Often times, you'll find people sharing helpful advice, such as: how to succeed in the business world. How to meet and influence people. How to deliver a baby (only necessary if you're an amateur, unlike me). How to survive a monkey attack (necessary if you're afraid of monkeys, like me).
Because I love you all very much, I'm going to give you some important advice, titled: "Things to do at a blogging event to make sure you are never, ever invited to another blogging event. Ever.*"
1. Forget to pack jeans. Then spill coffee on your yoga pants, so not only are you wearing yoga pants, you're wearing STAINED yoga pants.
2. When you arrive, make sure your bladder is so full that instead of saying hi to people, you have to shove everyone out of the way to make it to the bathroom.
Once you've gone to the bathroom, stumble across a closet containing baseball bats. Proceed to tell people you've never met that you're going to need a Louisville Slugger tonight, "just in case" an axe murderer shows up.
3. Decide that this is going to be the weekend of NO UTENSILS. Solidify this by shoving whole cupcakes in your mouth.
4. When you meet someone you really admire for the amazing things she does, don't tell her that you really admire her and you're so excited to meet her. Don't even tell her that you think she has really gorgeous hair. Instead, spill wine all over her sweater.
5. When everyone is sharing profound, amazing, deep reasons why they blog, state that you blog because you like to hear yourself talk. It helps to have a friend back you up on this, lest anyone think you're joking.
*Before you think I'm being entirely tongue in cheek, I did, in fact, do everything on this list. I also had such an amazing time at Cupcake10 that I'm going to be a little--okay, a LOT--sad when I'm blacklisted from Cupcake11

you crack me up! Sounds like a fun time!
I'm totally sad that in the 36 hours we were there, I never really got to meet/talk to you, so you'd better not be blacklisted from Cupcake11.
I loved meeting you! Two nights would have been better. I felt like I hardly got to talk with you either. But I did get some quality time with Rocket Man, so that is what really matters, no?
Funny post. You crack me up. :)

You didn't?? Really??
Oh man.. I think I love you more!
Sorry you'll have to miss Cupcake '11. Glad to know there are bats there so everyone can use them against you next year!
you're funny!
This almost makes me want to start blogging more so I can be in on the fun.
All of those sound like thing I totally would have done :) Especially the yoga pants thing.. man I love yoga pants.
Hahaha, if they ban you they are so silly, clearly you are excellent entertainment. And I like hearing you talk to, so hey, you could make me the reason you blog. If that helps.
I LOVE that picture! Hi-lar-ri-ous!
LOL, you are too, too funny!
Sounds perfectly NATURAL to me! So happy you had such a wonderful time!!
If you get banned, you and I will have our own cupcake weekend where we will eat cupcakes, chew with our mouths open, spill wine on purpose, and maybe even eat so much pizza that nearly an entire bottle of rum does nothing to us.... (not that we've ever done that....)
I think you are too funny to be blacklisted. ;) It was great meeting you - wish we had more time to get to know each other!
Wha? You blacklisted from Cupcake? NO.WAY.
I love you - for so many reasons. Including every single reason in this post.
(btw...I spilled coffee on my yoga pants today on my way to my appointment. Reminded me of you.)
They all sound like perfectly normal things to do to me. If you are blacklisted next year, we'll form a Coffeecake11. Sounds like you all had a lot of fun.
is it sad that i was jealous of your coffee stained yoga pants? bc man did you look comfy :)
I do feel partially responsible for Maggie's wine stained sweater. So so fun to meet you and hold your sweet lovable Tommy. I need to see his smile again. RIGHT NOW!

This totally cracks me up! Thanks for the laughs on a Monday night. :)
Oh, and I am not laughing AT you of course... with you. Yeah... with you. ;-)
I love you even when you spill wine on Maggie Dammit and constantly have to pee while shoving a gazillion cupcakes in your mouth. You just rock, Erin. Plain and simple. :)
Totally taking notes here...
You are hilarious. And if I was there, I would have fought you over cupcakes and all the other yummies. Because I think you have met your match in food-loving with me. :)
LOVE it. Spilling things is so under-rated as entertainment.
You are my hero for shoving that whole doggone thing in your mouth! YES!!!
Wish I coulda been there to do it with you...
Seriosuly hilarious! You know that wine you spilled on someone's sweater made for one fantastic picture (don't you love their great expressions in the picture Steph posted today where Elizabeth is so gracefully trying to cover the stain)!
what a hoot.. so do tell what was up with the closet full of baseball bats??
LOL! I'm loving the tag "I'm awesome (except not)"
I felt so lucky to have finally met you! Also...I totally loved snuggling Tommy while you were in the shower!
When he laid his little head on my shoulder...my heart melted, for serious. :-)
That is so awesome! That is the kind of blogging event that I would love to be at...but I don't really feel like enough of a blogger to go to events. I just blog for the sake of blogging...not really for any point. But if I was going to go to one...Cupcake10/11 is the kind that I would love to go to. I'm too shy...something small would be nice.
Oh my goodness that is hilarious :-)
Oh what funny thoughts, because I think some of those could have come from so many of our mouths at some time or another.
Glad you had a great time and the Tommy got to soak up some cupcake love too!
That sounds like so much fun.
Wonderfully funny! I love it!
