For the intro of each blogger, emcee M. Kennedy would mention a few of the person's favorite things.
Introducing Sheri Reed of Today Is Pretty, Mrs. K said her favorite drink was gin and tonic.
"Woo Hoo!" I shouted. I mean, no one loves the gin and tonic more than me, and I had to represent, right?
Wrong.
"....from which she has abstained for eight years," Mrs. Kennedy continued. The reader is a recovering alcoholic.
Those around me shifted nervously away. I moaned and put my head in my hands. Sheri then took the stage and proceeded to read this beautiful post about making amends.
Never let it be said that I go small when making an ass of myself.

OMG! I totally knew that was you, and I was sitting way in the back. :) It was SO much fun to meet you!
Oh, wait. #1? Will there be more?
Are you the one who used to shout "whoooo !!!!" evertime someone made a pot reference on the old "Fridays" show ????
When you told me it was you who did this, I loved you a little bit more. Just sayin'.
My Community Keynote embarrassment came when I had to practically remove the tablecloth to use as a tissue. Tim Gunn is wasted on BlogHers.
Who knew we would embarrass ourselves MORE in the audience than as performers last year?
Suebob, I am laughing so hard about this post. I mean, after all, I kinda set you up writing my bio that way. It's not your fault. OMG, I'm going to be laughing all night about this.
I have such a short attention span I never put the two together.
Heh. NOW who looks stupid?
had i been there, i'd have done the same thing. grace, it's a thing to aspire to, right?
What Deb said. I was convulsing and upsetting people around me. WAY TO BE, LADIES! ;) I blamed it on the solidarity of remembering what it was like to be backstage last year losing my shit, but I think it's just because I'm a wreck in general.
Yeah, it's good we can own it all here.
I love you and how well you embarrass yourself. :)
I love it. Even more that you wrote about it.
