Hah Inge-fest gets my vote ^^

Add me to 'yes'

Woo-hoo! Rabbit is in da house!!!

Rae - we can cry on each other's shoulders, OK?

Isabel - We will make it happen next time! And have a marvelous time with your family!

Rae and Marley - Ah no-((( Such a shame-( But please don’t cry Marley!

Isabel, Rae, you and all the sweet Fabbers who can’t make it will be there with us in spirit!

Rabbit - Excellent!-)

Also: “Seattle Shoptember Inge Fest”: you guys, I don’t even know what to say and am blushing profoundly. Having a YLF Gathering named after oneself is a Big Deal!

Seattle Shoptember Inge Fest it is.

Wooohoooo, Rabbit. That's brilliant. What is your name?

We are at:

But if I go to a "yes," that means I have to figure out what to wear!

OK, I'm a yes.

Woo-hoo!!

I'm so envious of all of you getting together. I hope you have a wonderful time!

Yay! I'm in touch with Ambergreen, and Cerinda PM us if you want to chat about transport possibilities and such. (Hope we will all get to meet up in PDX sometime soon ). My name is Kate.

I didn't make the last Seattle meetup because of relatives visiting, but put me in the Maybes; I'll be more definite further into August. (btw real name is Lilly)

Fabulous, Rabbit. Wooohoo.

Marillen (Lilly), I will put you down as a Maybe. More fabness.

Ladies, all Seattle Shoptember Inge Fest participants are invited to a Cocktail Party at Ann's on Sunday night. Please reply on HER thread if you would like to attend:

I'm still a maybe. Is anyone else from Vancouver, BC coming?

Put me down as a maybe please! And coming from Vancouver.

Claire.

Angie - I think you should be keeping another tally besides Definites and Maybes.

How about one called Pouters/Whiners - for those of us who aren't going to be there that weekend???

You can put my name at the top of that list (I am a very skilled - albeit, unattractive - pouter and whiner) - and while you all are gathering together to share meals and shop and visit and sightsee and cocktail party-it, I will be pulling out all of the stops down here in So CAL and pouting/whining at an epic level. In fact you all will probably be able to hear me all the way up to Seattle - but, don't mind me, just go ahead and have your fun! I'll be fine.
(Seeeeee - I'm good at this!)

Ambergreen - you crack me up. And yay!-))
Lilly, Claire and Ariadne - Holding thumbs that you can make it.

Marley :-)))

At your request, I hereby crown you Queen Pouter, Marley. Wish you could magically appear at the gathering. xo

Hi, all,

do you have room for a long lost soul who serendipitously just logged on to see this?

bj

Marley you crack me up. May I join you at the Whiners Weekend? It doesn't seem fair to miss out on this much fun & fabness

bj, good to hear from you. PM Mary and Sveta. They are staying in separate hotels - the Executive and the Paramount - and ladies are sharing rooms.

Caro, you will be there in spirit. xo

Make sure you read this thread if you want to join in the festivities on Friday night:

Can I say how much I wish this was the preceding weekend, so I could join you all? I have to work the weekend of the 26th but am off the entire week before. ARGH! You will have so much fun!

Joining Marley in the Pouters/Whiners group.

Count me in! No longer a maybe

I am a definite

Definites: Inge, Angie, Denise, Mary, Christy, Suja, Vicki, Ann (Dashielle), Margaret (Marmee), Sheila, Sharan (Firecracker), Deb, Aida, Jenava, AJ, Kari, Sveta, Kathleen (K.Period), Anna, Diane G, Peggy (Classically Casual), Natalie (Goldenpig), Rabbit, Suzanne (Ambergreen), Cerinda, Ruth (bj1111)
Total: 25-->26

Maybes: Suz, Jackie, Cathy, Laura, Susie, Brenda, Sandy, Celia, Claire, Jamie, Isabel, Debbie, Paula, Ariadne, Marianna, Marlene, Carole, Lilly (Marillen)

I'm going to venture to say that you can take me off the "maybe" list… I don't think there is any reasonable way for me to swing this. I was thinking of flying in early Saturday morning and leaving same day in the evening, but that just seems a little extreme. Really wish I could attend… I'm reading all these threads and everything sounds so exciting and fun! Regretfully I'll be joining the Pouters/Whiners table…

If there is ever a YLF meet-up in Chicago again, I will be there.

That's brilliant, bj. And no worries, Marianna. Thanks for trying.

I am finalizing numbers with the breakfast and lunch places - which as you can imagine is quite hectic with a group this large. So if you can let me know soonest, that would be great.

Crackers and Sveta, I messaged you! I would have messaged Mary too about hotels but can't figure out how to message multiple people at once.

I'm in!
