Kily - ummm... I think we'd love to attend - however, it would be a REALLY LONG drive for the two of us... Sorry <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

Kily -
You know what you should do - plan something that is in the Central US - it could be a few days long - then EVERYONE could attend! Although, you'd have to rent a convention center or something like that!
Wouldn't that be cool!!!!

We could do it right smack dab in the center of the country....somewhere in Kansas...
I'd be willing if people wanted to. Maybe we could invite Mr. Steve Harley himself as an honored guest.
I like it.
What do you all think?
Steve...are you out there?
This is getting good. We can have a vote for MOST helpful BS, Most Helpful WS, Most memorable recovery, Most interesting people, person that has grown the most....
And give out awards!!!

Pretty Good Idea - I agree with SS, I'd love to meet Dorothy and Toto also <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> Ok, back to the question at hand - Maybe we could invite Mr. Steve Harley himself as an honored guest. I like that idea - we could invite Cerri as a guest speaker too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> What do you all think? I think the idea is great - one catch though, I think that you'd have to plan it 6 - 12 months out, like I originally said, we'd have to rent a convention center or someplace large enough to hold everyone - now, one other catch, there would be a fee involved for everyone that came (gotta pay for the center somehow, right???) This is getting good. We can have a vote for MOST helpful BS, Most Helpful WS, Most memorable recovery, Most interesting people, person that has grown the most.... Again, GREAT thought! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> Keep it up - if it is something that you (as in MB in general) are interested in, we can talk more! For now though, I think it is a great idea, I am just not sure how realistic... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

I realize that it would be a year from now, but if we had people that would committ, I can get a rough head count, figure out how many people would be there. We could book a convention hall somewhere, figure out how $ per person and REALLY do this. We'd have to (Notice you have now been roped into this..) figure out hotel rooms into this. People would be responsible for their own transportation to and from...but it COULD work. Any voices of REASON out there or have we been ABDUCTED by ALIENS? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Nope, I think we are the only voices out there! Yes, I realize that I have been roped into this too! That's okay though - if it really could work, it would be cool! Hotel rooms, Nope - that is something that guests are going to have figure out on their own, so we (notice we - you and I and the other voices of reason...) would have to make sure we held it in a big enough city with hotel rooms available! So, maybe Kansas isn't the right place - MANY OPTIONS available though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> It would be great if there were others who were interested!!! Otherwise, it may just end up you, me, and STTSI <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> I think we are the only ones out there today - I think that the others have been abducted by aliens, not us!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <small>[ April 25, 2003, 03:11 PM: Message edited by: imready2try ]</small>

How about Chicago? Major airports, and in the middle of the country. I know there are several MB'ers here, too. I'm sure there are hotels that have meeting rooms and lounges available, and there's lots of great things to do around the city.
Just a thought.....

I was just thinking of RESERVING hotel rooms...not paying for them...but you're right.
I changed the title. Maybe that will catch their eyes....

Kily - I was going to suggest a name change to catch the attention of others! Chicago would be okay! 6 hours (I think) from here! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> This could be fun if it takes off! I can help ya with stuff if you need <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Actually it was YOUR idea...I just went with it. People must think we have WAY too much time on our hands...
Keep the suggestions coming. I am REALLY serious about this. Hopefully Dr. Harley will catch wind of this and give us his views....

I think it could be fun, and yes, it would have to be a year out or so for it to work for me. I don't have a clue what my W would say, but she would have to agree and go. She still wonders why anyone would want to take my advice. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> SS
