New York, New York

By Gwen, on August 6th, 2010

I have been in New York staying at the Hilton New York right in the middle of everything.   I am too tired to be coherent right now, but I will tantalize you with a few pictures of my adventures.

One block north of the Hilton.

A Bit Nervous

By Gwen, on August 4th, 2010

After wanting to go since 2006 I am finally going to Blogher this year.  I admit it, I am a bit nervous about going to New York tomorrow.  The packing has been too easy, I must be misssing something.  Oh well, too late now.

Off to Calgary and then to New York starting at 5:30 am tomorrow.  Thanks to Michelle of Everything Mom I now have a cab buddy from the airport to the hotel.  I am rooming with Marilyn of A Lot of Loves and I have some other Vancouver peeps who will be around.

Anyway, wish me luck. I will try to post a few things here and there and I will tweet as well.   Now I am off to put in the tripod and make sure I can charge my camera batteries.  See you in New York!
