I'm SO excited to be attending this years convention in Dallas...it will be my first time to meet another clusterhead in person and I am totally stoked!

Unfortunately my husband won't be able to accompany me this year so I'm wondering if there are any other ladies who are traveling solo and would want to share a room.

I'm a respectful individual, clean up after myself in the bathroom and don't snore...

I'll actually be arriving in Dallas on the 10th so I'm looking at getting a room for 3 nights. If anyone is interested, please send me a message.

Thanks, Danielle

I hope it was alright to post this here... ::)

Yep this was the right place. I am sure you can find some takers when the time gets closer.

BTW, I right clicked your red x where the pic is suppose to be and if you take away a couple of those // after http, the pic will probably show.

I'm still too busy getting excited about Davcon to start getting excited about Dallas. At my age that much excitement could easily kill me. :o

However!!! It's on my calendar and it's my goal to drag my better half to this one to once and for all squelch the rumors that my wife exists only in my mind!!!!! ;;D

My wife and I will definitely be there, especially since you're coming to our city!  Austin was fun in '07, and we're very happy that Texas met with your approval.

If you need any info on Dallas let us know what you're after, and we can point you in the right direction.

I'm going to try to make it...

I've been on and off on this board for years.  Moved to texas last year from Ohio.  I live in Austin now.

My clusters have been really bad this year... my cycle has gone 3 months longer than usual.  

Look forward to meeting you.....

 I don't remember you Mark, but that's o.k.  You are family here and we welcome you with open arms.

I'm Linda,  and if you will introduce yourself when you get there, I'll make certain that you are made to feel at home.

 Bring baked goods.   Or Texas BBQ'ed ribs.   Or chili.  



I'm kidding.  ;;D

I've wanted to visit USA again for such a long time. Now, all I need to do it to figure out how to make it happen this time around... ;;D

It could be that Timo will visit North America long before the convention, we shall see about that.

Title: Re: Open for business
Post by Gator on Jan 28th, 2008, 12:38pm
Sorry.  We are waiting to have the contract with the hotel signed and in place before it is announced.  You know how last minute things can jump up and bite you in the backside.  I'd hate to announce it and have some people make reservations only to have to change them.

I'm majorly stoked that Professor Goadsby will be there.

I hated to miss RichCon and going back through the video clips of Milwaukee (http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings/milcon06/video.htm) has given me serious clusterhead withdrawals.

I can't wait to see everyone again and to see some of my cluster family for the first time!

Is it July, yet??!!?!?!?

Gonna do my best to make it this year. Things are kind of hectic this year as I am the only one in the family working rightnow( at least for income). Trevor's mom is working her ass off. We had already planned a family trip to Alabama to visit some relatives close to that time so I'm not sure I can get off from work again. But I will try my best.  It really sucks that I've been around for this long and still never met any of you face-to-face.

Good morning,
I think I read on a post, that of course I can't find now, that the great Dr. Goadsby is going to be speaking. Is this right or am I totally off my rocker? Rhetorical question I already know I am rocked off.....
Anyway as someone who has been doing LOTS of research and seeing his name everywhere I would love the opportunity to hear him speak on and for just US!
I have never met another clusterhead either.
thanks

Unfortunately, due to web space limitations, the entire presentation will not be available for download.  Every effort will be made to record the highlights of the presentations as well as the rest of the convention and make them available.

   THIS really pi$$es me off.  Give me and my co-horts one hour with you at a convention and we'll set you straight.  ;;D

 We'd like to meet your hubby, we'll be so nice and sweet HE will be wanting to come to the next convention.  Trust me.
 We'll also make sure you take away a lot of education about  these HA's as well as a rapport(sp) with others who suffer that you will never forget.  It is like a family reunion without the dysfunction.

There truly is nothing like it.

Since I have not been to a convention yet I'm going to try to make it,besides I have never been to Texas. I know I told everybody at Davcon that would not be able to make it to the convention cause of the little ones and whatnot but I've been talking to the wifeypoo and there is a slim possibility that we will come.

Gator, how much web space is needed?  I can help with some spare gigabytes at ired.com, and maybe some other webmasters could help share the load.

Becky

Title: Re: Open for business
Post by Gator on Feb 22nd, 2008, 8:43am
Good idea, Becky!  I'm not sure how much space we would need.  At the 2006 convention, we had over 10GB of raw video, that I cut into highlight clips.  It will depend on how much footage we have and in what format and resolution the video is saved.  

Thanks for the idea and the offer.  I will get back with you on this.

Mike

What Bill MEANT TO SAY..is there is a lot of hugging at conventions.  Both for those of us who already know each other in person as well as for newcommers who make it to their 1st. one.  Shaking hands is just out of the question.   Linda

To Tojokom and bride:

  Your presence is most certainly invited, wanted and appreciated at the next OUCH convention this July in Dallas, Tx.

   R.S.V.P. through registration is  required.

Is that enough of an invite or does she need more?  In fact tell her to call me  ((530) 224-9515     Seriously

Every clusterhead, clusterhead supporter, doctor, medical researcher, media representative, pharmaceutical and insurance industry representative and any other interested individual is very much invited to this and every OUCH convention.

I look forward to meeting with all my long time cluster family and to meeting my new brothers and sisters in Dallas this year!

See Y'all There!!!
