Top Ten {Tuesday}: Unofficial Blissdom Events *updated with new events*
Posted by oh amanda on January 25th, 2010 . Filed under: blissdom .{special thanks to Diaper Diaries for demanding requesting that this post be written.}
The Blissdom Conference is a mere two weeks away! Earlier this week I got a fun blissdom-is-almost-here box filled with goodies from ConAgra (Blissdom’s biggest sponsor) and a sweet letter from Alli and Barbara encouraging us to get our Bliss on! The agenda at Blissdom is jam-packed: there is a special Weight Watchers walk every morning, a cocktail party on Thursday and Friday night and a Wear-Your-PJs party on Saturday evening.
Apparently, there are people that don’t think this is enough—as there are some awesome UNOFFICIAL Blissdom parties to round out the weekend! Here are the Top Ten Twelve Unofficial Blissdom Events That I Have Seen On Twitter {nice title, huh?}
::THURSDAY::
1. Country Party with Country Inn & Suites and Country Bob’s.
{Thursday, 7pm. Country Inn & Suites in Goodlettsville.}
They are providing free transportation and free food and you could win a free hotel room. What could be better?
2. Blissful Bites and Bubbles by Clever Girls Collective
{Thursday, 10:30pm-12:00am. Old Hickory Steakhouse at the Opryland Hotel}
This is for those who want to stay up LATE! After the official Blissdom Cocktail Party, the Clever Girls are keepin’ the party going! Not only will there be feather boas, they are also offering up a big fat prize (like a ticket to Blogalicious!) from tons of sponsors (including my friend Amy from MomSpark and Mom Made That!) If I can make it that late I will be there!
::FRIDAY::
3. Breakfast with Amy from Finer Things In Life.
Oh, wait. You’re not invited to that. I just emailed her and asked if we could get together. I love her blog and want to pick her brain a bit.
{Speaking of Amy, she’s going to be BLISS*TASTIC tomorrow!!}
4. Prep What You Are Going To Say To Harry Connick Jr. Party.
{Friday, 6:30pm. Everywhere.}
You’ll know you’ve got the right party when you see a group of women hyper-ventilating and writing notes on their hands. **This “party” has been moved because Harry’s performance and meet/greet has been moved to Friday night during the OFFICIAL Blissdom Cocktail Party from 7-9pm**
5. Savvy Blogging.
{Friday, 7-10pm. Radisson Hotel.}
Sadly, I think this is full. I will be there and I will be taking copious notes to share with you. And hey, go ahead and follow their hashtag #savvyblogging. It’s a conference in itself!
6. InCourage Beach House Party
{Friday, 9pm. Suite #5139, Cascade}
Oh, I adore the ladies of (in)courage! I hope I get to make it to this party. I know it’s going to feel as cozy as their blog. Plus, there is free food. And doorprizes. I love me a good door. </lamejoke>
7. Potato Tastemaker 2k10: Showdow
{Friday, 9-11pm. Lincoln Presidential Conference Rooms C, D & E }
My bbb Jo-Lynne and several other fabu bloggers will be cooking for us Top Chef style! And it’s sponsored by POTATOES so, you know, there will be stuff to eat.
::SATURDAY::
8. Share a Random Moment: A Prayer Breakfast with Robin from Pensieve
{Saturday, 7:30 am}
Does Robin know how to put it in perspective or what? Praying with my bloggy friends. I already have tears in my eyes!
9. Foodie Lunch with 5 Dollar Dinners and Savor the Thyme.
{Saturday, 12:30-3:30pm. Blissdom Ballroom}
A fun meet up during lunch with Erin and Jennifer. They’re not cooking but at least you get to see them eat!
10. Chat Consult with Mandi Oh, wait. you’re not invited to that, either. But, follow my lead. Go ahead and make plans to meet up with someone you admire! Let them critique you!
{Speaking of Mandi, don’t forget to download her free Blissdom Planner. You can copy this whole post into the printable schedule she’s made for you!}
::SUNDAY::
11. The Blissdom After Party Meet Up at The Pancake Pantry.
{Sunday, 9am.}
Hosted by Yours Truly. This is an honest-to-goodness meet up. There’s no sponsor. No private dining room. Nothing but the BEST Breakfast in the Whole Wide World at one of Nashville’s best celebrity hot-spots. Also, the first 50 people that arrive get a hug from me. Yeah. So, if you’re still going to be in Nashville, you MUST come eat with us. Leave me a comment if you’ll be there!
12. Photo Walk with i heart faces
{Sunday, 10-11:30}
Any level of photographer can meet at Broadway & 5th Ave near Ribby’s BBQ and shoot some of the great scenes in downtown Nashville. This sounds so fun!
Any other parties I missed? Leave me a comment and link to it so we can all make sure to be there!
:: :: ::
So do you have a Top Ten list to share? It can be about anything—Top Ten Favorite Movies, Top Ten Things You Will Not Miss While You Are At Blissdom, Top Ten Reasons To Leave Me A Comment. You can view the offical Top Ten {Tuesday} rules if you’d like but the CliffNotes are like so:
1. Write a Top Ten list on your blog.
2. Link to little ole me.
3. Enter the URL of your post on the MckLinky below.
4. Click/Comment/Stumble/Tweet the rest of the Top Ten {Tuesday} Participants!
Easy enough, right? Can’t wait to see you at Blissdom!

OK- I learned about SO many get togethers from this post! TOTALLY educational! I’m NOW in on the prayer breakfast (do I need to e-mail Robin?) And Foodie lunch? I’m so there.
Wait… one more… what was it? Oh, YES! The Breakfast with YOU!!! I’m in, baby!
Dang… what AM I going to say to Harry. Do you think I can get in a quick, but sincere, love confession in a few seconds.
PS- I’ll be at Tastemakers, Incourage and totally missed out on savvy blogging. #BlogFail.

I think he’ll be interested in meeting you all by then.

Every post about Blissdom makes me cry! I SO want to go, but it was scheduled too close to our BIG TRIP, so I’m not able to make it. I’m going to have to go into serious negotiations with my husband to see if I can make it to Blogher. I’m SO jealous!!
