Incredible. Overwhelming. Mind bending. The first day at BlogHer ’09 blew my mind. I have had my horizons expanded and I do believe there is no turning back. The sessions have been really strong, with great panels, and thoughtful, respectful debate. The keynotes left me wiping mascara from my cheeks and so incredibly proud to be a part of this creative community of women writers. I am surprised at how intense this experience is for me. After the keynote I felt like I needed to clear my head, so Jennifer and I went out to Big Bowl for an incredible Thai meal.

Looking at the lantern lights at Big BowlAfter dinner, we returned, ready to get our party on. These ladies know how to have a good time, as you can see by this shot of Julie, Caitlyn and I wearing tiaras at the “Mommy Needs a Cocktail” party. There were also many drunken tweets and a very odd unicorn cake.  I added another 50 blog cards to my collection of sites to check out, and had some rather personal conversations that may or may not have involved me giving women I have just met underwear.  Yeah, it’s that kind of conference.  Bring on Day 2!
