BlogHer@Home LAUNCHING TONIGHT!
that’s right, TONIGHT as in THURSDAY eve. race out to the liquor store immediately after reading this post, stock up on your snacks, and get ready to rock this bitch TONIGHT AT 9 PM EST.
{Note from Jenn: Yeah, I know we said we were going to launch tomorrow. We couldn’t wait to start giving stuff away (and the tweets and emails asking when we were going to launch and could we do it soon were getting to be a bit much). So Nic and I moved things up to tonight}
here’s how we’re launching yo…. we’re going all tinychat style on your asses… so tonight at the designated time mentioned above (9 PM EST for those of you who missed it already) log in to http://www.tinychat.com/bhah09 and you will find your’s truly as well as jenn rockin out our pjs and starting our giveaways.
we will be giving away 5 items tonight folks… danny’s book RAGE Against the Meshugenah will be the first item to go, followed by our first of TWO sets of pearl earrings to giveaway, a luscious $50 giftcard to starbucks courtesy of ali, and ending with saucy sara’s drinky-poo pendant. go BIG or go home folks! (oh wait, we are at home…)
GET YOUR COMMENTS IN NOW!!! (if you haven’t already done so.) we will be closing comments as soon as we launch this evening’s kick off chat.
Another Jenn note: No you don’t need to be online tonight to win, but wouldn’t it be da bomb to be the first to find out you’ve won? Like for reals?
in addition to launching this drunken home haze of our’s, jenn and i will be providing you with a full schedule of events for the coming weekend. so pay attention and don’t get too drunk… or… get drunk and recheck the schedule tomorrow.
aside from being scared shitless, jenn and i are both so unbelievably stoked about launching Blogher@Home. we are proud of our little baby here, and have gotten so much awesome support from so many people.
THANK YOU!
word on the street is that the peeps who are in chicago will be hearing where the locale is for BlogHer 2010 will be, and tickets will then go on sale.
CRIKEY! (did i spell that right? it looks weird to me.)
this means a couple of things for jenn and myself… it means that we’d lurve a little sponsorship to attend BlogHer 2010 (hint hint wink wink) and it also means that we will be looking for hosts for Blogher@Home 2010. that way you don’t have to look at our stinken faces, nor hear our drunken voices two years in a row via tinychat.
so… what have we learned here????
1) BlogHer@Home launches TONIGHT at 9 pm EST
2) go to http://www.tinychat.com/bhah09 to find jenn and nic.
3) buy booze
4) our first 5 giveaways will be TONIGHT, get comments in NOW
5) jenn and nic would like sponsors for BlogHer 2010 puhlease
6) buy booze
ok…. class dismissed! see ya tonight!

I am so ready to start! I just know we are going to have a drunken blast.
Must go buy wine. Even though its only 8:30am. I need the rest of the time to go through my pjs and decide what to wear tonight!!!
I would volunteer to host BlogHerAtHome next year, because I know that once again something horrid will happen and I won’t be able to attend, BUT what if it doesn’t? And I finally get to go?!?!?! So I sorta, kinda, maybe just little, possibly volunteer, okay?
See you lovely ladies tonight.

Looks like I might miss out on this BlogHer as well… I’m on the other side of the world and the time difference is too much. I know I can’t win anything either… I’m really screwed LOL.
BUT.. love the idea, and will try my best to be on in the am (with a cup of coffee instead of a drink) to join in the fun.
Good luck and you girls rock!!

Tinychat is a program that allows you to do a big giant chatroom (so hold onto your hats, it’s going to get confusing)
It also allows us to do live video chatting while everyone else is text chatting. So you’ll see Nic and I in all of our glory (read pj, no make up, and hair probably not done either), as well as a few other guests we’ll be bringing on, on the video boxes.
