Getting to Know Shash: A BlogHer Primer
July 13, 2009
crossposted at blogher.com
Here are a few things to know about me that will help brighten our BlogHer experience in Chicago:
- I will probably hand you a business card, or High-five Poken you, or iPhone Bump you. I’m coming well armed with technology and stationery, and I’m not afraid to use them!
- My name is Shari (rhymes with sorry), my nickname is Shash (rhymes with posh), and I love you just that much more when you try to pronounce them correctly. Think of it as verbal foreplay. Rawr.
- There will be lots of hugging. Prepare yourself.
- There’s a fairly good chance I might be partly cloudy with a chance of emotional at times. I’m on a collision course for a date with Mother Nature during those days. I will do my best, but I can’t guarantee that it will be smooth sailing for me. Just hand me a drink, and I’m sure everything will be fine. Pinky swear.
- Also, I can get overwhelmed. Seriously. It’s not you, it is most certainly me. So if I look like a deer-in-the-headlights every so often, just be patient. I’ll reset and be right as rain momentarily!
- If I meet you earlier in the day, and forget your name by the end of it, this is my blanket apology. I’m way better with faces than I am with names, and I’m not trying to be rude. By the way, that name tag looks great on you, may I say!
- While it might appear at face value that I’m at BlogHer to network (see #1), I am actually there to meet new friends, catch up with old ones, and finally put more than one-dimensional faces to Twitter friends I talk to. After all that, I am there to become BFF’s with Tim Gunn.
(I kid, I kid! Maybe.) - I enjoy long walks, dinner by candlelight, and sunsets on the beac- oh, wait. Wrong questionnaire. My bad!
- I’m looking forward to seeing/meeting/hanging out with you.
- No, I’m not kidding.
- I’m nowhere near packed yet. I probably will wait until the last minute to pack too.
- I will probably bring too much.
- I’m sure I will forget something important though. I usually do.
- Did I mention I was excited to meet you?
So, are you ready for BlogHer?

Packed???? I’ll be packing the night before. I’m sure. Hopefully I can remember my poken this time.

I didn’t even KNOW about Bump-and when I looked into it-they have it for iTouch, too, yay!
Looking forward to seeing you again!

I am so excited to see you again and I swear that I won’t spill my water into your purse again. Okay, maybe. Okay, I can’t promise anything but I will make sure that I have lots of paper towels in my purse.

I never heard of Pokens before finding you on Twitter, and now I’m looking forward to seeing one IRL.
Hopefully we’ll get to meet at BlogHer next week. I’m so excited about the conference!
