Why did you decide to attend the KidLitosphere Conference?<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jules:<\/font><\/strong> For the opportunity to meet face-to-face many bloggers I respect and admire.<\/p>\n Eisha:<\/font><\/strong> Yeah, me too. It was kind of like the reason I got into blogging in the first place – a chance to hang out and talk with people who are passionate about the same things I am.<\/p>\n Who was most like their blog? Who was least like their blog?<\/em><\/p>\n Jules:<\/font><\/strong> Oh, I’d say…Hmm…Most like their blog? Robin Brande<\/strong><\/a>, gracious host! And Mark and Andrea<\/strong><\/a> = really outgoing and enthusiastic. There wasn’t one person there at the conference who wasn’t extra-friendly. <\/p>\n Eisha:<\/font><\/strong> Adrienne<\/strong><\/a>, also, is exactly like you’d expect – very deadpan and hilarious. <\/p>\n What surprised you at the conference?<\/em><\/p>\n Jules:<\/font><\/strong> Sara Lewis Holmes’<\/strong><\/a> voice wasn’t at all like I imagined it would be. Also, that a lot of bloggers treat blogging like it’s a part-time job. You can also tell that from their blogs, but in person…wow, they’re serious about what they do. <\/p>\n Eisha:<\/font><\/strong> Can I admit something sort of horrible? It was my first experience with meeting people I had primarily known online, and I had a sort of fear that the people in person wouldn’t actually be anything like their online personalities. I was even afraid that there would be a bunch of, like, you know… totally stereotypical anti-social computer geek types who maybe couldn’t actually hold a proper conversation in real life (like this girl<\/strong><\/a>). It was totally unfounded. I had a blast.<\/p>\n What will you always remember about the last conference? <\/em><\/p>\n Jules:<\/font><\/strong> A late-night trip for coffee with several bloggers, including Tricia<\/strong><\/a>, Adrienne<\/strong><\/a>, Sara<\/strong><\/a>, Greg<\/strong><\/a>, and Eisha. I’m sure I’m forgetting someone. <\/p>\n Eisha:<\/font><\/strong> Yeah, that was fun. And also lunch with many of those people, plus Mark and Andrea<\/strong><\/a>, too. I dunno… the whole day was just pretty awesome. Can’t really pick a fave moment.<\/p>\n Did you blog about the conference?<\/em> <\/p>\n Jules:<\/font><\/strong> Yup<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n MotherReader tagged us in a kidlitosphere-conference meme. As many of you know, the third (I think it is) Annual Kidlitosphere Conference is coming up on October 17th. Here’s all the info you need. Eisha and I can’t be there, but MotherReader, who is working hard to organize this year’s conference, asked us to take a […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1789","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-etcetera"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blaine.org\/sevenimpossiblethings\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1789","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blaine.org\/sevenimpossiblethings\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blaine.org\/sevenimpossiblethings\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blaine.org\/sevenimpossiblethings\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blaine.org\/sevenimpossiblethings\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1789"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/blaine.org\/sevenimpossiblethings\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1789\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blaine.org\/sevenimpossiblethings\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1789"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blaine.org\/sevenimpossiblethings\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1789"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blaine.org\/sevenimpossiblethings\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1789"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![](\"http:\/\/blaine.org\/jules\/motherreader.JPG\")
