I also had the good fortune to meet Jinni Hoggard. Jinni was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004, just months after I had moved here. Her journey was profiled in our newspaper, and even though I hadn't yet been diagnosed and wasn't yet paying much attention to BC, I did read some of her story in the paper. Her story, Jinni's Journal is archived online, and I'm going to go back and read the whole thing. To me, one of life's true pleasures is laughing and chatting with other Survivors & there's just a little something extra that flows from those who are "further out" than you. Jinni totally rocks!!
Jinni and Jayne
Elisa Camahort, founder of BlogHer, was one of the keynote speakers. She did a really good job conveying the massive cultural shifts that are happening because of blogs. Oh, and lest you think that political bloggers hold the monopoly on controversy, go check out this BlogHer post and all of the comments about Pink Ribbon Madness.

What a cool experience! I hadn't heard about this. Sounds like I missed out.
Well, I think it only gets better every year, so let's plan on it!
So nice to meet you. And having ConvergeSouth paired with BlogHer next year will make it event better!
Jayne,
It was great meeting you and I've enjoyed your site. Hope to see you around! Jinni
Hi Jayne, the conference sounded great. Greensboro isn't too terribly far from me (Richmond VA), maybe I can try for next year. What a bonus to run into Jinni too! Katie
P.S. Love your 'do. It's so long!
Hi Jayne!! I've been trying to comment on your blog, but my computer keeps messing up. I think this time it's going to work.
How fun to meet with a bunch of bloggers AND another BC sister.
