BlogWorld – Day 2 Afternoon
I didn’t do anything worth blogging about the morning of Day 2. I did head over to Blogworld in the afternoon. I knew Pete from Izea was going to be there around one, and I definitely wanted to meet him in person. I also needed to finish walking through the trade show and Mark Cuban was the closing speaker. I wanted to see him speak.
I did run into Pete:
He’s from England, so not only is he cute but he has an English accent too. Pete has his own fan club (whether he likes it or not). One of the booths I stopped at was for Southwest. On my Lisa Reviews blog, I actually wrote up a review regarding my flight on my way to Vegas, so I stopped by and let them know. They also were giving away inflatable airplanes, and I wanted to grab one for Madison. I let them know that I had written a review and enjoyed the fight. They told me they were having a contest for anyone who commented on their blog. Needless to say, I commented.
Who knew that I could later have used a nurse from a travel nursing agency later that day? Seriously, I did not need a nurse that had a travel nursing job, but my heart did stop when I found out that I won. What did I win? A free round trip ticket that doesn’t need to be used till December of 2008. I can use it anywhere that Southwest goes. Since I live in Chicago and that is Southwest’s main headquarters, I can pretty much go anywhere. I keep repeating this and no one believes me. Really, I am not lucky. I never win anything.

BlogWorld – Day 1 Late Evening
After we ate dinner, half of us took a cab and the other half rode with Julie and Michael to New York New York. We parked but I figure that Julie might need a GPS tracking system to find her car at the end of the night. Colleen wanted to ride the roller coaster. I had never done it before, so I figured why not. Let me tell you, I won’t do it again. Great coaster — really bumpy though. Colleen ended up bruising her elbow and I bruised my leg. It still was pretty fun. After that, we headed over to Coyote Ugly to see Michael’s brother. Here’s the really awesome thing — he got us in VIP. It was so cool in there. Here is a picture of the girls dancing on the bar:
I know the picture is super dark, so it may be hard to see. Thanks again Julie and Michael! After Coyote Ugly, we headed over to Harrah’s to meet up with several other bloggers that had arrived. You may have seen pictures of the traveling boa on others blogs. I think everyone at some point had it on (whether a picture got taken or not). I left with Mr. Fab since we were taking the monorail the same direction. I know Julie ended up staying out super late (Michael went back to Coyote Ugly to talk to his brother). Since I don’t know how much she had to drink after I left, I wonder if she needed gps vehicle tracking to find her car. Needless to say, I was very happy to go to bed, since I was super tired by this time.
