oh yes this very definitely captures “conference life” as we all know it but have just never found the words for!
Perfectly captured Christine!
Unfortunately as BlogHer is promoted each year I DO resent how far away Australia is! I would give several arms and legs to attend it. So i hope you enjoyed it for all of us who couldn’t!

I’m finally home now (wow those flight delays were rough) and back to work on my tech projects. Your album, “Right Outta Nowhere” is on repeat and keeping the weekend alive for me. You brought me to tears on Friday night with your line, “And all you need to know is that you’re free to go.” It summed up my whole impulsive BlogHer trip, my independent business insanity, and just about everything else in my life.

Thank you so much for the concert. It was magical.

Hi Christine,

First, I didn’t know you or your music before Blogher and hearing you play the songs you did made me run up and buy a CD. So regardless of the cocktail stages of conference life, you definitely “own” the stage.

And second, the way I handled blogher for the first time was to pre-decide I was going to feel awkward since I was a first timer. That saved a lot of time, and I could get over it quicker. I’m sorry we didn’t get to chat much beyond the CD exchange, but I wish you the best – the music is great!

you just described my experience at last year’s blogher, perhaps next year I will reach stage 3. Oh how I would have loved to seen you play at this year’s blogher where I would have SO set my drink down to come hang out with you and soak up some of your fabulousness. xoxo

Regarding Blogher -

As a first timer and a new blogger, I also felt like I should not even ask a question because I did not know “blog-speak.” (Unfortunately, it did not prevent me from making a fool of myself a couple of times until I learned to shut up)

I went to two of the techical groups and the whole thing, for the most part, went WOOOOSH right over my head. How did these women get so smart? Is it possible to catch up – even a little?

But, overall, if you were honest at Blogher and let people know how newbie you were, I found the women there incredibly supportive and encouraging – to just be patient and don’t try to gobble it up all at once.

Christine, your performance was spectacular. You reach out and touch someone. And everyone.

Wrote about you on my blog today. Hope it gets a few people out in Chicago in October.

Hey, since we all admire Christine, let’s join to promote her in our home towns when she is nearby. I would be a favor to our friends.

Lovely gift of a drawing this morning. Elizabeth Perry of Woolgathering captured Christine just before her concert:

ghassan – last night, the poor man holding the tray started laughing at me because he was waiting for me to decide what exactly he was carrying!

hi deb – then we should all just stand up and mingle together as perpetual stage-2′ers! thanks for your honesty…
