I need to Bitch…..For the First Time
If you read this blog regularly you know that I rarely complain. This blog is primarily a very happy space where I talk about the great adventures of the Boyer family.
Well today I am irritated and I need to vent. It’s about the Sesame Street room at BlogHer.
Let me break it down….Here at the event you can sign up to tape a video with either Grover or Abby Cadabby from Sesame Street. Really cool right???
Well I went up yesterday and signed up for a video with Grover as I have two boys. Right before my turn, Grover goes on break and Abby comes on board. Now I have no problem with Abby, it’s just that I have boys. Boys who would not relate to a fairy monster the way they would to Grover.
I explain to the girl handling the scheduling that I would like to do my video with Grover and ask if I can comeback when Grover returns. She informs me that he won’t be back until tomorrow and schedules me for 11:30 a.m. today.
So, this morning I head down to the room and check in to make sure I am good to go. I notice that Abby Cadabby is doing the interviews and ask the girl when Grover will be up. She informs me that he’d done the earlier shift and that he wouldn’t be back until afternoon. I ask if I can swap out and come back then and she informs me that it’s booked. The best she can offer is a photo opp with him.
WTF!!@#@! I told her I wanted to be with Grover. I spoke with her about it yesterday. I am just super bummed as I already told my son that I was meeting Grover and he was super excited. Now I have to tell him I couldn’t make it happen.
Sorry to bitch and moan. I try to avoid it but I am just so disappointed by the whole situation.
PS. I love Sesame Street and think it is totally cool that they made this opportunity available. I’m just disappointed that it didn’t work out for me.

Sorry about the misfortune you are encountering at the Sesame Street booth, they don’t seem very nice or organized.
That sucks Shannan. I am sorry it didn’t work out.
I’m sorry for you and your boys…I’m glad you complained, though. They need to know that it was NOT organized well!
Ugh. Sorry that happened. It’s doubly worse because their disorganization affected your kids–not like YOU were dying to get a video with Grover for your own fun! They should’ve known that, and been more organized and thoughtful.
Sounds like the rest of the weekend was lots of fun though!
I would be quite annoyed if they tried to sub in anyone for Grover. What a rip! Hope the boy isn’t crushed.
sorry about yr Grover issues- but it was lovely to meet you at blogher! xo
Aw, that really sucks. And I think it’s cute the way you kinda sorta complain: “I was disappointed and it sucked, but Sesame Street is really awesome and I don’t want to complain too much…” Hey, you have a right to be annoyed.
THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!!!! ARGH. But my daughter loved it. Of course.
Dude. I didn’t even get a sign up time. URGH!
lol. Shannon. I totally suck at complaining. Sorry it happened to a couple of you as well. It was the first thing my youngest asked about when I got in the car. Sucked.
