As the old saying goes,
"You know it's going to be a great trip when someone is rocking a Snuggie on the plane."

Not sure how I swam up from my Xanax stupor to think to take a picture, but...yay, me.
So. Chicago. BlogHer '09. Henceforth known as "Vodka-tea-palooza '09."
I had 8 "break-out sessions" earmarked for attendance over the weekend. I made it to 2. Barely.
The problem being the slacker-tastic discovery of "Chicago Burger" on the bottom level of the Sheraton, where me, my roommate
Lisalicious and
Tenakim took our waiter Manny's advice and tried some vodka teas.
You would be AMAZED how many free drinks you can get if you have Lisa's cleavage with you. I am taking her with me when I buy my next car.
Anyway, if you attend a blogging conference, here are my tips:
#1. Decorate the outside of your door
A. Dorm-esque wipeboard
B. Blog logo names
C. Stolen conference sign
#2. Definitely ride the Quaker Oatmeal smoothie-generator bike on the Expo floor
#3 Keep track of your bathtub gangsters or they WILL get in trouble
#4 When in doubt, ALWAYS choose cocktails with your girls over conference meetings.
#5 Go to the city's gay district Saturday night instead of the bowling party.
#6 Sunday morning erase all photos from Saturday night.
