Default Sweet Shoppe Convention

In light of all the little videos I'm seeing here, would it not be awesome to have a Sweet Shoppe convention for us all to get together and meet and talk digi?
Maybe some day we can do that. I know with the economy it'd be hard for most of us to take the extra money to travel and stuff, but from seeing the videos and glimpsing into some of your personalities I bet we'd get along awesome!

St Louis is 5 hours from me, but you know, if we want to get really CENTRAL... I live in the middle of the US, people.

I had to look that up to see what it was and figured it would be at the Convention Center and it was. I would love to go to that but I HATE going to the area the convention center is in. Traffic is a nightmare because it is in the middle of one of the busiest roads in Orlando.

Why not make it a vacation and come to the live music capital of the world? Austin baby! Of course... if it were somewhere else, maybe I'd be forced to leave the kids with DH and get away... hmmm.........

Since the economy's so bad, let's plan for next summer...when I'm in America! Or if you do a convention before then, you must promise to have another one while I'm home, kay? And I woudl travel ANYwhere in America to meet you gals!

Totally agree with Kellie!

My 10 year reunion is this year, and we're moving and I've already got to go to DC to get my car.

Next year would be better for me too. LOL!

Yeah, we're going on a 2 week road trip to California this summer for my brothers wedding this summer. Nothing planned for next summer yet though & that'd give us plenty of time to save!
