Decisions Decisions Decisions
 
Don't you hate when you have two or more things fall on the same day at the same time or same week?

Situation #1:

In late December my GLO is having our national conference in New Orleans. In early January one of my non-GLO is also having a national conference...in Denver. I've never been anywhere outside the midwest or the south and never been to colorado or seen mountains! I've gone to New Orleans before, but I was like 5, so I don't remember much. Both trips cost around $300, so I can only go to one.

My current closest circle of friends are going to Denver, while my chapter members are going to New Orleans, in which very unfortunately we're not that close too each other.

Eventhough my closest friends are going to Denver, and we will be doing a lot of things i've never done before...like skiing, however partying will not be one of those things, and I'm there definately be some boring moments. In New Orleans, i'm sure that will be a lot of fun (I wish not to go into detail) and perhaps partying, and maybe even chance to bond a little, I have some sort of idea what to expect since I've been to several sectionals and regionals.

Either way, I want to go hundreds of miles away from home to go wild and lose my mind. I'm trying to decide which one would satisfy me more...sigh. Mom and best friends says I'm crazy if I choose New Orleans over Denver. I also want a "neutral third party" opinion.

Situation #2:

There are several upcoming christmas parties that I have been invited to (damn I'm getting popular :D). Two of them are on the same night. :( One's very formal and I might even get have a date and close friends are attending, the other is at a less formal place but I think I'll have more fun their IF everything goes right (again I wish not to go into detail as in why).

Hmmmmm...fun with friends or fun getting wild (I won't say how :p).

I'm curious as to why anyone would say you would be crazy to pick New Orleans over Denver.

Anyway, I think you should go wherever you'll get the chance to be all wild and crazy. Then you can come back and tell us all about it. ;)

Awww yes I'm only a DHH when there's a PTH! :D:p;)

Flip a coin.. all alternatives sound great.

I vote that you go to Denver with closer friends and the informal party.

What are DHH and PTH?

Denver! Denver!! Denver!!!

!I agree-go with you closest friends! You will have a lot more fun and simply being in a "party town" won't be all that great if you don't enjoy the company. In fact, it could be a disappointment.

EVERYONE around here gets double invites during the holidays. It's a given that guests will attend in everything from a holiday theme sweater to a tux. It's a real "social" statement when a guest shows up and says, "Oh we were at..." or, "We must go to..."

Shhhhhhhhhhh-Sometimes people will dress differently just to give the impression they have a "full" social calendar. :rolleyes:

Don't ya love it!:D

D, understand a GLO Conference, but what is a non-GLO Conference?

Been to Both Denver and Skiing many times! LOVED IT!

Been to New Orleans once and LOVED IT!

I think it depends on whether you want to do with your GLO people and how important that conference is.

If not that important to meet other members, then go to Denver and Skiing.

Me I would rather meet more of my Brothers from across the country.

Good Luck on whichever choice you make!:)

I was going to take justamom's and my own mom's advice and go to both. But, I made up my mind to go to the formal one tonight, which is later. People are driving me crazy to go there. They are also driving me crazy to go to Denver.

Peaches-n-Cream 12-07-2002 01:12 AM

Have fun! :D :cool: :)

justamom 12-07-2002 08:30 AM

Fill us in and let us know! I bet you made the right decision!
HAVE A BLAST!
