It’s only February, but the talk of and excitement for BlogHer ’09 in Chicago in JULY is in full swing. And it’s driving me CRAZY. Because, unless I can win a sponsorship, I won’t be attending. Which makes me VERY sad. Because those three days in San Francisco last year were so much fun, I learned so much, and I met so many amazing people…the thought of missing out on it all is enough to send me into a full on depressive state. And no one wants that.
But then today (I’m always late to the party) I saw that there is a Label Daddy BlogHer ’09 Sponsorship contest going on…and a little light went off in my head.
Self, I said, Don’t just sit on your ass being bummed you’re missing out on BlogHer ’09, sit on your ass and write a post to try to win a sponsorship!
So, here we are. I thought I’d play around with Label Daddy’s wares and show you how I’d incorporate them into my life. These might not be traditional uses for labels or stickers, but what’s traditional about AMomTwoBoys, anyway?
Here you go:
And, YES, it would need to be ON HIS FOREHEAD. To ensure everyone is properly warned.
Just look at his room. Or my living room. Or my backyard. This kid is a MESS waiting to happen.
And if you think I wouldn’t actually order that label and use it, you’d be wrong. VERY wrong.
Okay, so their stickers aren’t NEARLY big enough for this purpose, but I couldn’t help myself.
But you might be thinking to yourself- “Self, isn’t this about BlogHer? Shouldn’t she incorporate BlogHer into her post?”
And so I give you these, my ideas for labels to take to BlogHer and attach to my friends:
I could seriously do this ALL THE LIVE LONG DAY. It’s kind of like Twitter, but on crack, because you only have 15 characters with which to work. That makes it muy dificil.
Label Daddy seems to be a great site for people who ACTUALLY need labels for stuff…like for your kid’s day care, camp clothes, sporting goods, etc. At this point, all I’m focused on is coming up with the next great label for BlogHer ’09 in the hopes that Label Daddy sees the genius behind my creative process and decides to sponsor me.
I can PROMISE them that I’ll be a ton of fun to take along. If you agree, leave a comment so they can see how much support I’ve got! We’ve only got until tomorrow!

Dear Label Dude:
Please send Meghan to BlogHer. It won’t be the same without her. Who else will make me look not so lame, when I fall asleep at 10pm, than my lovely friend Meghan, who falls asleep at 9pm. Come on, help a girl out.
Thanks, Issa
M- completely adore that last label. I want one.

Dear Generous Contest Sponsor,
I work with high school students. Which means I spend most of my day listening to whining. If Meg doesn’t get to go to BlogHer, I will have to endure more whining. Whining of the mommy blogger variety, and I’m sure you know, we can outwhine just about anyone. So please. For me.
Seriously, though…
Meghan is a super cool blogger who has done so much for all of us “little” bloggers through AllMediocre. She really represents what blogging communities are all about. If she doesn’t deserve to go, then I honestly can’t imagine anyone who does.
Trust me on this one…pick A Mom Two Boys.

Dear Label Daddy-O
Frankly, if Meghan doesn’t get there, BlogHer’09 shouldn’t even be held. She is what that conference is all about. She has, single-handedly, created a wonderful community of bloggers who would stand in line for the chance to have her put one of your labels (like the fuchsia one above) on our foreheads.
You could not have a better representative there for you. Please send her!
Regards,
A Label Fan

Dear Benevolent Daddy,
Please send Meghan to BlogHer09. I met her in San Francisco last year and had such a great time getting to know her, and now, after a year of reading her blog, would love to meet again.
As to her character, Meghan is a natural extrovert, meeting and networking with bloggers. There is nothing cliquey about her, she is welcoming to everyone, N00B and experienced alike. She is an excellent member of the blogging community and should be at the conference. Please send her!
Sincerely,

Words cannot describe how much BlogHer would SUCK without Meghan. You realize she invented All Mediocre, right? And that she is close personal friends with Guy Kawasaki, King of the Internets? And that if Meghan doesn’t go to BlogHer Amy in Ohio will blame you and you do NOT want to make her angry.

Dearest Label Daddy –
PLEASE send Meghan. I’ve got nothing more creative than what was already said above to add. Except…. maybe she’ll knit you something! Do you need a hat? She rocks with the knitting needles! What better reason to choose her??

Send her, dammit, I’m already feeling shy and insecure just thinking about her not being there. Wait, not about me. Send her because she’s hilarious and fun and we all want to see her.
Please?
(Wish I could sponsor you!)

Dearest Label Daddy-
Please Daddy, don’t disappoint me. I mean I already have Daddy issues with my Dad being…well, being him. I never got what I asked for growing up. Now all I really want is for Meghan to be at BlogHer09-it isn’t too much is it? If it was you wouldn’t be holding this contest. You need to send her.
plus I agree with Heather…. I have seen Amy in Ohio give the “what for” to someone and dude, I totally don’t think that you want to be on the receiving end of that.
Thanks so much, Daddy. I knew I could count on you!

Dearest Label Daddy,
Please, please, please send Meghan to Blogher? Pretty please?!?! I would absolutely without a DOUBT wear as many labels as it takes the entire weekend just so Meghan could be there with us. I especially LOVE the Pink I<3AM2B one.
Meghan, I can’t wait to meet you in Chicago, because I know that Label Daddy will listen to us all and send you on your way!!! Right LD?
Always and Forever,

Dear LabelDaddy,
Am I too late? If I am I may have to come there in person to rough you up, oh I mean, convince you how much we NEED Meghan to be at BlogHer’09. Be a good daddy and help her go, would ja? Thanks. I wouldn’t want to have to mess with your pretty face.
merlotmoms last blog post..The Upside of the Economic Downturn
As Meghan’s mother I always taught her not to “label” people -
but I take it all back – she could help YOU label the world!!
And I mean that in the nicest way.
I want some “I licked AM2B” labels please. Plus it’s purple with a cupcake? Does a label get any better?
I hope you get to go Meghan!!!
Jasmines last blog post..Matt and Monica + 3
The labels you made are HILARIOUS!
The camp pack on the label daddy website is amazing! Working at a summer day camp, I can tell you that when a kid’s stuff isn’t labeled and they lose it, it sure does make getting the right stuff back to the right camper really hard to do. Labels are good for the camper (so we can get their stuff back to them), good for the counselor (makes our jobs easier), and good for the parent (who sometimes like to get mad at us because their kid can’t keep track of his/her stuff).
Hope you get to go to BlogHer!

Dear Big Daddy Lord Of the Labels!
Meghan needs to win this contest! She is obsessed with 3 things. Blogging, yarn, and her boys. And in that order, too because blogging and yarn doesn’t talk back. (Well not as much as 3 year olds do). So Big Daddy-o send her away so that she can have a few days away from her lovely boys.
I’m too busy cracking up over Heathers post that I can’t think of anything to write EXCEPT:
Label Daddy … if you don’t sponser my lovley friend, and take her ass to BlogHer’09, not only will the people miss out on some seriously awesome labels, but we her friends who get to see her on a regular basis will have to listen to her bitch about how she’s not there and I don’t know if there’s enough booze for that. So spare us all and PLEASE send her a ticket !!
Hit me, Big Daddy!
I’m a BlogHer virgin and need MEGHAN to be there to ease Stacey’s feelings of inadequacy. Help a sister (or three) out!
Manic Mommys last blog post..WWSD – What Would Stimey Do (Part Deux)?
Hi Label Daddy!
I really think you should send Meghan to BlogHer, and I’m willing to make you a deal. See, I have two kids in daycare who require labels in everything. Seriously. This caught me off guard last year and I ended up buying a small # of labels that I am unhappy with. So, here’s what I think we should do. YOU send Meg to BlogHer and I’LL buy ALL of my labels from you for now on! It’s a win-win (not a bribe – I swear)!
Also, you say you’re looking for a Label Daddy ambassador, Meg is totally your girl. Not only does she have HUNDREDS of bloggers resistered on her AllMediocre website, but she CANNOT keep her mouth shut, and she’ll make you a fortune there. In fact, that’s a way better reason to pick her, but I like you guys, so I’ll still get my labels from you.
Thanks, Label Daddies (and mommies)!
ps: you should start marketing those “I’m allergic to boring people” labels. Pure genius.
Really, she has to go to BlogHer. I suspect (thought I have no empirical proof) that they can’t move ahead with BlogHer unless they know Meghan will attend. Plus, she’s got a direct line to Guy Kawasaki, you know.
And, right here, she’s sent you any number of customers, and that’s got to be worth a trip to Chicago.
Did I say please yet?
Thanks, Label Daddy.

So, hi there, Daddy-O. I may be a bit late to this little party o’ love for Meghan, but I just wanted to add my share of AM2B lovin’ to the pot… AND sneak in this little suggestion: if you REALLY love Meghan, you should not only sponsor her trip, but ALSO one for me, since what she really, really needs to do at BlogHer (though she might not know it yet) is drink wine with MEEEEEE
Oh, yeah, and learn about blogging and stuff. Whatever.

Who’s Meghan’s daddy? Label Daddy! Please send this creative, thoughtful and proactive mama to BlogHer09 on your house because she takes lots of pictures and tells us all exactly what went down. And since I can’t go – I really need that to happen, mmmk? So do the right thing… send the lady to BlogHer09!!!

Dear Label Daddy… send her or face the wrath of all the women who’ve commented previous to me. Do you really want that many women upset at you? Do you think you’d be safe in anything other than a nuclear fallout shelter?
Didn’t think so.
