Oh I so hear you! I wanted to go but had that dread and was honestly a bit relieved when circumstances dictated that I not go. I did find out later that a lot of bloggers that I considered more similar to me (won't name names to protect their reps, heh) were going and I probably would have had a great time.

Don't let life coach Tim read this comment, but yeah, there are times I feel completely uncomfortable, gawky and unsophisticated in this whole blogging world. I'm goofy, doofy and all those other adjectives that end in y and sometimes it feels like we're supposed to take this whole business a lot more seriously than I'm constitutionally able to do. 

That said, I'm making tentative plans to go next year and lead the dorky, gawky, unpolished brigade. You know, the tribe that gets uncontrollable giggles at the notion of being in a tribe.
