That would be fate, right? I am biased but I think YES, come and of course I would more than say hello, we can grab coffee. All the way from Ireland and it time for BlogHer 10?

Really interested in reading this, as considering whether or not to come to Blogher '10..... yes from Ireland! Seems a daunting prospect, but as we will be in US at the right time (Boston and Cape Cod for 3 week vacation) and have negotiated a couple of nights away from the family to attend if I want, I am now having cold feet. Would you recommend it? If I come will you say "hi"? Greetings.

I couldn't agree with you more with your comments, especially the "celebrity blogger" comments. I feel those are more "popularity" lists and have more to do with the PR firms and who is making more sales than anything. As a doc/healthcare blogger, I can't participate in many of the PR sorts of things or even give-aways on my blog or I'd seriously jeopardize my ability to practice medicine. I blog to make a difference and connect with cool people...not to party and get free stuff at conferences. I was seriously disappointed at the swag-mania, the back turning, and the over the top drinking. That said, the "A-list" people were missing out. I was able to meet so many really great bloggers who, like all of us, were there for the connections and to find a way to make the blogosphere more meaningful to our readers. I hope we get to bump into each other sooner than the next conference - since we're local, let's grab lunch or dinner in the fall and stay in touch! As for BlogHer 2010, NYC is sure hard to pass up :) Gwenn Great bumping into you at BlogHer!
