BlogHer '09

By the end of the month, I'll know where BlogHer '09 will be held. I plan on attending next year, so the polling caught my attention.

Alas, Denver and the lure of sleeping on Sarah's couch won't happen. The front runners are:
Portland
St Louis
Philadelphia
I haven't been to two of those places, so the odds are that it will be held someplace new and exciting to me.

What about you? If you're a BlogHer member, are you going?

If not, have you traveled to these locales? Tips for the traveler? If you live in one of these towns, what should a visitor see?

I'm trying to plan ahead. WAY ahead, lol...

I signed up for BlogHer but they said they were full? A don't call us, we'll call you? Was that just for running the ad or for the event? I would so dig going next year!!

I'm from MO and have spent lots of time in STL. Of course, you must go to The Arch, Eat at one of the fabulous Italian resturants on "The Hill", go to Ted Drewes for some frozen custard, visit the botanical gardens, the zoo and science center are free, if you have an urge to gamble there are casinos on both sides of the river. The possibilities are endless.

I don't know much about the other cities but if Blogher goes to STL you shouldn't ever be bored, and as a foodie you should never be hungry.

Grandy, if you signed up for having ads on your blog, keep trying. They'll periodically close it out-or if you did it early on, they may have waited to see if you'd stick to it. :)

MM, Thanks for the info. Silly me, I forgot that Ted Drewe's is in STL, and that place is on my list of places to try. I will check out The Arch, too. Honestly, I've been through Philly several times, but haven't actually done the tourist thing, so any of the three will be good. They'll definitely provide good blog fodder!

Wal Mart Your Zone $500.00 Gift Card Contest!

Note to new visitors-this contest has ended. Thank you. For several months now, I have participated in WalMart 's Beyond Eleven Moms, a collective of bloggers who partner with WalMart to give feedback on products already in stores and ideas about products that the company can offer in their stores. Last month, I was approached to help test out a new product line in the stores. Many retailers offer room decor for youngsters and college students, but affordable furniture, bedding and decor for teens was hard to find. Enter Your Zone ! We were sent a $500.00 WalMart gift card and given a mission: redo a bedroom whatever way you like within that amount for your teen. If you asked me to do it anywhere else, I think I could buy a bed and a dresser and be done. The whole point of Your Zone is that your teen can change things without breaking the bank. First up, let's find a bed! The beds the boys have are the bunk beds we bought at Ikea back when Chef graduated out of a crib.

Webmaster Alex speaks Anonymously

**Please note, this post was written in 2008, over 7 years ago.  This is not current, but remains to detail the DISboards bannings.** The other day, I wrote of my banning from the Disboards, a site I belonged to for six years. I was banned for participating in another site, as were approximately 35 others. The list will be posted further in this entry. If you skip this post because it doesn't mean anything except to the participants, I don't mind. This is mainly out there for the hundreds (over 7,500 now!**) of Google searches that have been directed to my blog since the bannings. Lord knows, anytime anyone asks a question on the Disboards, it'll be poofed faster than you can say "delete." Curiously, I received an anonymous comment that rambled on and on. It rather reminded me of Socrates, my older brother who has delusions of grandeur. When I first read the comment, I thought, "Oh goody, a moderator has come to call me a bully." Wanna re

Glad that I'm not "Guilty By Association" on this one

I thought I was done with the DISboards stuff, really I did. However, the hypocricy and racism displayed by Webmaster Pete and others on a memorial show is deplorable. Sadly, all it does is show that the man who died is the only one who has some scruples among the staff. I'm awaiting some You Tube links to the entire unedited podcast and then an edited link to just the racism portion. In the meantime, I'm posting the transcript of the 'tribute' to Bob. These were transcribed by a former DISer for me. Thanks. ************************************************************************************* Here is a link to the DIS' podcast page : http://www.wdwinfo.com/disney-podcast/ (note, the podcast in question has been removed from the web. It was on YouTube for a couple of days and viewed about 1000 times before being shut down) The following is a transcribed portion of the show that was especially upsetting to many. It began around the 1 hour & 3
