God this is great. I love everything about it. Don’t go changin’, Neil. (Not that you planned to, or that you ought not to because I said, or, oh shit, another Billy Joel reference dies a slow, painful death.)

I missed both of your sessions and it is my dual white-hot regret of BlogHer09, which all the same was my best one ever so I guess it went down the way it was supposed to. I’m glad I can catch up with all of you now.

Danny is right, you are the Yenta of the blogosphere. You personally hooked me up with more writers and blogs than any other source. When you say, “I think you’d like so-and-so, I always do.” And hey, you hooked me up with Danny too. Ha ha ha.

Great story. It makes me want to actually leave my house and meet bloggers.

Someday.

Well, I for one, would be thrilled to pieces to get to meet any of you in real life…

Can’t wait to read the review (and yes I’m guilty of lurking here).

Ok one, I am very jealous about your dinner with BHJ, although frankly I’m also jealous that he had dinner with you. Two, I have loved Kate’s writing (her blog) since I started reading it 3 years ago, which sadly coincided with Liam’s death. I would sit in bed and bawl. I wrote to her back then saying “You are the most amazing writer ever! Write a book, please!” So, I guess what I’m saying is that you all can thank me for her new Opus.
And you’re welcome.

Yeah, what the hell is with Canadians and blogging. I realized today that I follow a lot of Canadian and women bloggers. Am I less of a man/American? Nah, I’m cool.

I hate all of you snooty, talent-having, writer types. Okay, I don’t.. but jealous? Absolutely!

Whatever you do, Neil, please don’t tell everyone that we cuddled in our pajamas. The last thing I’d want is for everyone on the internet to know that we cuddled in our pajamas. So please don’t do that.

Just to correct the literary snob bitch misconception, I should make it clear: I can’t read for shit. Unless it’s The Gruffalo. I’m only snooty about vinyl siding and American tea.

I hope you bug me forever. Also hoping you always fall for the halo trick. I’m honoured to return the favour.

I’ve been waiting for the post about your visit with V-grrrl, it’s the least you can do! I’ve never met Kate but I think she’s fantastic. The book looks amazing, too. I’m only this second realizing how many bloggers I read because of you. You’re like the Yenta of the blogosphere!

This is gorgeous babe. This is a perfect way to do a review for someone.
