Texas State Convention - Page 2

Hey ladies! Ok, I know this is probably dumb, but on the schedule for the convention, it says that the awards dinner banquet is "after 5" attire. I am still confused by what that means. Is it cocktail/pref-type dress? Or more formal?

Looking forward to seeing some of ya'll this weekend!

I'm wearing a black velvet skirt and top with sparklies on the top, so that it's not ALL black.
It's the only thing I have that fits, so it will have to do.

Lindz- check your pms.

Hey ladies- so it sounds like there are 3 or 4 of us going with 2 more that are up for happy hour, but not attending the convention. Did I count that up right? Does Friday or Saturday work better for a get together? I've been invited to a dinner on Friday night along with the ladies I'm hitching a ride with. So, since I'm not sure when that is, Friday night is out for me. That leaves Saturday sometime during the free time or during the Alumnae Networking get together. That's sometime between 2:30-6:30 or after 9:30 for the two of you not attending. What do you think? We have to decide today because I'm leaving my house at 7:30 in the morning tommorow and would like to know when it is, so that I can be there with my camera!

Just let me know what works best for all of you! I'm pretty flexible. The are tons of places right around that area to meet up at, or we could just meet at the bar there in the hotel. Whatever is most convenient for those actually attending the convention.

Saturday would be my vote probably. And if we meet at the hotel bar (is there one?), then it would be easy for all of us that will be at the convention.

ETA: I don't want to just post my cell phone # up here, but anyone who is gonna be around, PM me before like 11:30 tomorrow and I'll send it to you. I can't wait to meet everyone!

After five usually means cocktail dress to semi-formal.

Y'all are going to have so much fun!!!

Last year I wore a nice silk dress that was from Ann Taylor with a pashmina over it. There was a bit of everything there. I'm not too sure how dressy I'll be this year.

Lindz, I'll PM you with my #. Sat is the best choice, however last year in Beaumont, they had wine and cheese etc at the networking party. I have no idea of what is planned for this one. With that, I'm always ready for some cocktails with the sistas!

Can't wait to see y'all!

As of now... lets meet at 9:30 at the alumnae meet and greet for a GreekChat picture. Peanuttu and T*P, if you girls want to come meet us there we'd love to see you.

honeychile · #9 03-02-2006, 11:59 PM

Pictures, ladies, please take pictures!!!!!!!!!

peanutttu · #10 03-03-2006, 01:29 PM

Dang it, i should've looked at this last night!!!! I hope Lindz checks her pm's b/w now and tomorrow night!!! I sure hope to be able to meet up w/them!!!!!!!

adpi*violet · #11 03-05-2006, 09:23 PM

Well, Texas State Convention is over. It was an interesting and informative experience. I was able to meet Lindz, already knew Lonestaradpi and by chance met WLFEO in the mall! (What a small world ADPi is!)
Here is a pic of myself, Lindz and Lonestaradpi.
Sorry that peanut and t*p were not able to meet up with us!
It would have been fun to meet more sisters from our online world.

WOW!!

You ladies look lovely - too much beauty to waste on a bunch of other women! Hope y'all had a good time!

lonestaradpi · #13 03-06-2006, 12:35 AM

Thanks for posting that! I had a great time. I was nice to meet some other greekchat adpi's!

WLFEO · #14 03-06-2006, 12:43 AM

It was fun meeting you, too- especially in my favorite store in the world- Talbots!

Lindz928 · #15 03-06-2006, 11:23 AM

Hey guys! Yes, it was definitely a fun time!!! (Heidi, I hope you didn't have to do much "editing" to that pic! LOL)

I already plan on being there next year in Waco- hopefully I'll see ya'll then too!
