BlogHim 08′ in New York City was a phenomenal success. Although we had no sponsors like Blogher, no swag (Dockers had promised to supply us with some free giveaways, but never came through), and received no attention from the media or kindly General Motors, we all had a great time meeting up with old blogging friends. And isn’t that what blogging is all about?
Two male bloggers discussing ways to increase their readership.
BlogHim had no money to pay for a hotel conference room, so most of the sessions took place at Neil’s Coffee Shop on Lexington. Participants really enjoyed the free coffee refills and the way the waiteress said “Be right with you, Hon.”
One of the most popular BlogHim sessions was about new ways for Daddybloggers to monetize their children. There was a good deal of heated discussion. Many men were angry that the Mommybloggers received all the free Wiis.Â
“We just get the viagra ads” said one Daddyblogger. “Why do marketers think that because we have children we can’t get it up anymore?”
Barry, a male “Alpha” blogger from Tennessee asked the one question that was on every Daddyblogger’s mind. “What was the point of having children if you can’t make money off of them on your blog?”
But it was Andrew “TexasDad” who came up with the answer, inspiring the crowd with his keynote speech, “Why Daddyblogging is a Still a Radical. Act”
“We are men. We must use our logical male minds and think out of the box! Why go the same route as the the women? Are we men or a bunch of pussies? If we are unable to monetize our children with our daddyblogs, let’s follow another path. Let’s force our children to run a marathon in Central Park when it is a 100 degrees outside and BET ON THEM like a horse race!”
It was just then that the Guy Kawasaki Challenge was born!
The daughters did us especially proud!  Some of us made a ton of money from the betting pool.
The highlight of the day was when the sons raced.  These young men are the underappreciated male personal bloggers of the future, so we pushed them extra hard. Some of the more clever Daddybloggers even told their sons that they were going to abandon them and leave them in New York if they didn’t win!
It was hilarious to see how much pressure was put on the wimpier boys and to watch them fall in frustration!
The weekend consisted of one fabulous session after another, all catered to the male blogger. On this weekend, we were ALL Alpha Male Bloggers:
Session One:Â “Why You Should Never Share Anything with a Woman”
Session 2:Â “Dog Pee is bad for the Environment, But Even Al Gore Pees in the Shower.”
Session 3:Â “Question Authority”
Session 4:Â “Why a Really Nice Piece of Ass is Better than a Good Humor Bar”
Thanks all! See you Next Year at BlogHim 09! Remember — Keep your chins up and your c*cks hard.  We are MEN!
