Pampering AND a Wealth of Information in one place.

I'm getting my bliss on!

I won the ticket to the Blissdom '11 Conference in Nashville!! Huge, humongous, "gimantic" THANKS to Angela England for this Give-Away. Angela will be speaking at the conference. She is a speaker and a writer with with an excellent blog about writing, blogging and social media. She also writes on many other sites, including a very helpful community site she started, The Untrained Housewife.

Tom and I took a long weekend jaunt to Nashville last year so I could attend the conference. It was incredible. The venue was outrageous - Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Conference Center. The entertainment was great, the sessions were great, the workshops were great. (Links are below to some sessions I particularly enjoyed.)
-
Blissdom is pampering and sharing of knowledge, but also friendly people at the helm. Real people.

Enroute last year, I was tweeting the whole way with other bloggers also enroute. Alli Worthington asked who was arriving soon and I responded that I was. We've never met, mind you. She squealed via twitter and said she wanted to find me and hug me upon arrival. We didn't meet up (however, I ran into Robin Dance and Liz Strauss, who invited me to sit down and chat with them as if we're peers when they TOWER over me), but alas, no Alli.....
-
.... until maybe the third day in, I, wearing my VSliker name badge, flew into the ladies room between sessions. Two women were talking, one of which was Alli. I didn't want to interrupt, so I began to pass quietly. Alli stopped her conversation, told me she owed me a hug and then bear-hugged me. I was too stunned for words. She doesn't even know me, never met me, just remembered my name from twitter.
-
That's the kind of people at the helm and that's the kind of conference it is.
-
Sadly, I wasn't going to be able to go this year due to a lack of funding. But... now... with my free ticket.... I'm going! See you there?
