STEP ONE: view this video with your volume turned way the fuck up…

is it up??? like UP??? like you’re bustin out, doin ::the sprinkler:: UP??

k. good. we’re gettin the engine started…

STEP TWO: grab yourself a cocktail, it doesn’t need to contain alcohol and you will not be made fun of for drinking non-alcoholic beverages… unless it’s o’doul’s, in which case, you may just wanna keep that info to yourself. if you’re indecisive when it comes to beverages, scope these puppies out by clicking here and here for some yummy suggestions.

STEP THREE: try not to be scurred. you don’t even have to look at us, if you don’t want to. we’re not goin all BIG BROTHER on your ass and scoping you out, tracking your IP address, your blog (if you have one), your twitter account, your stats, etc. hell, i can’t even scope my own out without the help of @PrincessJenn. point being, we just wanna build community and hang with people who aren’t attending BlogHer in NYC for whatever reason. that’s it. you don’t have to have a blog yourself in order to leave comments here. you don’t have to have a twitter account, though it would help you out when it comes time to launch this bitch… but when it all comes down to it, this wee-babe was created last year on a whim and for shits and giggles and fun. our dazzling hosts this year are all about paying it forward. bottom line: we’re just here to hang, connect with people and get good dirt on one another.

STEP FOUR: participate. DUR… this means we want you to subscribe to our feed, leave comments, tells us who you are, get in on the kickass giveaways we have this year. and ps- can i just say that it’s incredible to have so many amazing people and businesses getting involved with us this year?!?! because last year, i had to write this post in order to get some shit. and it’s kinda nice knowing that i don’t have to go back to moonlighting this year. i’m just sayin…

STEP FIVE: let us know if you want to guest post on here. if you’re new to BlogHer@Home and want to put yourself out there with a post that says, “I DON’T FUCKING GET IT!!!” for cripes’ sake, speak up. contact us. no, seriously. please do because that means i’ll have less posts to write.

STEP SIX: patience dear grasshoppas… the actual BlogHer conference isn’t taking place for a few more weeks, which means that you have plenty of time to do a little research on here, see how things went down last year and get updates on how it’ll go down this year. follow BlogHer@Home on twitter for updates as well as for fun chatty time with us. hell, you don’t even have to wear pants. we won’t know!!! unless you tell us… hehehe…

in conclusion, this is your brain on BlogHer@Home. any questions?

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.

1) BlogHer@Home launches TONIGHT at 9 pm EST
