*bump*

So, who's registered to go? I'm still trying to finagle my schedule and come up w/ the $$$ to go. I have a week left to register...hopefully I can pull it off!

I'm going to be so depressed if I can't go.

I'm registered ....

I guess I'd better be :-) ... I'm chairman of the hospitality committee ... so I'll be there...all day everyday.

Alright, I have another question.

We've batted around the idea of having Mr. AXiD670 come w/ me. Is he allowed to stay in the hotel w/ me? Are there any convention activities that he is allowed to attend (i.e., any of the dinners)?

AZ-AlphaXi · #19 04-29-2005, 11:00 AM

Hey ... glad you're thinking of bring your mr. ... yes he can attend any or all the meals.

yes he can stay at the hotel with you ...

my husband and son have come with me a couple of times .. they mostly hang out at the hotel or do whatever attraction is around ... ie in Orlando they went to the parks ..

hope he decides to come ...

All I have to do is convince my work to let me have the time off, and I should be able to go! I hope Mr. AXiD670 can come w/ me, but that extra plane ticket and room rate is going to add up quickly.

He actually is very interested in coming.

yeah!!!!! PM me if there's anything you want/need to know about convention and/or Tucson...

AZ-AlphaXi · #23 04-29-2005, 05:34 PM

Well that makes 2 of us .... anyone else coming??

I'd like to propose that any GC'ers that want to meet .. meet at the hospitality desk just before the dinner on Wednesday night.

If/when I found out where that's going to be located I'll post it...

AZ-AlphaXi · #24 05-16-2005, 11:15 PM

Got my convention information packet in the mail today ... convention is comming up fast ... can't wait to see my sister's here in Tucson ....

BTW ... it's starting to get hot ... it was in the mid-90s today

I got my packet yesterday as well!

Quick question -- for attire, what about capri pants? I know some people don't think they're dressy enough. We're not allowed to wear them in our office, but I know people in other offices who can wear them.

I guess my answer would be .. do you feel comfortable wearing your quill with capri pants? I know that I wouldn't be ..

I would, and I've got at least one pair that I plan to bring!! The AXiD PTB are far more likely to worry about (and send away) bare midriffs, visible thongs and flip flops than they EVER would about a nice pair of capris.

I'm going to take the liberty of cribbing from the Kappa Delta website, which sounds pretty much like what we do, too, although it sounds like they wear white for all business sessions so I'll do some editing to fit us:

"The Big Question: What Do I Wear?

"Generally everyone dresses up a little bit for Convention. The daytime events (luncheons, [business meetings] and [educational] sessions) are less formal and business casual (nice capris, slacks, sweaters, skirts, blouses, daytime dresses) are most appropriate. The evening banquets are the most formal with the opening dinner being [somewhat] dressy. The awards ceremony dinner is also an occasion to dress up. The final [] Rose Banquet is the most formal with many people wearing long dresses. [No flip flops]

"[For the ritual session], the proper attire is white dress and shoes. A white top and white skirt is also appropriate. Please no casual flip flops with your ritual dress.

"Of course, the [tours] would be casual as you would be getting on and off buses at the various sites and that is hard to do in formal dress and heels."

I have a pair of dressy capris I bought to wear to work...but my boss won't allow it. That's why I was hoping I could wear them to convention. I have a nice top to go w/ them...so the outfit will definitely fit in the business casual category. I also have some more casual capris that I was planning on wearing on the plane ride into Arizona.

I'm sure I'll have more questions for you ladies later!

Just a by-the-way ....

"the ice should break on the Rillato River today or tomorrow"

that's Tucson's way of saying that we should hit 100 degrees ....

so when traveling here ... remember to layer .... it may be cold on the plane and in the airport and in the hotel .... but its HOT (even through its a dry heat) outside....

Remember to bring and wear your sun screen and your hats.

When are people going to be arriving? Tuesday or Wednesday?

GirlyXi · #30 05-19-2005, 11:57 AM

I will arrive on Wednesday! I am so excited to be going!!
