Wow, I wish I read this post before the event. It would’ve been really helpful for someone like me who attended the Blogapalooza for the first time. Hehe! Too bad I was busy during the few days before the event. I had a lot of fun though. It was quite an experience. I hope I get invited again to the next one. I’ll make sure to come 100% prepared. Hehe!
