Eat. Drink. Blog. What I’m looking forward to…

Only 5 sleeps until Eat. Drink. Blog. The Australian Food and Drink Blogger’s Conference.

AND. I. CANNOT. WAIT. !!!!

I have wanted to go to another food blogger’s conference ever since I went to BlogHer Food in San Francisco last October {I also want to go again when it is on in Seattle in June 2012 – anyone want to sponsor me?}. I had SUCH A BLAST! I think the best part was getting to talk to a heap of other bloggers and learn what they love, what their blogs are about and, of course, getting lots of advice on how to be a better blogger. I came home so inspired!

But…

after a year filled with life, love and drama, that inspiration is waning a bit.

So I was SO EXCITED to be told I had a spot at Eat. Drink. Blog.

This is what I’m looking forward to the most:

• actually getting there. Shouldn’t be a problem. I now have flights booked with Qantas AND Virgin. Yes, I panic booked Virgin flights on Sunday. 
• meeting bloggers who to date I’ve only been chatting to on blogs or on twitter 
• being inspired by the amazing line up of speakers 
• learning more about food styling and food photography – two areas I am aware that I lack a few {ok, a lot} of skills in
• meeting Jules from Stonesoup – her blog is one of my favourites despite my having no idea how to cook with only 5 ingredients… and her photography is just gorgeous
• meeting Valerie Khoo who I sometimes talk to on twitter, because we have many mutual friends. And because I want to be a better writer.
