Each year as the Blogher conference gets closer, I wish that there was something similar here in Australia. Given the low profile of blogging in Australia and the even lower financial returns, I doubt that a conference on the scale of Blogher would be financially viable.
But, that doesn’t stop me from thinking about the possibility of an annual or even biennial bloggers conference in Australia. mmm… A bit of organising here,a bit of corporate sponsorship there, the hiring of a venue and “Robert’s your Mother’s Brother.”
In other news, I have been walking around the house quietly going, “Squeeee” with excitement. Mum and I are going to visit my brother who lives on the New South Wales, central coast. Aaaaand my little brother actually lives quite close to Tiff from My Three Ring Circus. Soooo Tiff and I have organised to meet up for lunch. At Tiff’s house. WOOT!!!! I don’t mind missing the blogher conference at all now. Not one bit.
So at the moment all is well in the Frogpondsrock household. YAY

You may not have heard, but I was seriously throwing around the BlogHer AUS idea back in March/April. It was even pencilled in in my diary for the end of June. A venue was even set.
But it fell through. I didn’t feel I could get it together. Maybe next year.

Sounds like tons of fun!
Personally, I cannot imagine a more intimidating event than Blogher, but that’s me.
