Sounds very exciting! Can’t wait. Well, I’m not very good at being truly objective and unnecessarily harsh in my critique, and I don’t think it would be very PC for me to do Randy, but I am all about perpetuating stereotypes. Perhaps Ryan Seacrest then?

We’d have some fun with it Adam wouldn’t we?
It’ll be great to finally meet f2f…can you believe we’ll have been working together 3 years by then?
As Paula and Ryan we can practice harsh critiques on total strangers.

Oh hush! You know perfectly well I’d give a body part to be there…
I think I’m going to go and sulk in a darkened room, now. I might even slam the door behind me.

Oh I wish you could come! It’d be great to meet you in person. Would you be interested in participating virtually in the Women bloggers panel? Cathy Moore, Michele Martin, and Christine Martell have indicated an interest. (they will be there live though).

Sounds interesting, Janet. I’ll message you my email address via Facebook, and you can fill me in on the details. It’ll have to be this evening, because of course FB is blocked at the office, since it constitutes(ahem) “social not-working”… unless of course you already have my email address. I can’t remember!
Of course, I’d far rather be there in person, too. There are just so many people I’d like to meet in person (especially you, naturally) who are likely to be there.
