Title: Are you Going to the Convention?
Post by lionsound on May 30th, 2007, 12:16pm
If you are... or thinking about it...what are you waiting for??!!  ;;D
It is too much fun to be missed!!!!

The Extra Special OUCH hotel room rate is only good if you book your room on or before June 12! Which is sooner than you think!

Also, it would be really helpful to me if you would please register online in advance so that I can feed you(menu and headcount) and clothe you(t-shirt size) and know to expect to see your smiling faces! :D

Click here and you'll find all the info.

And you'll be in great company as well.

Regardless of the spits and spats you see here on ch.com, I can assure you that any and all barriers melt away at convention.  I've never attended a blood family reunion where I had a better time or where people got along as well as clusterheads do at a meet and greet or convention.

Sad to say, not a chance. Money of course but more. I'll be spending a lot of time keeping afloat and getting advice from people who are supposed to know how to do stuff. Lots of stuff in the way this time.

Rats. I look forward to seeing all you loons next time though.

Niagara Falls would be nice next time too. Lots of wholesome native American gambling available too. Nothing like celebrating their heritage of selling cheap cigarettes, gasoline and gambling.  ::)

Sadly - not me either this year. :'(  Some family stuff that needs tending to.

Charlie - I sure do like your idea about Niagara Falls.  Maybe the powers that be would give some thought to that one.

Hope y'all have a wonderful time.

So Rori, since you are in charge of grubb and rags:

I like my felet' medium rare with a side of broiled mushrooms, Martini stirred, not shaken straight up with olive and my clothes washed in hypoalergenic detergent, ironed with no starch ;;D ;;D ;;D  LOL.

Is that an offer to host it? ;;D

Title: Re: Are you Going to the Convention?
Post by midwestbeth on May 30th, 2007, 6:58pm
Not this year, I will have family in town and it's too hard to get away from work in the summer.

I will definately be at Davcon in January.

Post by ClusterChuck on May 30th, 2007, 7:03pm
If you want a convention in your area, agree to host it!

Put in an application to O.U.C.H. and tell them about it.  Every year, they look at what proposals have been submitted, and then select one from them.

Lionsound (Rori) will help (I hope) as she as done the past few.  She is experienced and VERY good!  BUT, she lives up in the FAR northeast, and can't do the local running around.

I am trying to convince the Oregon crowd to host next year!   It is freakin GORGEOUS over there (even if Cathi DOES live there), and we have not been in the northwest since the Vancouver convention, and most (including me) were not around here then.

BUT, Cali, Texas, Niagra, where ever, O.U.C.H. picks from the places YOU are willing to host!

PUT your applications in NOW!!!  The sooner the better!

Not this year for me either. Can't afford to take any time off until this project deadlines July 18th.  Sales goals for this annual progress publication are more than double what they were last year.   >:(

   Rori, as you know I will have to wait for a couple more weeks before I know for sure. I don't care about the special price being over or if I get my goodie bag. I just wanna see my friends and will be there if at all possible. I never care where it is hosted, Ruth and I will be there unless health prevents it.

    I sure hate reading about some of my close friends not being able to attend this year though. That sucks.

Bro, I totally agree.  I was at Lake Powell and the Glen Canyon Dam 10 years ago.  I have seen a lot of places here in the USA, but that is the most amazing.  A true wonder.

Not yet sure if i can make it to RichCon.  I will be in AZ (just 100 miles away from Lake Powell) during that time, but maybe, just maybe, can go to VA for 2 days and return to AZ.

Lets keep our fingers crossed.

Sadly, I cannot attend this year.  I will be attending trial and hoping for the best outcome that is possible.

I will miss everyone there, and I hate missing yet another gathering of family and friends.

If you can find anyway at all to make it to a convention, it is WELL worth every penny and an experience not likely to be forgotten.

Unfortunately won't be able to attend again this year!!  This group has changed so much since I attended in Nashville, and I sure would love the chance to meet so many people that have joined our ranks since then!  We have to have at least doubled in number!!  Or so it seems!!  (Or at least, doubled in number of active people who post, and so on...)

The past few years, the convention is always at the tail end of my family vacation down the shore, which is the only vacation we take as an entire family anymore - so that's why I haven't attended recently.  And this year, I'm double booked!  Our shore vacation ends the Saturday of the convention, but we're cutting it a day short to travel to Ohio (Cleveland area) for my childhood best friend's wedding!

Will be with you all in spirit, however!!!

Hugz and PF wishes,
Carrie :)

Hopefully next year, it depends. But I can't wait to attend one one of these days.

And those who are going... take your cameras with you and LOADS of pictures for the rest of us to see! :)

Again we can't attend :( Too close to our move to Florida.  2 kids and a move that huge (from NH) is quite huge.  So our budget will be drained.  Maybe next year guys!  Have a blast all!!!!!!!!!!  I'll be green with jealousy again ;)

Nope.  I wish I could make it, but I'll be moving in the middle of July and then the wedding is a few weeks later.  Pray for my sanity......ha ha!

I hope everyone has loads of fun!!!

Not to worry.  Everyone that goes will have a blast.  

Those that don't go, but could have will be kicking themselves in the ass for not going as they sit at home watching the new pics being uploaded to the convention thread.
