Keep your fingers crossed if you tell him this because 2008 convention in Chicago may be further but as a hub for United and AA the flights might be cheaper, and after you have attended one convention you will be bitten by the bug and want to go to all of them!! We have at least 10 going from our guild this year and we double or triple up in the bedrooms to keep down the cost. We usually hit the supermarket for breakfast and lunch food and drink. Last year as we were able to drive we even took a portable refrigerator! One year we took a toaster oven, but I don't advise reheating frozen pizza in your bedroom, it took days to get rid of the smell!! I also signed up for the Arachne lunch. I am so glad that the host guild organised that, much better than our hit and miss attempts at getting together of recent years. I hope they are also going to let us sign up for tables at the banquet like last year, it made it much more civilised than everyone rushing to grab a table for their groups. Looking forward to getting my 24 hour class that I put as my first choice, the first time I have gone for one workshop rather than two differing ones. My first convention I just did an afternoon class like Pene and I enjoyed sleeping in and reading the complimentary newspaper in bed. Hope to see you there, Janice Janice Blair Crystal Lake, 50 miles northwest of Chicago, Illinois, USA - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
