MamaT Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Yep, I'm going too. It's amazing how fast I can spend money at a conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedmom4 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I haven't decided it we are going yet for that very reason!! Not sure I want to part with that much money right now. Technically I don't need any curriculum right now but that doesn't mean I wouldn't buy!!! Have a great time! God Bless, Elise in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaMa2005 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Oh, yes, that's me! I just finished typing up the list of things that I am going to buy and it isn't a pretty sight :lol:. DH is also going and as long as he gets to pick out one thing, I have free reign over everything else :hurray:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaAkins Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I'll be there too! Been saving and scrutinizing my list to pare it down as much as possible...As long as I stick to my list of planned purchases, I'll be good--it's the impulse buys that I have to resist! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Is everyone attending SWB's 10 am session on Friday? Members of the hive should use the opportunity to meet up. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaLisa Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 We'll be there as well. Our Suburban is going in the shop and dh just rented a 12-passenger van. :scared: We'll fit right in I suppose! ;) Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mynyel Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Is everyone attending SWB's 10 am session on Friday? Members of the hive should use the opportunity to meet up. :D I won't :( I wanted to be there at 10am but I just don't want to have to get up to make the drive! I can make it there after though! :) I will be there tomorrow night though, right when the doors open for the vendor hall! :w00t: ETA: I will be wearing a bee too! =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) I won't :( I wanted to be there at 10am but I just don't want to have to get up to make the drive! I can make it there after though! :) I will be there tomorrow night though, right when the doors open for the vendor hall! :w00t: I won't be getting in until late in the evening Thursday (could not skip Thursday), but maybe we could have a meet-up after the vendor hall closes on Thursday? A hive meet-up at 11 after SWB's talk would be good too. ETA: I will be wearing a bee too! =DI will have to find something bee-related. :D eta: Although that is my picture up there!

Kari C in SC Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Feeling a bit stressed that I don't have a list of things to look at or buy. I don't know what speakers I am going to either. Really winging it this time! Oh well, leaving in the morning with friends and I am sure it will all be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mynyel Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Oh! Before I forget. This is my first convention. Should I bring cash/check or credit/debit... or all of the above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaMa2005 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Friday-11 am after SWB is good for me. I will also try to find something "bee" related. Or maybe I'll wear black and yellow:D.Angela Sounds good to me too! I just realized I have black pants and a yellow and white striped twin set. I'm all set to meet some of The Hive IRL :seeya:.

ladydusk Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 At Cincinnati, all of the vendors have accepted credit cards, I'm not sure I'd bring much in the way of cash (unless that is how you plan to control spending, in which case, more power to you!)

It's nice to have cash if you want something small from a vendor. I don't like having a bunch of $3 debits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfatherslily Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I tied a little printed bee onto the pink backpack I'll be carrying. I plan to attend SWB's 10am session and would certainly try to make it to a "Hive meeting" if you all plan one:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueridge Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Dang, I'm the op and I can't find any kind of bee around here...and I look like this wearing black or yellow...:eek: Maybe I can just bring a jar of honey. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the one at the bottom right cause I thought he was cute:) Then I "laminated" it with clear packing tape and tied him to the backpack. It could easily be pinned to a shirt. It sounds like I am crazy and spent far too long on this bee... but really it was very fast! I'm not crazy!:willy_nilly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'm going and having such a hard time deciding on which classes to attend. Does anyone know how much the recordings are, and aren't most available during the conference? My husband and kids are going, so we are going to split up for some and send our daughter to some of the teen track sessions. I know there will still be sessions that we miss.
