If you're anything like me, you cannot believe it's going to be September already...which means that autumn really is right around the corner, with BlogHer's Reach Out Tour right along with it.

(And also if you're anything like me, you also haven't begun packing for your vacation even though your plane leaves tomorrow morning at dawn. Ahem.)

So before you head into the long Labor Day weekend for your final(ish) summer hurrahs, don't forget to make plans for BlogHer's Tour. We kick off in Boston in only 45 days!

I am happy to announce that now through September 12th BlogHer is running a new contest for BlogHer community members who bring a beginner to BlogHer's Reach Out Tour.

Heading to one of our six Reach Out Tour cities this October? The you'll want to pick up the code below to show your LocalBlogger pride:

UPDATED: I got the links for the Closing Keynote, Living the Truman Show, from Katy this afternoon, so I've added them below. It is in 8 segments on YouTube.

This post is just one big link-fest, mostly to point you to all the video taken by our official conference videographer, Katy Chen. To fill in the blanks on the Community Keynote I've also included links to some of Gena Haskett and Elaine from Wannabe Hippie's videos. At the end you will find a link to the videos you all submitted yourselves at the CNN iReport table.

==UPDATE: OK, the poll has been closed. With thousands of votes between the post-conference survey and this poll, I think we're all set. Thanks you so much everyone, not only for your votes, but also for the awesome civic pride on display in these comments :)

The leading contenders are:
Philadelphia
Portland
St. Louis

First part of the 1st ever BlogHer Community Keynote. Eden Kennedy curated Friday night's live blog readings. More will be posted, either in the comments section or at http://www.youtube.com/user/antkatprod.

At last year's BlogHer conference, I loved the mommyblogging
sessions. They were full of spirited, lively and intelligent
discussions. And the session I attended Friday morning was no exception. The question for all of these women...Is MommyBlogging still a radical
act? Moderated by Lindsay Ferrier, the panelists were: Polly
Pagenhart (Lesbian Dad), Maria (Immoral Matriarch), and Charlene Li
(Forrester's Groundswell and also blogs at svmoms.com)(If I didn't ID

Watch the space below as we continually update the links with live-blogs from each of the BlogHer '08 sessions!
