Two Weeks Later

Here it is not even a full 2 weeks after the 06 conference ended and the background preparations for the 07 conference have already started. This slow pace will continue until January 07 at which time things will start to get hectic.

For those interested Miss Pris wanted me to say high to all and mention the fact she had a wonderful time flirting at the show. Right now she is on tour at "Burning Man" and although she thinks the name is sexist her and her group of special friends are having a great time.

The Party Is Over

The Party Is Over
I had a wonderful time. I was able to visit with many attendees and get my picture taken with most. Its time to start planning for next year after all only 333 days left. I hope everyone had a great time as I did and with any luck my schedule will allow me to return. Remember to thank all the vendors.

Lovingly yours
Miss Priss
Super Model

To upgrade or not

What a breakfast meal, thank you Corel. I was trying to decide if I should up grade my software, I should and I will as soon as I get home.

I Wonder.....

Who was that stranger who came to dinner last night?
Did the secret lovers who wrote on the message board find each other?
Other than JT, ~P~, JC, John eye and the young karate champion how many others had their picture taken with Miss Pris?
How many members used the lobby computer? Non members?
Who was that man and woman in the strange hats?
Why Doorman had to make so many trips to the watering hole?
Are Terry Currier and Jerry Clarke really half brothers?
How much longer my battery is going to last?

More for me

It is about 8:30 at night and the vendor faire is in full bloom. I am sorry to say a few people left early so I guess they will miss the drawing for prizes provided by the vendors. Oh well more for me.

Here I come to save the day

Six o'clock and time for dinner. The attendee's are in line and ready to eat, after all lunch was only 4 hours ago. When all of a sudden we are informed the electricity went out in the vendor faire room. I became electrified and sprang into to action. I decided it was time to make a calming announcement. Once my announcement was over the electricity returned and once again Doorman had saved the day. Tomorrow it starts again.

12 NOON

Here it is time to eat again. Microsoft feed fed us lunch and introduced us to Vista. After that, time for more workshops. This is turning out a very busy day and before you know it time for dinner.

Sat AM

Sausage & eggs to much too eat. Discussed Welcome CD. User group updates and by Patricia Hill, Judy Taylour and Gene Barlow. Off to see some work shops.

Off to start

The conference was scheduled to start at 2 pm but registration did not start til 2:15 not too bad considering all the work that was done. The dinner sponsored by Smart Computing was great, and plenty of it. The performance by Jen, Marcy and Brynn was terriffic. More tomorrow. Breakfast starts at 7:30.

A Long Day for All

Yesterday was a long day. I started working at 1 am, and worked until 3 am. I then took a nap until about 5:30 we stopped for the day at 7pm, whew! Today was a little easier did start until 6am. The registration room is looking good. Most of the hard work is over now we just have to finish paperwork and prepare to open the doors at 2. Oh yes Miss Pris the fashion model is already started posing.

Well here we at are

Well here we are at the T&C in San Diego. The weather is great, lots of sun, but don’t let that fool you the hotel air conditioning is working very well so remember bring a sweater or coat. The work of setting up the conference has been begun. It is hard work but very rewarding. More latter.

Today is the Day

Today is the day we leave for San Diego. I was up early (3 am) to work on the Welcome CD, I finished it at 5:15 this am. I made a copy of all the files and also transferred everything to my laptop, better safe then sorry. After packing computers and other boxes I started loading the car about 6:30 and finished about 8:00. Now waiting on Miss Pris to finish packing, once she is done we will go out for breakfast, then leave for the 2 hour drive to San Diego. Once we arrive we will set up the duplicator to make CDs for all.

550 and Counting

Decided to take a break from working on the “Welcome CD”.  So far the CD has 550 MB of great information on it. Other groups newsletters are on the CD so you  or your editor can compare them with what is happening in your club. It contains software for you download and use. This year it has a new section that can be used for that last minute presenter cancellation. Most important it gives you email links to all the vendors to make sending your thank you notes easier.

House Guest

Having a super model as a house guest has certainly proven to be interesting. She will strike a pose and then hold it for hours. She has posed both with a red Boa  and some very expensive looking jewelry. When she speaks you can’t see her lips move. One of my neighbors came over to visit with her but he went home mad when she refused to talk to him. Her dietary needs are strange, she refuses to eat or drink anything that contains calories,  sweeteners, fiber, vegetables, fruits or dairy products of any kind.
