I'll be easy to spot. I'll be the one with the lampshade on my head. :nerd

Wow, I didn't realize it was so fast approaching. I will see you all there....naw I'm just kidding. I know I scared a few of you though. :teeth Hopefully you all have fun, show me a ton of pics and take care of my Jewelsy, she's still innocent you know? :rolleyes :lol

I'm looking forward to next weekend, but I'm really nervous about it. I have the feeling I'm going to be the little old lady of the group. Not that I'm that old you know, but still.... Lilleah backed out on me, so I guess I'm going to be stuck taking mr. gracie along for the ride. Be gentle with him, he can't even turn on a computer let alone get online and he never watches reality tv. (sigh) Doesn't know what he's missing does he?

Oh, no worries, Gracie! My parents are going, too, and they're "old." :lol Not that they're that old, you know. :winkgrin

I think the main fear is that drunken, unflattering pictures will be put up for all to see. I'm sure if common sense and respect for privacy is adhered to, we can all share a few pics. :nod

I think you should have two sets of pictures. The everyone-meets-and-is-still-sober set that we all get to see and the other set that y'all get to use as blackmail.

By the way: Are we having a FORT idol competition as promised earlier in this thread. Because if we do, I'll sign up right now.

They would just find their way out like the Paris Hilton video. :lol

I wish I had seen this earlier, but while I was watching "Airline" on A&E last night, there was a scroll at the bottom of the screen saying they're looking for more airport stories to film. If you go to aetv.com, click on 'Airline', and then click on 'Tell Us Your Story', there's a form you can fill out to be on the show. It's good till late November I think. It would have been so cool to see a story on a bunch of FORTers flying to a convention in Chicago to meet for the first time. I wonder if it's too late for them to film this weekend? :shrug

Regarding your first comment above, Qboots, you always make me laugh. :lol

Regarding your second comment, what a great idea! :up

I can't attend either, so not surprisingly I'm hoping for pictures to be posted, too.

FYI for those of you coming in from warm weather locations here's the forecast for Chicago this weekend. Doesn't look too bad. Rain showers Friday, overnight low of 36 to 43 over the weekend and highs of 54 to 59. Chance of rain 20 to 30%

Oh, the high came up some. It was 49 when I looked the other day. :) Still, cold for us Southern girls. :eek
