Not At BlogHer – Live Blogging From LA
Not LA, but I was chilly in this picture. This is probably what I look like right now since the weather in LA is cold.
Hello My Dear Kernutties from sunny cloudy Los Angeles!
Since I’m #NotAtBlogHer (and totally jealous of all the blogalicious gals who went), I’m doing this. Yay for you! I’m hoping to do live tweets from my trip to LA this weekend. But my phone isn’t a “smart phone”, it’s only of average intelligence. If it doesn’t work, you won’t see any tweets below. They may instead be above. Crap, I just realized that.
4:41:33 AM: Up at 0-dark-hundred to drive an hour to meet the charter bus to LA. I hope this live blogging is working. #NotatBlogHer
7:35:33 AM: ok it appears live blogging on kernut.com is not working right for this noob… None of my AWESOME tweets came thru. (THIS is the only tweet, besides the opening/title that posted to my blog. WTF??)
8:27:33 AM: One the bus to LA with crazy people. (pic here Twitpic didn’t work either probably because I’m a clueless noob. It’s probably good I didn’t go to BlogHer – I don’t think they would have let me in.)
12:19:33 PM: This is the trophy we fight for in the softball game. (pic here) (The reason for this trip isn’t really the fellowship, the camaraderie, or the two big groups getting together twice a year. It’s actually all about this trophy. Don’t let anyone tell you different.)
3:45:33 PM: Self Realization Fellowship in Pacific Palisades (pic here) (This place is beautiful! If you’re ever in the area, check it out.)
4:58:33 PM: Venice Beach… loud, bad music, many cool knick knacks, and a lot of interesting peeps. (pic here, mostly of my thumb)
(Sunday)
10:41:33 AM: Sorry, but Monterey lost the ball game. With so many of our star players out it was an easy win for Santa Monica. We’ll get the trophy back in December! (Yes, you’re right if you’re thinking this is too long for a tweet. By this time I had given up on the Twitter and posted this as a Facebook status.)
So there you have it, folks. My first foray into Live Blogging, unlike Absence of Alternatives (click for example of how it’s supposed to go, not her first), crashed and burned. I couldn’t even get Twitpic to post my pictures. I still don’t know why neither one worked. Maybe it’s because my cell phone is only semi-intelligent (as opposed to being a ‘smart’ phone)?? I can text my tweets to Twitter and FB and it will post them. I had signed up for Twitpic, but this was my first attempt at sending pics to it from my phone.
I will try again some day because Twitter is sucking me in (maybe from Concours d’Elegance this weekend??). I can’t stop it, so I’m just going with it. *fingers crossed*
we so missed you in nyc. le sigh is right. and even cold on the beach is better than not on the beach.
It looked like you guys had a great time together! Next year, I’m going! As it turned out, I was rewarded with a bit of sunshine… it wasn’t as chilly as I expected.
I so need to be where you are now to recover. I am going through withdrawal from the love, like Patty said.
The pics looked great! And you met The Bloggess! You rock. Hey, are there such things as blogging cruises??? If not, we should all start one!
BTW – Thank you so much for the help! Sad to say, I’m still to lame too figure it out (that’s the same plugin I tried using. What is wrong with me?? Maybe it’s my not smart phone?) I will email you back later.
I do not want to talk about Blogher… Im still bitter I wasnt there….lol.
Could you please send some cool my way? Today it was 100 degress at 11am… and it only got worse from there.
I’m bummed I missed it, too. Vapid says it’s in San Diego next year… I will be there! You can have our cool weather in trade for the heat. We Californians have seriously missed our warm summer. We’re all very pale now.
