Hey Cathy-

I read in the magazine there is a bear that is going to be raffled. Is that made from chinchillas and can people who are not going to the show, raffle for it. I'd like to buy tickets for it but wasn't sure if someone is willing to ship it out.

I think I'm finally going to make it out this year! My schedule is cleared and I'm going to plan on being there. Does anyone want to carpool cross-country?

 

[Snickers]

I might go again to Nat'ls. It was a long road trip to Oklahoma for the last one. Shahna and I both had a great time. We also won and purchased some chins there.

I was finally able to put a name with a face.

Has anyone else called the number for the hotel? I've tried three times now and no one answers the phone.

Need a carpooler?? I want to leave from So Cal and I definitely can't make it out there unless I have a carpool.
