Aloha Friday: Why I Wish I Was Going To #BlogHer12
In under two weeks’ time, BlogHer 2012 will begin. I really wish I could go. I went way back in 2010 and had a blast. I met so many great people, connected with interesting companies, learned a lot of new things, and – let’s face it – left with some really cool swag. Sadly, I can’t make it this year. My schedule and finances simply do not allow it. Of course, this year BlogHer is back in New York City which means it’s a tantalizing three hours away.
Of course, while the swag was cool, I don’t need more miscellaneous stuff. And the sessions and company connections, while intriguing, aren’t a big enough draw for me. What I really miss is the opportunity to see some online friends who I’ve never met in person. In particular, I’d love to meet Anissa Mayhew and JC Little (aka LittleAnimation).
My Aloha Friday question for today is: If you went to a blogging conference and could meet any blogger or anyone active on social media, who would you meet?
P.S. If you haven’t already, try out my Twitter applications: FollowerHQ and Rout.
Thanks to Kailani at An Island Life for starting this fun for Friday. Please be sure to head over to her blog to say hello and sign the linky there if you are participating.
Aloha #148
I have never been but wish I could attend the Book Expo, but with my disability and physical limitations it would be very difficult for me.

I’ve been going to BlogHer since 2010. It’s not easy financially, but I try to pay for it a little at a time. This year I’m bringing my youngest daughter. It’s her grad gift and I’m so excited to spend time with her. I would like to meet Dumb Mom, and Stacy Uncorked, and so many others.

I wish I could go… one year, maybe I’ll get there. I’ve never been. I’d love to meet several people, including Harriet & Mrs. 4444 from Half Past Kissin’ Time. Stacy from Stacy Uncorked would be fun to meet, too! 🙂
Hey, I went back on 2010, too! Too bad we didn’t run into each other back then. I haven’t been able to go since, but like you, I’d LOVE the opportunity again 🙂
There are so many bloggers I’d love to meet I couldn’t possibly name just one!
Have a great weekend!
There are several bloggers I would love to meet… Tammy’s Two Cents, Simply Stacie, and so many more!!

I’m not going so much for meeting other bloggers as much as the networking and seeing the city.
Have a great weekend!
