[BleedingHrt]

Gosh me and the girls can't wait to go. This is our 1st one and we are stoked. I just started sweeping in June 2006 and so far I've won a Conair Deluxe Foot Spa ($250). What should I expect at these Convention Things? I do plan on getting hammered :cheer4: everyday.... Tee hee.... Here's a few pix of me, boyfriend and 1 buddy who is coming to the Covention.... Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.... Take Care All.......... :jump:

I like you:toast::laugh:

As far as what to expect, they'll be posting the schedule in the coming months and you'll probably get a packet of information in the mail.

A general guideline (at least for the past 2 and only ones I've attended) have gone somethin like this:

Thursday evening: Welcome reception - lots of mingling and hanging out. Usually a cash bar and some snacks - lots of prizes given away, etc.

Friday: Breakfast, vendor rooms open, general sessions in the morning and afternoon. Evening is usually free and they have excursions available for local attractions.

Saturday: Generally some morning sessions and the afternoon free for excursions or just kickin it - then resume in the evening for cash bar and the big banquet.

Sunday: Sessions in the morning and dismiss around noon.

Tons of giveaways throughout the weekend and a great opportunity to make new friends from all over and exchange sweeping tips and best wins - its a blast:dance: Definitely bring your camera, you can check out the threads from 2005 and 2006 and view those pics:snap:

Great.. Thanks a bunch... I'll look for the OlS booth for sure and say my "hellos". Do you suggest a dress or a pant suit for the Saturday night banquet? Me and the girls are going to find a club to shake our money makers to. Tee Hee. Just wondering the attire so we don't have to change later.....

Queen Bee,
I most likely will be arriving around 4 via Northwest Airlines on June 7th. Maybe we can share a shuttle to the convention hotel.

Would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. PM anytime and I'll help with whatever. KB definately is right on with the basic schedule make up.

As you are curious about the "schedule" I'd like a head's up on the raffle and what limits they may put on them.
