Tuesday questions: See you at BlogHer?

Posted by Siel in nocal, questions, travel (Tuesday June 10, 2008 at 9:55 am)

Your turn to help me –

Are you going to the BlogHer conference this year? It’s happening July 18 - 20, 2008, in case you’re just learning about it here and want to sign up. Last year the conference took me all the way to Chicago; this year, it’s just upstate in NoCal.

Green, Social Change & NPOs/NGOsI’ll be driving up — as that’s greener than flying. If you’re also going, lemme know — Maybe we can carpool! My current plan’s to stay at a private room in the SF downtown hostel –

I haven’t decided what panels to go to yet, but I’ll definitely be at the Blogging Birds of a Feather Meet-Up for Green/Social Change, happening from 10:30-11:10 am on Friday, July 18. Join the table and say hello –

Update: So GM’s a big sponsor — and let BlogHer attendees carpool up in Chevy hybrids. Free rental, free tank of gas gas, free parking — in a huge car. It took 2/3 of a tank to get up to San Francisco. It cost us $100 to drive back.

Update: BlogHer has a recycling room for unwanted swag this year.

  1. I’d love to be going, but will be in India and blogging from there when I get the chance.

    I like your blog. I hope you you might take an interest in mine ;-).

  2. I’m not sure that I buy the driving greener than flying thing. Certainly, it seems very likely that a solo drive is going to be much less green than flying in a packed plane. I’d buy taking the train or the bus as being greener, but driving, not so much.

  3. stay in the hostel in fort mason if you can.
    you’d have a much nicer (with views) experience.

    downtown hostels=tenderloin=I’d think about it.

  4. I recommend the Adelaide Hostel downtown (yes, Tenderloin, but perfectly safe) - the private rooms are especially nice!

  5. Oh yay! I can’t wait to meet you, Siel. I’ll be at Blogging Birds of a Feather Meet-Up for Green/Social Change too, and am trying to get Green Bean to come too.

    So, this doesn’t answer your question. Just glad you’re coming.

  6. I’m driving up, but stopping half way up to research strawbale homes in San Luis Obispo. I will be returning in one drive, however. You are welcome to join me on both or either legs.

  7. Don — It’s best to rely on scientific research when looking at emissions, as opposed to just going by what you personally think is “likely” –

    I’ve booked a few nights at a private room at the hostel downtown — so unless a better option comes along, that’s where I shall be :)

    Looking forward to meeting you too, Beth!

    Mary — We’re now setting up car trips via BlogHer — and may in fact get a free ride in a hybrid via GM, of all people. If you for some reason decide to skip the straw bale research thing, you’re welcome to join us — Let me know!
