So Much Good Stuff at Blogher

by runeatrepeat on August 6, 2011

Oh my gosh today has been so super awesome I don’t even know where to begin! I fueled up for the day with oatmeal at the Blogher breakfast.IMG 6892 800x533 thumb So Much Good Stuff at Blogher

Then, I wandered the expo and made some friends wlEmoticon smile10 So Much Good Stuff at Blogher

And enjoyed some snacks wlEmoticon smile10 So Much Good Stuff at BlogherIMG 6908 800x600 thumb So Much Good Stuff at Blogher

The almond biscotti Balance Bar is dee-lish!IMG 6899 800x533 thumb So Much Good Stuff at Blogher

After a bit of walking around it was time for the main event = an interview with Bob Harper!!! I interviewed him on video so that will be coming soon.  Sneak preview: He is awesome.IMG 6902 800x533 thumb So Much Good Stuff at Blogher

After the interview I hit up the ‘bucks for an iced coffee. IMG 6906 600x800 thumb So Much Good Stuff at BlogherI paid for it with my Amex Prepaid card that I loaded with some money from MoneyPack right before leaving my hotel. I was worried it wouldn’t “update” on my card in enough time, but it was immediate! image thumb5 So Much Good Stuff at Blogher

Then, I went back to the expo and had 2 more amazing celebrity sightings!!! Ben always says I remind him of Clem from Reno 911 (aka Wendy Mclendon-Covey)! I got to meet her!She was super nice and fun in person – don’t you love that?! IMG 6910 800x533 thumb So Much Good Stuff at Blogher

And a famous red-head = Ronald wlEmoticon smile10 So Much Good Stuff at BlogherIMG 6912 800x533 thumb So Much Good Stuff at Blogher

I was able to resist yesterday, but the Dove ice cream bars lured me in today.IMG 6915 800x533 thumb So Much Good Stuff at Blogher

Luckily, I didn’t completely ruin my lunch (never really do, right?).

I’ve been to about three different blogging conferences now and have to say this one is massive compared to the rest. Blogher is an awesome beast.IMG 6922 800x533 thumb So Much Good Stuff at Blogher

Lunch!IMG 6925 800x533 thumb So Much Good Stuff at Blogher

The turkey looked like it was on white bread. The Italian sandwich looked like it was on wheat. So, I grabbed a turkey and an Italian sandwich and swapped out the bread.IMG 6929 800x533 thumb So Much Good Stuff at Blogher

And a table-mate just gave me some M&M’s! Because days as awesome as this require chocolate and new friends wlEmoticon smile10 So Much Good Stuff at Blogher

Wow, that expo looks awesome! I think part of the reason I want to do a race is for the expo, haha, but I think that it is hit or miss with some of them!

I’m looking forward to your interview with Bob. What was he promoting there? I’ll bet is wasn’t Dove or McDonalds. :) I looked for you but I guess we attended different sessions. Rats. Hope you had a good time.

I love that actress from Reno 911! I noticed that she was the new face of Hillshire Farms. :-)

Looks like so much fun! I wish I could make it to events like this.
