I Really Hope I Paid PG&E

Posted by Moose on July 15th, 2008. Filed under: Daily.

I’m going to BlogHer! But I, uh, won’t be at any of the panels. Or any of the cocktail parties. Because, as a card-carrying member of the Intense Procrastinators club, I didn’t sign up in time. So it sold out. Which honestly never occurred to me. Perhaps it should have, but perhaps it also should have occurred to me to register my car that one time last year BEFORE it got towed for delinquency. Thankfully, this mistake SAVES me money, rather than sucking it out of my bank account until I’m moaning piteously and searching Turk St. for used crack pipes I can sell for shiny nickels.

Luckily, my houseguest is a similarly dedicated slacker and also failed to register promptly. So we’ll be slouching in the lobby with our sneakered feet propped on potted ferns while the rest of you lovely bloggers trip merrily about, doing responsible, productive, contributing-to-the-good-of-society kinds of things. We will be a leeching carbuncle on the bum of BlogHer and WE WILL BE PROUD.

A few parties will take us without the badge of blogger responsibility, but most of our time will be spent in a bar somewhere waiting for people to be done with official activities so we can pounce on them. If any of you want to escape the crowds, or say hello, or come to a Slackers Anonymous brunch on Sunday, just say the word. (Word can be sent via email, comments, carrier pigeon, smoke signal, or candy gram.) (I like salted caramels.)

Or just look for this:

These don't have any alcohol!

    I just returned from Brittany, in France, where the only souvenir I purchased was a ridiculous amount of caramels with sea salt. I’ve eaten them for breakfast every day since I got home.

    I wish I were coming to BlogHer (or NonBlogHer) so I could bring some to you. Instead, I’ll just think of you as I inhale my next handful.

    Had so much fun with you guys last night… I keep looking around for you and then remembering you’re probably having more fun. Let’s hook up later, plzkthnx.

    Will someone please just do the worm for me in the hotel lobby and send me a picture? That’s all I ask.

    It was so great to meet you.

    And honestly next year? Cocktail party pass all the way!

    I really hope Ali somehow got a salted caramel. I ate my last one last night.

    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! (picture the hand motion in your head)

    I may have to have you ship me some. I’ll send you something “Boston-y”. Like swear words, dirt and bad accents.
