A few months ago you may recall me writing about a blogging conference I attended in Nashville, TN. The event was BlissDom08 and was put on by FussyPants and a few other gals from Blissfully Domestic. Turns out that the first event was such a success that they are putting on another – BIGGER – conference in February and I’M GOING!!
On Thursday I registered with Amy (AmyInOhio), Christina (A Mommy Story) and Heather (Domestic Extroardinaire) for the 2009 edition of BlissDom which takes place February 6 & 7 in Nashville. Heather and Christina live in the Columbus, OH area so they’ll be stopping by Cincinnati to pick Amy and I up. I am pretty excited to hang out with Christina and Heather as I met Christina at BlogHer08 but only for a second and I’ve never had the opportunity to meet Heather in person. I think we will have a blast on the drive down.
In addition to the conference that weekend, it’s also the weekend before my 33 birthday. I am sure that will add to the festivities……
There are also a lot of great bloggers from the area heading down that I can’t wait to hang out with – Lu from Art Slam, my girl Debba from Girlfriendology, Jenny & Emilie from Mommin’ it Up, Marcy from Stretching a Buck, Andrea at Mommy Snacks and Erin at $5 Dinners. (If I missed you, please leave a comment saying that you’re coming too!)
As I mentioned earlier, this year the conference has grown to have two tracks – one for beginning bloggers and one for bloggers who’ve been at it for a longer time. I’ll be sitting in on the advanced session and am particularly interested in the PR/Marketing session. Since I am on both sides of the fence – being a blogger that works with PR people and then also being a PR person whose had the opportunity to work with bloggers successfully several times – I think it will be interesting to hear what others think.
You can learn more about BlissDom09, hereor on Facebook, here.
PS. If you are interested in going to BlissDom09 and need a room at the Hotel Preston, I am selling mine. It’s a double-bed room at the $98 a night rate. Turns out one of my roomies also reserved a room so we have two!
I am very excited to go as well. I can’t wait to meet everyone and just enjoy the Bliss :O)

Oh I would love to go, but it’s Rich’s birthday weekend. He’ll just be coming back from England the week before too. I was a bit sad when I saw the weekend because it’s so perfect to have it in Nashville… that’s so close to me… well close-ish.
