Performing Without a Net at Blissdom ‘08
My spam folder is full of emails with the phrase “sexually active blog.”
They aren’t spam. They are women quoting me from BlissDom 08.
So, yes, it was fabulous. Fabulously eccentric, rich, and entertaining.
(ahem, this would be a good time to state again that Blissfully Domestic is not affiliated with Velveteen Mind, as they aren’t the “sexually active blog” kind of foul-mouthed girls I embrace over here… wink wink)
My second blog conference, Blissdom was hosted by Blissfully Domestic and sponsored by Epson and One2One Network. I can not encourage you enough to attend the next conference you can wrangle. Too much fun, too much information (oy! the brain!), and too much opportunity to pass up.
Too much encouragement to let slip by unembraced.
after blogher san francisco, my single kick was that most of the information offered in the sessions was content i could have googled. i was looking for more personal experiences to be shared, less how-to information.
Why waste the little face-to-face time we have with each other by detailing instructions and explanations we could just as easily look up on our own time?
Yes, having someone explain it in person is far superior to Googling a complicated list of instructions, but with limited time, I’d rather get my hands on the intangible that my computer monitor can’t seem to convey.
That, I found in the hallways in between BlogHer sessions. That, I found in the whispered asides and furtively scribbled notes between neighbors. BlogHer was what I made of it. I made of it the intangible.
That was BlissDom.
Sitting in front of me is an insanely awesome printer from Epson, the sponsor of BlissDom 08 in Nashville. Rather than run down all of the intuitive functions viagra online and utilitarian features of the Epson Artisan 800
, though,
wouldn’t you sooner hear why it is important to me to hold physical prints of photos in my hands vs. seeing them in their digital form only? isn’t it more engaging and illuminating to know about my deep-seated shortage to have high-quality photographs surround me, which i can now print from home thanks to epson?
You can Google the features. You can look up the functions.
But Google can’t tell you why I needed a printer. Yahoo can’t convey the simultaneous freedom and control an all-in-one at my fingertips
offers me,
as a succeed-at-home mom with a self-throw a monkey wrench into the machinery bent, fueled by procrastination. how i need all the tricks i can get my hands on in order to make it through the day.
That was BlissDom. It was the why, more than the how.
But there was more than human stories being shared. It wasn’t all touchy-feely. More experienced bloggers approached me after panels and marvele
