Surprise, Surprise

Earlier today, while working on my computer, I was interrupted by the door bell. When I answered I was surprised beyond belief for standing in front of me was Miss Pris the famous fashion model, who has agreed to make an appearance at SW. To keep her out of sight from the paparazzi, it was agreed she would spend this week with me and my family and then drive to San Diego with us. Wow! What a thrill! My wife managed to take a picture when no one was looking and I have included it here.

Today

Today I fell like the Mad Hatter who kept saying I’m late, I’m late for a very important date no time to say hello, goodbye , I’m late, I’m late. Lots left to do and only a few days left to do it in.

Hot News

After much negotiation with her manager Rachel Clarke, it has been agreed the famous fashion model, Miss Pris would appear at the Southwest conference. She will be modeling Southwest attire with special emphasis given to the proper wearing and display of the badge holder. Miss Pris has promised to pose for pictures so bring your cameras, sorry no autographs. Her next appearance, at the end of the month, will be at Burning Man in the Black Rock Desert.

John Iasiuolo

A little mouse told me that the Welcome CD which is handed out to each attendee will have a special audio message from John Iasiuolo a friend and supporter of the conference.

24 days left

Only 24 days left and we still have lots to do. Doormouse, some times referred to as TOJ or The Other Judy, has to finish making posters & signs for voting, outside activities, camera ticket sales and others as needed. I still have to finish the computer I am bring for attendee use, finish the “Welcome” CD, and get Miss Priss ready. Patricia and Al are boxing software and equipment they bring to SW, finalizing rooms and room arrangements and preparing for the 2007 conference. Judy is busy with last minute registrations, designing and laying out the hand book, ordering T-shirts and making sure all the contest are going OK.

Busy, Busy, Busy

TOJ, the other Judy has been very busy. She has put together three additional points of interest to tour for those who are interested in outside activities. This brings the outside points of interest to six. I was told to keep my eyes on the message board for any last minute changes or additions.

Favorite Gadgets and Web Sites Work Shop

Everyone has a favorite web site that they go to everyday. It is usually a site that they feel they couldn't live without. I find that I always want to know what other people are looking at, so everyone start writing down your favorite sites. In this workshop we'll share them-put them on the screen-and everyone can see why you like them. We should all come away with new sites to use. They can be for anything-fun, information-a favorite blog-the skies the limit. It is also going to be show and tell time! Bring your favorite electronic gadget for all to see. (Of course I'll bring my favorite Windows Mobile device) Once share time is over we'll have a discussion on how to implement this as a program for your group. This is definitely a must attend workshop.Cheryl Wester

So little time

So much to do and so little time to do it. With only 37 days left until the opening of X3, this years Southwest User Group Conference, I wonder how everything is going to get done on time. As far as major projects go I still have a CD ROM to put together, make copies, print and attach labels. Door Mouse has to set up and display all the significant other activities. Judy Taylour has to finish the early registrations, order the T-shirts, and make sure all the contest are off to a good start. Patricia Hill is finishing up hotel & conference details and make arrangements for all vendor deliveries. Al Hill is preparing and testing all the video & sound equipment he needs to bring
