I’m headed to Houston this weekend to moderate a panel at Mom 2.0.
Is it possible I’ll still be on pain meds from my mouth surgery? It’s possible. What’s certain is that I’ll be talking around a couple of retainers. So we’ll see how that goes.
The panel is about whether product placement is evil. What’s the subtle difference between paying your rent and whoring yourself? Is it cool to wear a bikini while you’re holding up the Coke can?
There’s still time to sign up to attend the conference, so hopefully I’ll see you there. I’ll be signing copies of my book before the panel. Also, Laura promised to teach me how to spit while I’m in Texas, so the Flickr stream should be worthwhile.
If I miss you this time, future plans include SxSW in Austin and Blogher in Chicago, though I’m not sure I’ll be speaking at either. Hopefully I’ll see you around.

Aww, learning to spit! I remember it like it was yesterday. My sister taught me when I was a little girl. And one day I’ll teach my own daughter how to manage to spit out the car window with out leaving a trace as you go 80+ on the highway. It’s a Texas thang. Enjoy Houston!

I can’t wait to hear your take on where respectable rent-earning and whoring intersect.
See you there!

While I won’t be at your conference (not a mommy, unless you count pets), if you need a faithful reader to take you out for a drink or some decadent ice cream, let me know!

You should check out an interactive show called 20×2 at SXSW if you can – http://www.20×2.org/ – shameless plug/recommendation since I’m friends with the guys who put this together each year.

First time hearing about this (just recently came back to blogging) and wish I could go. Tickets are a bit pricey though for last minute. Have fun while you are in my town!

Hi Maggie
I didn’t know you were coming to Houston for the Mom 2.0 Summit until the night before. What a great surprise. So nice to meet you! Keep staying lovely!
