    Hope to see lots of OptiBoarders at the OAA Convention. Did we ever decide on a meeting place and time for a picture (and subsequent revelry :))?

    I'll be there on Wednesday, and I'll swing by the registration desk at the Fairmont Hotel at around 5:30pm if anyone would like to meet for dinner... (I'll be the short fella wearing the Costa del Mar blue mirrored Tempest :D).

    Oh well, gotta go get SOME work done in this short work week!

    See ya there!

    Pete:
    I won't be there until late Friday, but will be conducting my class on "How To Receive Free Beads on Bourbon Street" in my room as soon as my wife falls asleep. Female students, only.
    Also, all convention atendees should remember to carry some spare screws, a screwdriver and a pair of pliers in their pockets at all times. I always do. That way, after you get arrested, the New Orleans police let you fix their glasss instead of chopping rocks, cleaning out the cells, washing pots and pans, etc, until they let you out. They're pretty nice.

    I think we decided on an OptiBoard Picture taking session saturday at 5:30 at the OAA booth. I'm looking forward to seeing ya'll both with and without my beergoggles I'm planning to wear most of the weekend. :)

    If my time or place is incorrect someone let me know.

    P.S. I'm going to post a pic or at least a link to a pic of Darris before we leave Thurs for those of you who didn't enter the Draw Darris contest. That way you can compare the winning entry upon our return...lol

    Hey Optiboarders!

    Unfortunately I will not be in Nuawlins for the OAA Convention. (Judy, I am anxious to see others' artwork of "Darris I don't know you but feel we do Chambless"

    Enjoy the Convention and say hello to Gary, Pat, Russ, Pat, Norm and all the others I have had the pleasure of working with at Leadership. (Same hotel, different year)

    I'll see you in Nawlins, but won't be there for the picture session, if it's on Saturday. I'll be leaving out on Saturday morning. Sorry, but ya'll have a great time. I look forward to seeing you on the board. I need to get home for my husband's birthday party and Father's day. :D

    Idea

    OK, I was wrong...I actually took the two minutes to find our original posts about a meeting time for Optiboarders in Nawlins...and it's FRIDAY at 5-5:30 at the OAA. That way we don't miss Diane. We can't have that!!
    So...everyone who is going...post a reply here before Thursday so we know who to wait around for while you fill up on free transitions T-shirts and PD sticks.

    Hello Lady Di,

    There is no way we would have you or Judy miss out on the picture session. Yes, we want you there! Who else am I gonna argue with (since Laurie won't be there :-)?

    Well, I guess we will see you either really late sometime Thursday, Friday on and off throughout the day and I'm sure later on with the rest of the crew for whatever will be (and don't stand us up because I get kind of cranky when people don't show ;-)

    Take care,
