Road Trip Recap – Day 1

by Christie - The ChatterBox on July 23, 2009

in BlogHer,Where are The BlogRollers?

If you were on twitter at any point yesterday, you have an idea of how our first day on the BlogHer or Bust Road Trip was. In a word H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S! We could not have a better or funnier group of women stuck in a Chevy! So here are the highlights…

The BlogRollers Log:

Star Date: Wednesday July 22, 2009

Start Time: 10:00AM EST

Weather: Overcast and sporadic rain

First Driver: Wifey

Second Driver: My Brown Baby

Overnight Stop: Hyatt Place Hotel - Louisville, KY

Music: Old school rap on XM, OutKast, Carrie Underwood, Black Eyed Peas, Captain & Tennielle, A Tribe Called Quest, Frankie Beverly & Maze…for starters

Most Eventful Moment: Broadcasting The ChatterBox Show LIVE from the Traverse using the the OnStar System.

New Friends We Met Along the Way: Mike and Valerie the OnStar operators (who laughed at us a lot), The folks from Cracker Barrel in Murfreesboro, Tennesee, Alyssa Middleton of Vintage Body Spa!

Something We Learned About The ChatterBox: And we quote “I don’t wear stockings for nobody!”

Something We Learned About My Brown Baby: She really has no clue how to use Twitter (could not remember her password) but we taught her.

Something We Learned About FutureMama: She is from Atlanta (the south) and does not like corn bread, yams, collard greens, and turkey BUT she likes okra and chitterlings!! (What tha?) Oh… and eats ketchup on salmon!

Something We Learned About Wifey: She too does not like corn bread or collard greens. (Oh the horror!)

Funniest Thing Said Along The Way: From My Brown Baby – “What is it…number…car…blog riders?” (translation…”What is the carpool hashtag?”).

Most Embarrassing Moment: Hotel management knocking on the door to tell us they were getting complaints that we were too loud. (Who us?)

Late Night Discussion: Our rational (and irrational) fears… The ChatterBox is afraid of amusement park characters. MyBrownBaby and Future Mama are afraid of spiders. Wifey is afraid of pigeons.

End Time: Somewhere around 2:00 AM

Stay tuned for the next day’s adventures. Follow along on twitter so you don’t miss a thing! Also check out the BlogRollin’ Cam in the sidebar and our posts…

Sounds like you guys are having a blast! Wish I could be there too. :-)

Wifey, my first interview is up today…if you all get bored, you can upload it to an MP3 and laugh at my very apparent nervousness and perhaps offer me some advice on how to improve my "journalistic" interviewing skills…turned out pretty well though, my guest was very entertaining!

You ladies sound like you are having the time of your lives…no shame in your game. It's not a slumber party unless hotel management knocks on your door to tell you to pipe down. ;-)
