Christine, it was great meeting you. I look forward to see you again next year.
Don

It was a real pleasure meeting you, Christine...and dragging you into the biggest balloon hat in Tennessee!! If you need a hand with that magic, please let us know!

Now THAT was a blast!!!!

You can be sure that I'll come back with questions - Although we've been back home since lunch time, I'm still on that conference "high"... sleep will be a great thing tonight.

Again, thank you all for making feel like I belonged even if I had no clue what was going on a lot of the time!

"A dove box? What's a dove box?" Duh, a box you hide a dove in!

Nice to meet you briefly Christine. Glad you had fun!!! Good to chat with you too Skip!!! JR

It was good to see you again, JR. Welcome back to the Café.

Missed you guys, but I'll be there next year. I'm now at the beach in Avalon, NJ, then going to take Billy to college in Washington, DC, then to Poconos, then to Connecticut, back to the Poconos, then going to Las Vegas. Wow, a busy summer vacationing with Cathy. Making up for loss time!

I Can't wait to hear how Donald Liked KIDabra....Is he Hooked? like the rest of us.

Donald was great company. He seemed to be having a blast. His only complaint to me was that the lectures never started on time, and I tend to agree with him. I seemed to end up having breakfast with him and his charming wife on most days!! JR

Christine Sorry I Didn't get to go to Kidabra this year, I found out I had Kidney cancer and was recovering from surgery. I am looking forward to next yr.

Dean MagicB1S - I hope you're feeling better and that you're beating that beast of a disease - should you have a need for a face painter, clown or balloon twister in the Knoxville area, please let me know. In the meantime, I'll keep you in my prayers for a quick recovery!

I missed you Dennis at Pigeon Forge. Always look forward to seeing you.
Smileyface, did we speak?? I missed chatting to lots due to the fact it was a packed convention of stuff to do.

Jimbo, we did meet. Actually I think you were the fellow that helped me pick a puppet. I was looking at the Axtel & you convinced me to pick the dog from the other vendor. I eventually bought a used Axtel Buzzard but have yet to use him - the dog is more fun! If that wasn't you, then I'm just loosing my mind... have you seen one rolling around?

I will be going this year, but not as a dealer. I want to hang with my friends, go in the lazy river every day and not be tied down to my booth. I just want to have fun (Don't think I won't stir up some excitement in the auction either!)
