Great. I've made the changes, Judy.

My dear friend Mary Ellen will be joining us on Saturday. She does not participate in the forum but she's a loyal YLF'er. So fun. Wooohooooo Mary Ellen. xo

He he! So I'm not the only one bringing along a friend! Excellent! Can't wait. Thank you, Angie. You are a phenomenal organizer.

Great minds think alike, Kathleen - and fools seldom differ. Wooohooo. xo

My dear friend Meredith - who you've met on YLF a few times before - will be joining us at Elliott's for Oyster Lunch. Wooohoooo, Meredith. xo

Woo-hoo!! SO FUN!!!

I've got parking/transit questions. Is there a thread going? Is there a Seattlite willing to take a PM or two?

Sure. PM me, Cerinda.

Hi Angie--I've another change as plans morph: I'm afraid it looks like I'll also be returning home before dashielle's blast...I am reallllly sorry to miss it. :/ But oysters are still a yes.

Again, thank you to all the planners and hosts!!

I am getting SO excited! I'll be there, but just for Saturday (no change). *waving to everyone*
Angie, the arrangements you've made sound just perfect. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness.

Thanks for letting me know, Suzanne. I've made the change, and we will miss you at the cocktail party.

Claire, thank you. And can't wait to meet you.

What a fun schedule, I'm looking forward to lots of photos and details. Have a great time!

So fabulous that we'll get to meet Mary Ellen and Meredith too, Angie!! Can't wait to meet your friend as well, Kathleen.

Just piping in to confirm that I'm up for Saturday! I'm debating coming to the Friday evening Tango dinner, but feel that might be too much for me since I'm getting to a stage where I have limited energy and still quite a bit to do around the house to get ready for baby.

Looking forward to meeting all the out of towners! Thanks to everyone who contributed to the setup. I know these gatherings are not small things to arrange.

Oh I could cry but am officially admitting that the weekend is just not going to work for me. I've been holding out and holding out and thinking I might be able to make it work, but it just won't. It's an epic weekend for our family. That day is our anniversary, DS#2's bday is a couple of days later (so likely will be hosting a sleepover), and my mom's bday is the day before (and we have a tradition of meeting for lunch and shopping together). Sooooo, I am so sorry to have to miss this

Have fun ladies. Can't wait to see the photo-feeds....

No worries, Jackie. Thanks DO much for trying to make it. Feel free to pop by any other time though. xo

Jenava, we look forward to seeing you and your bump on Saturday. xo

Lisa and others, you will be their in spirit. 

Greg will be joining us at Tango on Friday night too. That brings us to 18 on the Friday night. xo

Oh, how fun that Greg will be joining on Friday! ^^

Oh, it will be lovely to see you, Jenava.
And such a shame that you can't make it, Jackie, but all your weekend plans sound super exciting too. We will meet next time!
Yay for Greg joining us, Angie!

Jackie, we will miss you!

So excited to see Jenava and her lovely bump!

And GREG!!!

The more the merrier for your birthday, Mary. Xo

Angie, you have me so excited with your well-planned itinerary of food stops and activities. Thank you for orchestrating everything so beautifully as only you could do, especially with such a large group. That takes a lot of coordination and effort. I can't wait to see you and Greg again and, Inge, I wish you safe travels and a sunny Seattle welcome when you arrive. See you soon! xxx

Wow, this gathering is going to be epic. I look forward to seeing the forum posts stream in.

The cocktail party is Sunday, September 28th starting at 7pm. Attire is cocktail (lol), which as fabbers, you know there is no one right way to do. Wear something festive that you don't get to wear often, but that you feel fab in. We will have wine (white and red) and a signature cocktail, as well as non-alcoholic beverages. Various hors d'oeuvres and nibbles will be provided to accompaniment.
Parking will be somewhat limited in my 'hood, so I recommend ridesharing. Feel free to reach out if you would like a ride, and we'll see who is coming from where. So far, I know that Mary is on point for corralling the out of towners, Angie and Firecracker have offered to drive Seattleites. Those of you are driving, PM me for the address. Looking forward to a fantastic weekend!

Sounds amazeballs ladies! I wish I were joining you!

Bumping with LOTS OF EXCITEMENT. Making sure everyone knows where to go. PM me if you're unsure. xo

This us do exciting!

What a great job you have done organising all of this for the ladies Angie!! Wishing you all a sensational time in Seattle together, with much fun, frivolity, food, fashion and friendship. Enjoy it all. Regards. DEB

Oh, this lifted my spirits on an otherwise gloomy and depressing period. I can't wait to read your posts about the events, and eagerly wait to live it through all of You! Have your biggest fun ever!:-)

Thanks so much Deb and Lyn. Wish you could have joined us. xo

I am just beside myself with excitement! Tonight's to-do list includes rummaging through my garage and trying to find my suitcase and my cool-weather clothes...

Thank you so much, Deb and Lyn!

I cannot wait for all the YLF Festivities to start!-)
