BlogHer?

Someone mentioned this upcoming event to me, maybe because it will be held in San Jose, CA:

BlogHer Conference '06

*not providing any link so I don't direct traffic to it

I have absolutely no interest whatsoever to be a part of it and I am definitely not promoting it in any way. I just can't believe people are serious about this "conference" and actually flying in from different part of the world to attend! Do they just want to attend some sort of a conference so badly to prove they "attended a conference" or these women just need an excuse to leave home and co-mingle with other women? This is completely beyond me.
