Aha. I do remember reading some tweets about why he was there, implying that it was inappropriate for Eden Fantasys to be at a mom conference. My reply was that we’re moms, we’re not dead!

I got in touch with Drew today, too. Keep your eyes peeled for a product review. Hehe.

Christina,

I didn’t mean to say that YOU were bashing Drew or that that comment in particular was mean spirited, but I know for a fact that others WERE bashing Drew.
I was also just pointing out that Drew wasn’t here purely for the vah-jay-jays. Snort.

Robin,

Uh…I type fast? You’d have to talk to Kelby about the award thing. It would be a bit presumptuous if I did, LOL!

I was glad to meet you, too! So much fun hanging out with you.

VDog,

I didn’t think that the comment about Drew was supposed to be derogatory. I thought it was a good-natured jibe because of his business. (A business that I whole-heartedly support for empowering women about their sex lives!)

Great recap!

I just want to say in Drew’s defense that he wasn’t planning on attending until Kelby asked him to speak at the Town Hall meeting.

He didn’t do so because he could see that it was getting dicey.

Drew has been nothing but nice to me, and very sweet. I’m sorry he got a bad rap.

I’m amazed. How in THE world did you DO this? YOU ROCK, GirlieQ! I think you should win a conference award or something, lol.

GREAT job, equally great to meetcha.

Color me impressed!

Just read all of your recaps from Type-A. Thank you so much for live-blogging! I wasn’t able to make the conference and I was so excited to catch some of it on momtv and here. I subscribed to your feed and plan to re-read these posts as I delve into the world of monetizing. I have been blogging (for free) for 6 years. I feel like I have been around forever, BUT I am a complete newbie at PR pitches and ads etc. so this is insanely helpful! Thanks again

My first time to your blog, found you through watching the #typeamom twitter stream. Thanks for the live blogging – I love experiencing the conference vicariously.

I do embrace the term mommy blogger, because I blog about my kid and family, But I LOVE “digital mom!” That challenges me to step outside my comfort zone in the digital arena. My goal is now to learn 2 new forms of digital media before the end of 2009. That helps me better myself, keeps my brain from turning to mush after watching too many Disney movies, and makes me more “marketable.”

Thanks again!
