"I'M SO EXCITED...AND I JUST CANT HIDE IT...!!"! (Pointer Sister)
I hope Birmingham can take the Invasion of the Soul Patrol!!!!

Barbie - when do you arrive/depart, etc? Are you staying at the Doubletree, also?
yes...I am staying at the DT (I work for a sister hotel brand).
I get there on Friday...around 12:30pm...until Monday at the DT...then move to a Hampton Inn closer to Irondale AL (home of EWTN)...as happy as I am to see you all...also planning a visit the place that has been feeding my spirit for 25 years.
I will make my convention reservations in the AM...as my home computer is too slow for anything but chatting...etc.
Barbie, Liz & I will be hanging around on Sunday. We'll have to find something to do together!

great! I just booked my conventions package...wish I could have sprung to be a sponsor...but could not spring the extra $$...need to save just a bit. I know there has to be a greek restaurant somewhere in Birmingham...and I hear they have a nice zoo too. Perhaps when we get there at the hotel...something will stirr all our minds. I do not pick up my rental car until Monday...when I move closer to EWTN.
gotta get busy making some more peel & stick stickers to hand out freely to everyone!! SOUL PATROL!!!!!
need to get over to Harmony site to see if they have an approximate head count...I wish you guys could give a little Pow-Wow to share your expericences and knowledge of how to work for the main goal...you guys are the Model of togetherness...and keeping things in perspective...and having fun at the same time.
gotta get back to my day job...
