And when we find a new date, maybe some of the people who couldn't come to this one will be available. </p> <p>Keep your swap piles growing, and we'll start working on a date for when the weather is not so inhospitable.</p> <p>ETA: P.S. If everyone who was planning to come will just chime in that they've seen this note, I won't have to torture you with additional e-mail... </p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thread-for-the-connecticut-location-of-the-ylf-global-swap-event/page/2#post-283635 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 01:46:54 +0000 Lisa 283635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just thinking the timing seems "off". I can use more time to pile up goodies to bring. And since I would be driving the potential parking or lack or or the ice freezing if snow were to melt or who knows what with the roads on the way home is making me pause. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thread-for-the-connecticut-location-of-the-ylf-global-swap-event/page/2#post-283628 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 01:42:28 +0000 Maya 283628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking the same thing, Lisa. I don't even have any of my swap items ready yet (they're all really wrinkled and need a wash--not that they are dirty, just that they have been boxed up for so long and could stand to be refreshed). That is obviously my fault but coupled with all the uncertainty about the weather, I think it might be better to hold off. </p> <p>What say you, April? Would you be ok with having a quiet couple of days with SO this time around? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thread-for-the-connecticut-location-of-the-ylf-global-swap-event/page/2#post-283623 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 01:39:39 +0000 Lisa 283623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Should we just push to March when the weather is more cooperative? The more people the better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thread-for-the-connecticut-location-of-the-ylf-global-swap-event/page/2#post-283566 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 00:22:50 +0000 Anonymous 283566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you April for all of the monumental efforts with this. No one can control Mother nature, bummer :(</p> <p>I think for me, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to attend. The team I'm traveling with is thinking of leaving tomorrow to avoid this mess. That is up in the air as well.</p> <p>I think it's not going to happen for me this time. Thank you Maya for offering to take the train with me!</p> <p>Have fun ladies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thread-for-the-connecticut-location-of-the-ylf-global-swap-event/page/2#post-283540 Thu, 20 Jan 2011 23:06:00 +0000 bella 283540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate the stupid snow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thread-for-the-connecticut-location-of-the-ylf-global-swap-event/page/2#post-283500 Thu, 20 Jan 2011 21:47:35 +0000 April 283500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There were a couple of people who were "maybes" for the CT swap and don't know of the current weather-related plans we've been exchanging via e-mail, so here is a recap.</p> <p>We are expecting snow on Friday -- the day I have to travel from PA to CT to get things ready for the swap. If it all ends early enough, no problem. But if it looks bad, we've decided to reschedule our swap -- perhaps for some time in March, when conditions will be more hospitable for travel.</p> <p>I should know by midday on Friday what's what, and will post an update. </p> <p>Hey, that Pasadena swap is sounding pretty good right now... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thread-for-the-connecticut-location-of-the-ylf-global-swap-event#post-282640 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 02:44:54 +0000 Debora 282640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks April! I can't wait to hear all about the swap. Have fun, ladies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thread-for-the-connecticut-location-of-the-ylf-global-swap-event#post-282416 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 19:48:50 +0000 April 282416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debora, maybe you'll be able to come to the next one! We can schedule it when you're in NYC with Kindrex... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thread-for-the-connecticut-location-of-the-ylf-global-swap-event#post-282402 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 19:27:52 +0000 Debora 282402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wistfully reading this thread and wishing I could be there. Have a wonderful time and I hope the weather cooperates. Oh, and I can't believe Shana is passing up this opportunity to attend her brother's wedding! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thread-for-the-connecticut-location-of-the-ylf-global-swap-event#post-282396 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 19:16:45 +0000 April 282396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, Medusa! </p> <p>Isabel, do you know yet whether you'll be able to join us? If you PM me your e-mail address, I'll send you the swap guidelines. </p> <p>Ladies, I'm watching the weather forecast closely. New England is possibly due for some more snow on Friday, and I don't want anyone taking safety chances on slippery roads. (I'm also coming from out of state, so if conditions are bad, it will be hard for me to get there as well.) </p> <p>Stay tuned... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thread-for-the-connecticut-location-of-the-ylf-global-swap-event#post-282072 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 01:50:46 +0000 medusa 282072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm planning to come. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thread-for-the-connecticut-location-of-the-ylf-global-swap-event#post-282014 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 00:13:21 +0000 Anonymous 282014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah...

I think it said up to 25 clothing items and unlimited accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thread-for-the-connecticut-location-of-the-ylf-global-swap-event#post-282003 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 23:23:39 +0000 Anonymous 282003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey guys, I have a question:<br /> I'm having a real dumb moment here as I have not been to any clothing swaps EVER. I'm trying to select my items with ample time for dry cleaning etc, just in case I can make it and I'm wondering. How many items ( in average) does one bring to these things? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thread-for-the-connecticut-location-of-the-ylf-global-swap-event#post-281499 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 22:51:55 +0000 April 281499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zap -- please come with Maya! We'd love to meet you. </p> <p>I'm sorry to say that Jean is going to have to disappoint us because she forgot she has a class starting on the day of the swap and has not yet mastered the trick of being in two places at the same time.</p> <p>And Shana has thoughtlessly decided to attend her brother's wedding, so she will also not be joining us. </p> <p>I think the theme here is that we'll have to do this again in the summer, no? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thread-for-the-connecticut-location-of-the-ylf-global-swap-event#post-281425 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 20:13:19 +0000 Maya 281425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be on the edge of my seat!</p> <p>I would hate to insist that you wear something with a lapel...</p> <p>I could wear my flower headband instead? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thread-for-the-connecticut-location-of-the-ylf-global-swap-event#post-281411 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 19:45:22 +0000 Anonymous 281411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, we can do that:) Should I wear a flower in my lapel so you recognize me ???? LOL.<br /> Let me make sure that I can make it. My only *if* is that I leave for a business trip the next day, very early in the morning. I will try to get things done ( errands etc) during the week so I can free up my saturday. I will know by next Wednesday if I'm gonna be able to pull it off, so I'll keep you posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thread-for-the-connecticut-location-of-the-ylf-global-swap-event#post-281407 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 19:40:31 +0000 Maya 281407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The stations are either Rowayton or Darien.
