Hello Nashville, Blissdom or Bust!


im_speaking_yall BadgesI'm so excited I can hardly stand it. Tomorrow leave on a 9:30am flight to Nashville where I will be joining some of my most favorite mommy bloggers for a long weekend of fun, bonding, learning, and serving (more about that later).
The conference starts on Friday afternoon and I will be speaking on the Social Media panel for the Maven track (there's an Apprentice track as well). Following the conference I'll be having dinner with Real Girls Media and other moms that are part of the RGM Network. After that, it's back to cocktail hour with the Blissdom Belles of the Ball and a slumber party! And yes, I will be wearing my PJs!
At 10pm EST, Sugar Jones and I will be reporting live from Blissdom on LuckyStartups.com (thanks Aronado!) briefly before we return to the festivities.
You can be sure I will be capturing lots of pictures and video, tweeting it live, and blogging about it!
On Saturday the conference will continue with more panels and wow...did I luck out with being chosen to moderate the book deals panel! Jen Lancaster, author of Bitter Is the New Black among others, will be on the panel along with Michelle Lamar, author of The White Trash Mom Handbook: Embrace Your Inner Trailerpark, Forget Perfection, Resist Assimilation into the PTA, Stay Sane, and Keep Your Sense of Humor.

Follow the panel sessions on Saturday we're going to see Chris Mann perform live!  If you have not listened to him yet, you should...and he's not to shabby to look at either (wink wink).  Following the performance, Jen Lancaster will give the keynote speech and then it's Tweetup Party time with the ladies (and good friends of mine) from Mom It Forward, Jyl and Carissa.  You can bet I'll be pulling out my Flip camera for the night's festivities as we've been promised there will be karaoke.

Finally, Sunday morning before departure I'll be joining the Mom It Forward ladies again volunteering at a local soup kitchen (to Mom It Forward)...it's our way of getting together and giving back all at the same time.

Whew!  Does this sound like a packed weekend or what?!

Oh, and I've forgone the traditional paper business cards in lieu of electronic ones this time.  I will be using RMBRME.com and the virtual business card I created with my MobileMe account aptly titled Meet Jessica Knows.

If you've got any karaoke requests, please include them in the comments here.

Wishing you a Blissful Weekend!

Shall I say hello online though I've already spoken to you, rode the shuttle with you and am actually able to see your back as you stand not 15 feet from me? LOL
