Title: 2006 OUCH Convention INFO!
Post by Racer1_NC on Nov 3^rd, 2005, 12:37pm

We are very excited to announce:

The Organization for Understanding Cluster Headaches Annual Convention 2006
When: Thursday July 13, 2006-Sunday July 16 2006
Where: Country Springs Hotel, Water Park, Conference Center
Waukesha, WI (right outside of Milwaukee)

Room rates: $109.00 single or double, Children 16 years and under may share the same room with
parents at no additional charge. A charge of $10 per person will be added for each additional adult over two. Rates include a deluxe continental breakfast (Monday through Friday), USA Today (Monday through Friday) and free local phone calls. Room rate also includes wireless Internet in your room and throughout the hotel. Parking is free.

Country Springs Hotel, Water Park, Conference Center
2810 Golf Road, PO Box 2269
Waukesha, WI 53187-2269
262-547-0201
1-800-247-6640
http://countryspringshotel.com/default.aspx

Please give the OUCH group name when registering for this very reduced rate.

The 2006 convention will include Friday breakfast, dinner, and ALL Saturday meals. The fee will be announced early next year. We are currently working on major sponsorship for the convention to alleviate a large portion of the cost to our members.

It will include speakers and program on Friday and Saturday with plenty of time left for socializing. And of course we will have our banquet, auction and entertainment too!

If you would like to volunteer and help, please post here or PM Rori (lionsound).

We look forward to seeing you, your supporters, and your families there!!!

The hotel website tells you that there are no vacancies during the convention time frame when you try to make reservations online. This is not the case. O.U.C.H. has reserved a block of rooms for the convention. Please use the 1-800 number listed above to make your reservations and give the OUCH group name when registering for this very reduced rate.

The 2006 convention will include Friday breakfast, dinner, and ALL Saturday meals. The fee will be announced early next year. We are currently working on major sponsorship for the convention to alleviate a large portion of the cost to our members.

It will include speakers and program on Friday and Saturday with plenty of time left for socializing. And of course we will have our banquet, auction and entertainment too!

If you would like to volunteer and help, please contact Rori at convention@ouch-us.org.

We look forward to seeing you, your supporters, and your families there!!!

Speaking on Friday, July 14, 2006:

TBA

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Speaking on Saturday July 15, 2006:

Andrew Sewell, M.D.

Dr. Andrew Sewell received a BA in physics from Cornell University, a degree in medicine from the University of Connecticut Medical School in Hartford, completed a double residency in neurology and psychiatry at the University of Massachusetts in Worcester, and now works at the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Research Center at Harvard Medical School. He originally started studying cluster headache only in order to answer a fairly academic question about the relationship between abnormal neuroendocrine response by the hypothalamus and increased incidence of substance abuse, but quickly found it to be such and interesting yet understudied disorder that he is now trying to start a research program entirely devoted to cluster headache.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Speaking on Saturday July 15, 2006:

John Halpern, M.D.

Dr. Halpern is a Harvard Medical School instructor of psychiatry and as associate director of substance abuse research at Harvard University's McLean Hospital and is at the forefront of a revival of research into psychedelic medicine. He recently received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to give late-stage cancer patients the psychedelic drug MDMA, also known as ecstasy. He is also laying the groundwork for testing LSD as a treatment for cluster headaches.

Hi! I don't really get on this site a lot and post, but I must admit reading about this convention makes me want to join in the fun [smiley=laugh.gif]. You guys sound like a roudy bunch. Since I have been having these cluster headaches, fun has almost been out of the question. Alcohol has not touched these lips in quite some time, but willing to live it up with people like you. Hoping to get time off to join in the fun!

I am so glad you will be able to make the convention. I am looking forward to finally meeting.

Melissa, Liz & Rori will be better able to answer your question on the airport information, but the weather in Milwaukee in July is as follows. I had to look it up and converted it for you as I am certain you do not use Farenheight in Switzerland.

Average high in Milwaukee. 27 c
Average low 17c

Hi Melissa

Tks. for the Info.
The Swiss flight is from Zurich non-stop to O'Hare. No direct flights to Milwaukee so will have to live with the 2h. car drive......... what looks like will be a very long day (week end)
But still looking forwards to take part in the Convention, and meet (if not all) some of this (grate) virtual (for me) family I was forced in - and so grateful I have you all.

Michael, you need to phone the hotel to book the room.

Also, easiest thing to do is book your flight where you fly into Chicago, and then take another smaller connecting flight to Milwaukee. Whenever we fly out of Milwaukee to another country or to California, we always have a connecting flight through Chicago's O'Hare airport (due to it being an international airport).

Just sitting here alone after midnight and looking at the flighttickets to Milwaukee.

The butterflies in my tummie for the trip still makes trouble .Feels like an atomic war down there.

Im so filled with joy,happiness and exitement to finally meet my dear clusterfamily again.

Some of you i have never met and you are just as close as the clusterheads i did meet in Nashville back in 04.

Just wish someone did know how to speed up the time so we did not have to wait so long

Hey Everyone!

Still trying to figure out if I can make it out this year. Just have to see if I can afford it. Hopefully in July I can get some more clips up online from stuff I shot in Davenport and Nashville still. I really want to go, just have to see in a couple weeks and make a decision. Thanks!

Hope everyone is well!

Justin,

By all means, reserve your room by June 14 and then cancel it later if you can't make it. This is the drop-dead date for reservations, and we'd hate to see you decide you can make it at the last minute only to find yourself without a room.

Ahhh Yes!!!!!!

Things are working out and it looks like Blake & I will both be able to attend the convention this year.

Now.....all we have to do is figure out how to get through/around Chicago....it's a mess with all the construction.

Looking forward to seeing all the old friends again and meeting the newbies....... :-*

In the words of 'the king'....ROCK-N-ROLL.... ;;D

Whew! Just spent some time reading through this entire thread and trying to make a list of people who are coming (sort of a cheat sheet so I can try to remember names) ;) There's a BUNCH! I'm getting so excited! Does anyone have a complete head count? Looks like a pretty good turnout.

Thanks! Now I can cram for the final exam! Just have to figure out who is who and match them up with screen names and I'll be good to go! Some of the people on the list are a given. ;;D I don't think I'll have a problem recognizing Jonny. ;;D

Yup Nani, 2 freegin weeks. weeeee!

I just booked my flight ;;D. I even had screwed up my reservation, and booked the return for Sat. , but the airline people were so nice! [smiley=headbanger.gif] The reservationist changed my res back to Sunday without the change fee. Woulda cost me over 100 bucks.

Guess things are taking a turn for the better, and its about TIME!

See you guys soon.. Oh Lizz, where are you? Need to arrange the pickup for Thursday a.m.

Smiles everyone!

It's with great sadness that I say that I will not be able to make it this year. I am a bit behind in paying the old credit card and I will be working this week regardless. Unfortunately I work freelance and can't turn down work when it comes. But I hope to see you sooner than later somewhere else down the road. I'm still plugging away at raising money to make my Clusterheads film and will keep everyone updated. Thanks again for all your support and warm wishes over the years. Have a drink or two for me!

best

Gary and I have family and friends in Chicago, which is why we're doubly sad we couldn't make the conference.

Just wanted to wish all of you good luck, safe travels, and have lots of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder what you're up to right now?

Hope tonight the answer is "no good." ;;D
