I just confirmed with Winnie and Cheezey that I will be going for sure and the three of us will be rooming together and snoring together, too! I can't wait to finally meet more of my dreadsisters!!! JB, I am so happy for you! Won't this be your first time? |

Sue, Winnie, have you two met before? I first met Winnie, about 4 years ago, and wev'e been friends ever since, and I am so excited to meet you too! That Winnie is a sneaky little thing, and meets everyone. I bet you two have already met!  And yes, I have been told I can snore with the best of them! So bring your earplugs.  |

JB, I am so happy for you! Won't this be your first time? Justy....I've only seen Jason from afar during the AI Tour in Portland on July 11, 2008...yes, it is ingrained in my mind! I even made a groupie sign and embarrassed the bajeebies out of my youngest son who also came with his wife and MIL! However, I have never met Jason or seen him up close which really bummed me out the day of the concert. He was on and off so quickly. I have regretted not having gone to the Bus meet earlier in the day, where I would have had the chance to meet Jason eyeball to eyeball and gotten a hug as well as my elusive dreadhead photo with him. I also could have met sweetattimes and Panndy and a few others.( Panndy...bless her heart...managed to squeeze three huge hugs out of Jason!elebenty-one) You know...yesterday down in the games section I came across one of your posts that said....something like...."if you could live one day over in your life what day would it be?....Do you know that the ONLY thing that popped into my mind was July 11th, 2008 at 2pm....I would have gladly given my concert ticket to someone else in exchange for the opportunity to have met Jason that day...fresh off American Idol! I'd like to believe Panndy would have been short one huge hug, which would have belonged to me instead! ;D How much he has grown since that day, but refreshingly still remains gentle, humble and genuine throughout every ounce of his body! |

That Winnie is a sneaky little thing, and meets everyone. I bet you two have already met! And yes, I have been told I can snore with the best of them! So bring your earplugs. Surprisingly, Cheezey....this will be the first time for Winnie and I to meet in person. It's actually hard for me to believe since I have been with her on here for so long and with her on her webcasts and heard her voice and seen tons of pictures and videos and even have last year's Christmas Picture of her family staring at me from my bulletin board right now! It will be more of a shock to her meeting me, I suppose, because she has only seen a few pics of me scattered around and I am ever changing! When I first got to know her on the Myspace JMP Thread she even volunteered to burn a Jason CD for me of all his AI songs, bless her heart....Her generosity warmed my heart and bonded me to her forever...It will be like meeting a beloved sister! And I have to admit, dear, getting to know you since your return has been another exciting adventure and true blessing. I can hardly wait to meet you in person! We are going to have soooo much fun on Saturday before we even make it to see Jason! And if Teresa can convince her DH that she will be safe with all of us and gets a flight into Ontario around the time mine gets in on Saturday, you will be there to pick both of us up!!!  |

I was able to talk to dh last night about going. At first it looked really good because he said I would owe him big time. But then he asked where Jason was playing and I told him the mall and now he is hedging. He grew up in Chino right next to Ontario and doesn't remember it being a good area so he is worried about my safety. Still working on it. I lived in Chino for my high school years and I don't remember Ontario being too bad but it has been almost 30 years since we were there. He also asked about transportation and hotel accomidations. Maybe if I had more infromation it would set his mind at ease and then I could go. Teresa tell him you are going to be with Winnie. He trusts me doesn't he? You have been to my house and everywhere else. So he knows you are in good hands. We will stay in the same hotel together. Ontario is....well Ontario. We are all grown ladies and we know how to take care of ourselves right? Give him my number.  I will talk to him. |

OK need a few things cleared up.
Do I book me a room in one of the motels?
Are we going to have enough cars there to transport everyone?
Will there be someone who could pick me up at the airport on Saturday the 14th?

Sweet I'm sure you can book a room a week before if needed, I'm still waiting to hear if we can get discounts at Marriott, if not then it will be La Quinta probably because the rates are great and it's close. Getting to the mall will be easy. I am flying in Sat afternoon so if you are there you can ride with me. I think around 12:30 or so.
Grrrrrr,, who I've met, are we really doing this? OK thinking (and please no hurt feelings if I forget to mention you) TX49er (my bus #4 mate) Lily D, Crazydo, Beckyvee, Nana, Starlite, Pilar, Sooner, (like 10 more from texas), Overstrung, Calgal, Winnie, Sherry, CMgirl, Lotus, Ashly, Amasette, Kristy, Notaswitty, Emilyftw, Lori, Letsdovintage, Ambertx, Hmess, Amanda, Castrolicious, coachtrish, and now I'm drawing a blank!
none-the-less until I meet ALL OF YOU, I won't be content! So STILL hoping for that convention.

Hello All! I'll be there! Look forward to seeing some familiar faces and meeting new ones! Yes Rainforest Cafe is loads of fun if you've never been there before. Who doesn't like to eat in the jungle surrounded by elephants and monkeys, hah? |

Maybe if I had more infromation it would set his mind at ease and then I could go. I've had family that used to live in Ontario and have been there several times. It seems like a nice area, pretty far from the middle of LA. I've also been to the Ontario Mills Mall and the Rainforest Cafe and I'd rather be there than in some other parts of So. Cal. Not sure if the Rainforest Cafe is the best place to meet up. I'll see if my sis-in-law has some ideas. It will be great to see some familiar faces as well as see some new ones!! Mariana, are you really coming? If anyone has a plan, let me know! I want to meet up with you all forsure! Thanks! Melaine |

I'm pretty certain I know where I am going to stay and the rates & location are good. PM me if you would like the link.
I want to do some street teaming Sat and go have dinner Sat. night, and perhaps repeat Sun. So somewhere along the way we can hit a couple places, but should probably start putting a plan in action.
