Thanks, Patsy, for your report. I enjoyed being in class with you.
Things I learned at conference:
-Waiting for an elevator takes longer than walking down the stairs, but
with those pillows and bags, it's not worth it to walk. Start early. Be
patient.
-Watch the front desk at the hotel. Periodically they put out dishes of
apples, chocolates, and bottles of water. Free. (Or rather -- part of your
room cost.)
-Wear some lace. It will catch the attention of even the non lacers.
-Smile. You have lots of friends here you just haven't met yet.
-Room service breakfast is fun! And a good start to the day.
-Take three times the money you think you'll need. The sales room is
unbelievably tempting.
-Ask for a wheelchair at the airport. You'll go through express
security. Or go with someone in a wheelchair.
-Pack an extra bag in your suitcase to take home all the extras.
-I need a folding lace stand that's more compact than the ones I have.
-A person never has too many pillows.....or bobbins......or thread...or books.
The host guild did a wonderful job of coping with all of us. And the hotel
people were more cooperative than some hotels I've been in. And very
polite. Congrats to RMLG for a great conference. I could tell the work you
put into it.
Did you all notice that Vasna *wore* her prize dragon on her head as a hat
at the banquet?????
A note for all people who had things in the exhibit hall. Please check
your items, wrappings, and boxes for a stray 6-inch knitted doily. It
seems to have been caught on another piece of lace and left the room with
the wrong owner. Please return it to a member of the RMLG and it will be
sent on to the correct owner, no questions asked. No, it's not mine. I
just have the nerve to speak up.
I'd like to see it go to its own home very soon. Pass the word on to
exhibitors in your groups who are not Arachnians. Thanks.
Even during this conference, I heard people speaking of attending future
ones. Next year in Montreal will be an interesting one. The contest was
announced and the details will be in the next Bulletin. You have time
enough to enter, if you start when you get the next Bulletin. You can make
it the largest contest yet.
Tulsa -- what will be the dates of your conference? They announced that it
would be earlier than the dates listed on the web or previous publications,
but they didn't say just when. I'd like to know. Please.
Thanks, again, RMLG, for a great conference. It was fun, interesting, and
well run from start to finish. It sets a standard that future groups will
have to work hard to beat.
Alice in Oregon -- where I'm almost recovered from conference and traveling.
