You've brought it all to life for those of us who weren't able to attend this year. I'm looking forward to seeing you again next year in DC ~ or sooner if you plan another trip to Charlotte! :)pjpuppymomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18234101901405553621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34763566.post-63879367725679100612008-08-15T12:16:00.000-07:002008-08-15T12:16:00.000-07:00I read this once and could have sworn I commented....I read this once and could have sworn I commented. I must be losing it. As you can tell, I'm not quite recovered either.<BR/><BR/>Keira - I loved getting to meet you and our lovely Anna and all the other Banditas who were so great. I even had lunch with Ms. Hern though didn't get a chance to speak to her. LOL! But we were at the same table!<BR/><BR/>Can't wait for DC!Terri Osburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176989488447450585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34763566.post-25821008011443995792008-08-14T21:30:00.000-07:002008-08-14T21:30:00.000-07:00Hey, Tracy, I really enjoyed meeting you too!

The conference can be so chaotic--I'm really grateful to Candice for organizing her bluestockings getting together or there are a lot of people I'd have missed. I was lucky to get to meet Anna at the Avon dinner---Anna, it was lovely to meet you in person. And I agree with Candice--as a Bay area-ite, it was great to see so many people enjoy San Francisco!Tracy Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17238690610522108681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34763566.post-45406136194286768362008-08-14T18:15:00.000-07:002008-08-14T18:15:00.000-07:00I'm glad to hear you had such a great time!

I adored San Francisco and had a wonderful time at the conference - have you been to Sydney, I think you'd like it, there are definite similarities. I hope we manage to get together in Washington - I might even stalk you ahead of time and book a coffee, if you can fit me in! Well, a coffee or a margarita!Anna Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695579361323275316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34763566.post-59827957667755157282008-08-14T04:19:00.000-07:002008-08-14T04:19:00.000-07:00Keira, that is a great photo of the Chook with the...Keira, that is a great photo of the Chook with the grapes...<BR/>I tracked you over to this blog to ask you what are the html codes for a link... i've looked and found lots of posts about how to do them...but honestly I don't understand the lingo used!<BR/><BR/>Could you just post the code to put in front and behind the web address or whatever!!!<BR/>I would really appreciate your help...

It was so crowded I barely saw you! And I had wanted to catch up with you after the RITAs cuz I thouht I remembered you were getting your tattoo that day and I wanted to see it. Once again, however, the crowds overwhelmed me. I came out of the auditorium and saw this great teeming sea of people, and decided to head to the bar instead. I never even saw the desserts! <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm glad the conference went so well for everyone. As a proud San Franciscan, I must say it was the BEST location for a conference. :-)<BR/><BR/>It was great seeing you again, Keira. And Anna Campbell, I had wanted to meet you but never got the opportunity. I'm a huge fan and just wanted to tell you so.Candice Hernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11448740730027226703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34763566.post-65544893963756932012008-08-13T08:13:00.000-07:002008-08-13T08:13:00.000-07:00Great run-down of the "moments" at conference, Kei...Great run-down of the "moments" at conference, Keirs.<BR/><BR/>So, did La Nora think you were stalking her and call house security :-D?<BR/><BR/>Loooooove the pic of the Chook with the grapes.

I did have fun with this format, mostly because I was too lazy to write up a full report. <BR/><BR/>It's so fun to read this and see how - though we were at the same conference and even some of the same events - different our experiences could be. Both amazing, though, jut moving in different groups. Too cool on MJP! It was awesome meeting you, Keira - can't wait for DC!Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02914999185973869780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34763566.post-80629730597846167042008-08-13T06:45:00.000-07:002008-08-13T06:45:00.000-07:00Keira, our day of WALKING through San Francisco wa...Keira, our day of WALKING through San Francisco was one of my highlights. I loved seeing the Cathedral and our strange beverages at the restaurant in Chinatown (fruit drinks with little rubbery balls of tapioca,I think, in them). Mostly I just enjoyed being together on such a beautiful day. It was a good thing, too, because I hardly saw you once the conference started!Diane Gastonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14770373530197339170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34763566.post-73988327609081247362008-08-12T22:47:00.000-07:002008-08-12T22:47:00.000-07:00Yeah, I'm still waiting to see that picture pop up...Yeah, I'm still waiting to see that picture pop up somewhere online...

That's teach me to make a better schedule for DC. <BR/><BR/>You better hurry up and become normal. You have a major presentation and another busy conference coming up. <BR/><BR/>The Banditas are the coolest. Thanks to Cassondra's amazing efficiency and organization, the party set-up and tear-down were almost instantaneous. <BR/><BR/>Check out the picture of the chook. Proof that he visited the Bandita party and sampled the treats.Keira Soleorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440213826734580889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34763566.post-71425796220101946322008-08-12T21:25:00.000-07:002008-08-12T21:25:00.000-07:00Hey, it can't have been thrice!!!

Or do I have that wrong too (I was extremely stressed when I put my conference program together and any mistakes were completely mine!)? Aren't the Banditas just the coolest? It's always an utter delight to see you, my dear! Can't wait till next year!
