b) Get completely hung up in it and go to conference knowing everything.


SUCH A TOUGH DECISION!!! Any other wave 3'ers grappling with this?


Tara! Don't do it! I was session 3 last year (am 2 this year.... have been 3 most years!) Anyway, I found out about EVERYTHING before I went, and while, yes, it was instant gratification, the announcements weren't as exciting for me. And it really made my conference experience not-so-great. Try to be patient if you can... it's worth it!!!
 
Wow, how awesome and here I thought we got the Tote and ribbons and name badge for confrence, not all these other freebies! :)

It's kinda too bad the cat's out of the bag for all your first timers at conference. It's such a cool surprise when you weren't expecting anything but good information.:D It'll still be cool. There may be other surprises too....ya never know!:p

Woo hooo!!!!!
 
Me too wave 1'ers! But I wont have a button so I guess I'll be stealth. Plus, I don't have picture posted here so I'll be even more stealth. I'll just ahve to look for you all and introduce myself the hard way.
 
I really should re-read my posts for spelling before hitting "post". :0)
 
Yeah!!! I'm not gonna be "stealth mode" after all....I just ordered my button!
 
I just got the paypal email, Ellen. I'll get your button out in the mail tomorrow.
 
I have seen the other bags - I like that this one appears to sit up more onit's own (if not stuff with everything I own LOL!)

Patience is not my strong point, but i'm gonna try my hardest!!!:rolleyes:
 
I'm in WAVE 3 and just can't wait! I really want to be totally surprised when I get there but part of me wants to know before. I'm going to have to do 1 of 2 things:
a) TOTALLY stay of CS for a week
b) Get completely hung up in it and go to conference knowing everything.
