I was only ducking because I like hearing what other people have to say. :) And what a talkative group. Next time, we'll have to actually meet each other rather than spy each other from across the room. :)

This conference sounds like it was fun. Maybe I can attend another time. Imagine . . . a conference on blogging.

Hey, MR! Great to meet you in the flesh. And apologies if I taunted you with the Pigeon. But really, had the shoe (non-purse) been on the other foot, I'd've expected nothing less from you :-)

I wish we'd all had more time to talk, but it was allllll good, as they say.

It is so much fun to hear what you did after you left us! It was just wonderful to meet you and Mr. Bill. It sure was handy that he had that new toy to answer our IMDB questions. What a great weekend!

Nice recap Pam! Again, sorry to hear about the Th...

Nice recap Pam! Again, sorry to hear about the Threadless debacle!

So nice to know you two will be in Portland! Lookin' forward to next year already :)

The Angels photo with you, Jules and Eisha is just awesome. I'm so sad to have missed this conference, but so glad you all had a great time. Hopefully next year...

Love that Charlies Angels Pose! Hope you enjoy the chicken chucker and other goodies from the gift bag!

Great meeting you!

2007-10-09T22:08:02.252-04:00

I just realized that everyone can share in the joy that is the shoe purse! There was a photo at Mitali's blog!

Ah, I wish I had bought boatloads of that purse when I had the chance. The money I could have made on resale.

Like everyone else, I'm so glad that I had actuall...

2007-10-09T22:02:48.556-04:00

Like everyone else, I'm so glad that I had actually seen the shoe purse before reading this post.

It was great meeting you. I feel like we've known each other for years now, and Mheir and I will look forward to hanging out with you and Bill again at next year's conference.

I love the mental image of the security guard with your AWESOME shoe bag! Did he strut a little? :-)

2007-10-09T20:49:24.674-04:00

My heart stopped a little when I thought you might have lost the cute shoe purse for good, because that is one awesome purse.

Isn't it amazing, too, that it didn't get stolen in five seconds flat in that bathroom? Stories like this keep one hopeful. :)

Only you could have convinced that security guard,...

2007-10-09T20:13:11.286-04:00

Only you could have convinced that security guard, MR, only you.

Love that Angels picture! I almost think you three need to pick a crime book to review so you can use that picture again.

Great to see you again. But let's not wait to fly halfway across the country to see each other, okay?

2007-10-09T19:58:31.502-04:00

No, no, I did get the shoe purse back. I just had to convince the security guard to go to the women's restroom and get it. Fortunately, I'm very persuasive.

And thanks Anne and Eisha for mentioning how funny I am in person. Like, how long was I going to have to wait and read through all these different blog posts before someone mentioned how particularly funny and cool I was. Sheesh. ;^)

2007-10-09T16:11:06.850-04:00

Great to meet you & Bill in Chicago! And to hear YOUR "meet-cute" story too. Good thing he was persistent! Can't wait to see you two next year -- and I wish you had a picture of the security guard with your purse!!

2007-10-09T15:40:43.642-04:00

I am so sad to have missed all this! You did a great wrap up here and I am really delighted to hear all about it. It sounds wonderful!

2007-10-09T15:30:39.958-04:00

You lost that wonderful shoe/purse? How awful. I hope you can get another. I meant to praise you fawningly over it.

Sorry the Threadless trip didn't go as planned. I kinda wondered after I got home and Googled "Threadless" and then saw the announcement of their retail store ... on Broadway.

Glad you had fun at the conference though. I loved meeting you. You're EXACTLY like your blog -- hilarious and smart and extroverted. Never a dull moment around MotherReader, that's for sure.

And of course your husband is such a sweetie. And so handsome! Next time, we have to get all the spouses together so they can compare equipment. No, wait, er, that's not what I meant ... oh, never mind. *blush*

2007-10-09T12:57:54.319-04:00

I'm glad we finally got to gab over dinner. You're just as funny in person as I thought you would be. But sitting between you and Adrienne gave me serious purse envy issues.

Great post. And photos.

2007-10-09T12:48:10.688-04:00

Great post. And photos.

Great post, Mo Reader! (You're right, I'll never forget that now).
It's very funny that Bill bought an iphone on Saturday... I think I saw the idea being planted when he was drooling over Barry's iphone Friday night.

I really wanted to win the Pigeon bag too (and shirt!) but alas. Tricia of the Miss Rumphius Effect told me where she got hers:

Thanks for the roundup, MR! I enjoyed hearing all about the conference.
