Well, plane ticket is ready.
Have a great roomie, sent the paperwork. A few things to do here at home.
I'm so looking forward to seeing everyone again.
And, yes, Hans, one day. it would be great to meet you in person. I'm very loyal to The VCCC. I don't bash, etc...although I've been ridiculed numerous times. However, I will not give some folks that power, the real power to hurt me or the people/friends whom I hold dear to me. Sadly, some friendships have ended, or diminished as well. That's unfortunate.

I'm sad I won't get to see everyone this year. I have been to every one since 2007 and have thorougly enjoyed each.
This summer I have a few summer classes I am taking, and even skipping a couple days for the convention wouldn't be a good idea. I'm really hoping I can make it to the next one but with my senior year coming up I'm just not sure.

I've been speaking to a few people this week.
It looks like everything is falling into place. A lot of hard work goes into these. But, it's all worth it.

Has the convention ever been in the Los Angeles area?

Convention in Los Angeles
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Indeed, the Convention was in Los Angeles in 2005 and it was awesome with two very large and varied collections exhibited. Though each collection was quite varied, one collection displayed an essentially complete array of Electrolux documenting its first half-century in the U.S. (1924-1974). </span>
