If someone is keeping a list of people coming to Chicago, count me in!

Now, as I see it ..... I need to bring jeans, a t-shirt, a little black dress, pearls, a bandanna, and make-up and I'll be all set.   ;D  Did I miss anything?  They say belly laughing is the best medicine and the Chicago symposium sounds like we will all have plenty of medicine!  Can hardly wait ........   :D

Willie and I are also attending - and we'll both be wearing pearls ... with our jeans!!   :D :D  I have been sneered at by the doorman of the Plaza in NYC, so I am thinking that the Drake guys won't be able to intimidate me.  And, my hubby is from Queens, so there's no scaring him. 

Really can't wait to see (and meet) everyone!

Great news, Phyl - but does that mean Pooter loses his seat on the Moderator's Jet  ???

Bumping me off the flight already and it's still a few months away!  Hmph!  I'm fairly small, so can I fit in the floorboard or something?  I used to sleep in the floorboard in the car as a child.  :)

whispering cuz last time, I was booked to go and something came up (like, um, my husband's permenant arrival to the states) and I had to cancel the symposium at the last minute and I don't want to jinx it this time... and btw, the Mod Jet is overbooked right now... so, if Pooter kisses up to the Mods, then mebbe we'll bump someone else off the jet -- unless my Pooter is ok with sitting in the luggage hold... but, the drink cart is staying onboard! :) See you all there! :)

I didn't read through this whole thread (little spinny still) but what happens at the symposium besides the meeting of the (forum) minds?  It would be so fun to meet you guys!!!  Besides, if Steve is buying drinks...   ;D

Steve is the featured presenter at a breakout session on the rehabilitative benefits of knitting during the AN post-surgical recovery period. He will probably be too busy to buy drinks.

That's all part of our master plan - we keep his hands occupied with knitting needles and yarn and then we grab his wallet and head for the bar!   ;)

I think I need to apply for a grant. Anyone know how to write one?   :D

It is my understanding that what happens at the symposium stays at the symposium.  ;)

Very cute, Saralynn  :D

And a great idea by Lori.  Meet you in the bar  ;)

Anissa -

there was a full symposium schedule in the last two issues of Notes which all ANA members receive free with their dues.  For those who aren't members, you'll find info on the symposium on the main page of the ANA website.

Steve, that's a brilliant idea! Written correctly, it could subsidize your yarn expenditures.

No fair! You're just planning to sequester Steve for private knitting lessons while everyone else has to pay for their own drinks.
