The California Table

California Cuisine with a Coastal Vibe

BlogHer 2011 Highlights

I’m still sorting through the tons of photos, notes and swag I collected – not to mention business cards of some fabulous bloggers! – but wanted to start sharing highlights with you. Over the course of three days I met Ree Drummond and Kathryn Finney and got some great tips from two of the top media-focused bloggers on improving my blogging. I watched and learned from Penny de los Santos as she expanding my understanding of photography, teaching me to go from “taking pictures” to “making pictures.” And I cooked risotto with bad boy celeb chef Marco Pierre White, a process that requires focus and patience but results in a heavenly smooth risotto that I could eat every day for a year.

Oh, and I danced my heart out to Lady Gaga’s Edge of Glory in the BlogHer 11 Operation Glory flash mob!! Video coming soon, or you can click this link from NBC San Diego and watch the video there.

    aaahhh I was dying of jealously the whole time everyone was tweeting about blogher. It sounds like it was amazing this year. I’m already planning to go to next years
