Well, now for the second of this year’s blogging conventions, the original BlogHer which started all the mad dashing around:  This year’s BlogHer16 is being held on August 4-6 in Los Angeles, which is rather too far a drive even for me.  PITA and I are leaving this afternoon so we’ll arrive the night before the chattering hordes descend and stay over Sunday night for the same reason.  And also, if I’m being even partially honest, to grab as much stuff from the swag swap suite.

As with our whirlwind tour at BloggerBash in NYC last month, I’ll be offering live tweets for your entertainment – click on the little birdie and you’ll see the latest and greatest and quite often what will be heading to the stores in time for Holiday Shopping (Hasbro has a line of figures coming out based on the upcoming Dreamworks Trolls movie for example and we’re supposed to find them in our rooms – yay! – free stuff delivered!).
