It’s a Whirlwind!

July 24, 2009 by Elaine

So far this trip to BlogHer has been head-spinningly crazy. We got in later than expected last night after riding the shuttle “from Hades” to the hotel (don’t get me started…) and after waiting an hour for our luggage. Oy. The parties were a tad crazy and the mob for swag, well I won’t go there…

But despite all that, the night was still great. We went to the Navy Pier for dinner and here are few shots from my first night in Chicago and some of the amazing ladies I already had the opportunity to meet and most importantly, hug the stuffing outta. (And let’s face it, that’s the main reason I’m here…) This is short and sweet but, it’s a post and I’m doing good to get that up. Wish you ALL were here! : )
