Oh, I'm sorry, Bridget. I really didn't mean to laugh..{!-- ia0 -->Hug.gif{!-- ia0 -->

Maureen from Scotland, I will include you and your friend, also. I'll send an email to those on my dinner list before Houston, just to make sure that I have everyone on the list. Then I will post here and on the blogs that I have sent those emails.

Robin-thanks a bunch for making the list I love having where everyone is from on my list!

Can't wait to see all the "new" faces this year!!

Oh boy, am I ever excited about Houston...I absolutely cannot wait to see old friends again, and to meet so many new people, and to buy thread. Kelly, I didn't know you were coming. I'm so glad! I'm staying a little extra time this year. I love hanging out, drinking coffee on the second floor in the early mornings and talking to whoever. What a great week it will be!

WOW! I'm behind again! I've been so busy that I haven't been checking the forum. I've got to get my list started. Since my kids are grown this is my favorite list to make all year...the "who is coming to Houston when and where list"! (no more huge birthday and Christmas list!)

So far I haven't found a restaurant down town that would have a private or more secluded area for us to dine. I think everyone enjoyed the restaurant last year except for all the noise. Let me know if you have a differing opinion or would like to try some place new.

Dawn, I didn't get your email, but I will include you.

Now where did I put that pen and paper...

Bridget, you are just too funny. . .loved the part about the calories! I too won't be physicall going; but, virtually, I'll be there.

Since I will once again be heading up the UGH Club here is my imaginary submission....

Will be in Houston someday but not this year
No class -- that's why I'm writing this bitter forum entry. (Oh classes? I don't have those either.)
Put me down for a big old zero for dinner on Thursday night but somebody can call dibs on my dessert if they want -- I promise to absorb all the calories!

Here I am!

Hi All, Dawn sent me her list, Margo sent me her list from before, and Maggie and Sherry are going to send me the names they have. My question for you all is what information should we include? TQS name, photo, real first name, dates at the show, and whether attending the dinner seem necessary, but what about last name? hometown, state, or country? classes attending? Anything else?

It really helps to have everyone wear a TQS badge with your screen name on it. Here's the link for directions:

I got Robin's email before I checked the forum! Yes, I will be sending my list to Robin! Thanks Robin for making a PDF for all of us! I like having a memory nudge to help me with things like names!

Maggie in E. Central Illinois, who needs to get busy making her TQS badge!

Great, Kelly! Looking forward to having you join us!
