I've had a hard time keeping track of this, I'm so excited to have a board to try it on!



Who's going to Philly, when are you getting in, and do you have any fun plans we should know about? :)

    Stephanie, ditto, I can't wait to give you a hug. I'm going to sound all big sister like and give advice- jump in! Seriously, join anyone at any time and introduce yourself (especially if they're young lol) and you will not be sorry. I was too shy to do that and I regret it.



    I have zero plans! The group is so big this year that I haven't planned anything, i figure small groups will be doing things, I definitely think some of us need to exchange cell numbers so no one is by themselves for no good reason.

    I'm coming!! Probably will come in the evening on Friday since I have classes all day, but I will be staying until Sunday afternoon/evening. Last year we had an awesome time touring the city and eating on Sunday afternoon. I'd love to go to the art museum, so who knows...

    I have never been to Philly so you ladies will have to tell me if there are any touristy things that I just have to do while I am there. Oh and I need to eat a lot of good food too!

    I will be there.  I am wondering how soon I should attempt to make an appointment at the stripper store?  it really would be humiliating to be locked out two years running.  other than that I will be gorging on food from the market.

    om Jennifer, the market is amazing with awesome food. There is also THE best gelato not far from the hotel. I mean, it's amazing, I am planning on having at least one a day while I'm there.

    I think it's Cori's birthday too that weekend !!  If you get locked out and unable to obtain that slutty nurse outfit I have a friend that owns an adult store down on 2nd - bonus they own the cafe right next door with fabulous desserts and coffee and fro yo !

    Sad I will have to miss this one as well. Had to turn down the grant because of work. Medical bills, and a son in college require two jobs...I am missing all the fun!!

    I am so looking forward to seeing everyone again!



    Since there is so many coming this year I hope that I get to see everyone and say hi at least! There isn't any dinner planned or anything this year due to such a large group. But it was so fun last year.

     Alyssa, it's REALLY hard to say - it seemed like there were a ton of women on the YSC Facebook group who said they'd be going. I couldn't even begin to guess at an estimate!

    Keeping the list going:

    1. Kim (animal lover)

    2. Melinda (Melinda413)

    3. Stephanie (sandejosgirl)

    4. Cori (ringosmommy)

    5. Tasha (MissCurmudgeonly)

    6. Jennifer (jc3win)

    7. Cambria

    Hmm, it is really hard to say as I know a lot of people who said they were going now are not able to.and there is no central place to even put together a contact list this year. not sure how we will all find each other this year!

    well, one thing I am going to do about two weeks prior is post on here for people to email or pm me their first and last names if the room is in their name.  Last year Tracey called the hotel and had us all put on the same floor.  Tracey, browneyedgirl.  it was no coicidence.  She said she just tried to think of everyone that she could, but ofcourse couldn't think of everyone's last name.  So, if anyone wants me to try that, I am happy to....I think it was really nice to be in the same area for the most part.  I HATED that about the orlando conference, that hotel was NOT condusive for meeting up with people.

    Cori, great idea! I was just coming up to Philly to hang out. Hmmm. Is it outlandish to ask the hotel to let us stay in the general session room and order pizza? I wonder if Katie from lbbc would help us. I'll email her

    Boo hoo! I want to go. But, think I only could if I brought my 4 year old. And, as cool as she is, she definitely cannot hang all night like me!!! (maybe)



    And I really don't want to hear, "you brought a toddler to a stripper store?"

    I tried that last year, I went through Katie and then i went through the hotel but there was a wedding later that night last year. Maybe it will work out this year though, that would be awesome!

    Grrrr no. They're booked later that night. Hard Rock/Maggiano/Chilli have a private room but I think that = contract, $ guarantee, etc. Hmmmmm yall could all come over to my place but 90 minute drive. Tiffany may have an idea...
