In 2007, BlogHer was in Chicago (great location, wonderful city). In 2008, BlogHer was in San Francisco: I made no secret about my disappointment with SF. I had waited, it felt like, eons to make it there and, well, it was no great shakes. Lovely weather, beautiful buildings but crazy expensive as all get out (don’t get me started), overrun with tourists and sadly, a really aggressive and disconcerting panhandling population. I don’t say that last bit lightly, as I live in a major city (Philadelphia) and am fairly well traveled. But this post isn’t about that. It’s about next year.
So now, the powers that be are plotting where to put BlogHer 2009. My answer? Philadelphia. It’s east coast, it’s an airport hub, we have trains, there are lots of great hotels and restaurants to fit all budgets. Yeah, that last part is key: it won’t cost you an arm and a leg. And Philly is friendly to bloggers.
But that’s just me.

I’d also love to hear your thoughts here on taxgirl!
