I'm seeing a damned if you do damned if you don't attitude when it comes to the RSVP parties. The People's Party on Thursday took RSVPs and ignored the list. When the doors opened there was a huge rush of people wanting swag bags and drink tickets and a baby was elbowed in the face. There were so many people at the room couldn't hold them all. People complained. Saturday night the MamaPop party adheres to their RSVP list. There's no stampede, no one gets elbowed. People who didn't RSVP to the party, aren't on the list complain of it being elite when there were lists of the parties on Kirsty, BlogHer, and another personal blog I can't remember. That's how I found out about these parties and RSVP'ed because I don't read MomaPop, etc. either. It seems like either way you go with the RSVP situation, you're going to make people and the Twitterese unhappy. .-= Condo Blues´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CondoBlues/~3/hwSCfNkp_i8/10-ways-for-college-students-to-go.html" rel="nofollow">10 Ways for College Students to Go Green on the Cheap</a> =-.

It was terrifying. Also, a bunch of my friends couldn't get into the MamaPop party either so I stuck my head in for five minutes to say hi and see the unicorn cake and then we all just went next door to the Mommy Needs a Cocktail party and drank from the chocolate fountain for a few hours. The thing I loved about blogher this year is that there were so many parties that even when I wasn't allowed into one there was usually another one going on that was just as awesome. I didn't RSVP for BowlHer so I didn't go but I ended up finding a few people I'd never met before and just having an impromptu room party. Impromptu room parties with strangers are always the best parties. .-= Jenny, Bloggess´s last blog ..<a href="http://thebloggess.com/?p=3506" rel="nofollow">You win this round, neighborhood watch program.</a> =-.
