and the "experts".  My pal Whitney and I started a site called RookieMoms.com for new moms wondering what the heck to do with their new baby (and their new selves!) -- we try to suggest fun, practical ideas every day.  We'd both really really like to attend.

Cheers!
