Is BlissDom ’09 A Possibility?

Yesterday, going to Blissdom in February wasn’t even an outside possibility, or so I thought. Heck, a few hours ago, it wasn’t more than a passing, not really possible, thought.  But then, I caught wind of #Blissdom09 buzz on Twitter. 

Oh, it started sounding enticing. And I realized that I truly wanted to go, but had quieted those thoughts since it isn’t something I can swing without a sponsor and, well, it is less than a month away.  So it just didn’t seem… well… doable.

While chatting on Twitter about Blissdom ’09, the idea started forming… What if?  So, I thought I’d toss the idea out there that I would love to attend and needed sponsors.  Within minutes, I had an email with an offer of partial sponsorship. You know who you are and I totally heart you. You added real hope and the realization that This. Could. Happen. 

So, I have some numbers to crunch.

Conference Fees. {Update: Conf Fees = $150 in advance or $200 at the event}

Airfare (which I heard through Twitter buzz there is an awesome roundtrip fare right now). {Update: Just confirmed price I heard: $160 roundtrip.}

Hotel costs (and tonight I made plans to room with another lady, so those costs will be more reasonable as well.  {Update: Hotel rates are $98-103 per night for 2-3 nights, so split it would be $100-$150}.

Misc fees.

Laptop.  Ok, kinda joking about this one, but I’ve only owned desktops and can’t take it along with me to live tweet & live blog the event, so if there was someone who wanted to give me a laptop to enable me to do that… well, I wouldn’t exactly turn it down.  J 

I’m ready to rock your brand at Blissdom ’09 & beyond!  Contact me with your ideas and let’s make it happen!
