Hey everyone! We're off to Detroit for the Creating Change conference! The other fine folks around here will have to keep you entertained while I'm driving through the snow. This is my first professional queer conference; going on a media pass to blog the conference is even better.

The website has grown so big over the past few months. I'm humbled that all of you stop by on a regular basis. Lately, we've hit a new high. Alexa ranks the web - all billions of sites - and our position has zoomed to 191,000. Just a week ago it was 440,000. Hot damn.

You can help us grow further by joining our Facebook group or friending us on MySpace. For those social networkers amongst us, our posts tend to do well on Stumble, Digg, and Mixx but there's buttons for just about everything at the bottom of each post. Of course, if you haven't added TBP to your blogroll yet, I'd appreciate it if you would.

Tell you what, I'm in such a good mood I'll do a give-away. The person who leaves a comment with the most original way they helped spread the Bilerico word and build the site today will win a copy of the Inlaws & Outlaws movie on DVD. I'll check in once I'm settled into the hotel room and pick a winner.
