It's no understatement to say (and if you've been reading the past few days, I'm sure you'll find this just completely shocking) that I fell just a teensy bit in love with San Diego and with California in the five days I was there. And as I got ready to leave, something just clicked.Actually, a few things clicked. I remembered how much I really love big cities, and felt my nomadic spirit bubbling back up to the surface. I remembered my need for new adventures and new places and how much I love the stories that happen and figuring out how to tell them. And of course, I thought about this blog. A lot. And so?
I'm going back to San Diego -- for BlogHer 2011!
Though Noah will be a month into his new adventure in San Francisco by then, I've got a place to stay and I'm already brainstorming (and putting the gears in motion) on a music blogger meet-up, something I found lacking in the conference last year. And though I must admit that when I first booked my conference pass I was more excited about getting back to the beach, as I read more about the sessions and speakers and RSVP for meet-ups and parties, I am becoming ridiculously excited about this opportunity. About the networking, and the learning, and the investment I'm making in this blog and myself. About being back amongst some seriously awesome women.
I remember how envigorated I felt last year after BlogHer, and I am so looking forward to latching on to that fire again. I'm planning some exciting things here on Just A Girl that I've been meaning to do for a while; having BlogHer as a deadline is kicking my ass into gear. I don't want to give away too much right now, but you'll be seeing some shiny new stuff in the coming weeks, and hopefully some changes that will make the blog more interactive and easier to navigate.
And naturally, I promise to get into some really ridiculous situations while I'm there, and bring them all back to you here.
(I know that's all you wanted to know anyway. It's okay.)
cheers,
elizabeth
