I'm glad you found them but what a pain that day must have been! Yes, the swag was overwhelming. I brought home 10 lbs of swag - I only know because my suitcase was 44 pounds on the trip to Chicago and 54 pounds coming home. I gave a good 75% of the swag to the swag swap table and I only attended two extra events (yours and the People's Party). The swag was insane. Oh and my daughter says thanks for the pink RideZ car, she slept with that thing last night!! Okay, I had to LOL when I read that the ID and card were at the bottom of the bag.

But I must say after hearing about a lot of things from several bloggers I think I'm glad I missed it this year. I would love meeting many bloggers but I think I'd like it in a smaller venue. :) I think this will be one of those things that you’ll laugh about… some day. :-)
