Anyone from Yvonne's downline dressing up as a superhero for the banquet? If so, what sort of costume are you wearing??
 
Totally missed this the first round. You are supposed to dress in your favorite colors, not as a superhero. Do you need the updated information on the banquet at all?

No, I have it. Thank you though. I posted that right after they first announced the theme and the flyer never said anything about wearing your favorite color until recently. I'm glad we don't have to dress up as superheros...I don't do costumes well. LOL!

Me either...well maybe. My first conference I did a Wave change and for the banquet we were attending they said to dress your dreams or what you wanted to be/do.

I drove that year so I brought my turnout gear and dressed as a firefighter. :D

That would be awesome!! This year, if we HAD to do superheroes, I was going to go as Storm from X-Men. I liked the year we had a "red carpet" banquet and we all wore evening gowns and boas. It was a hoot!

Was that 2 years ago when I switched waves? Where you there last year?

It was 2004 or 2005. I haven't went to conference for the last few years...I wasn't active. In fact, I just re-signed this past April. I'm so excited to be able to go again - the last conference I attended was when they announced the Executive cookware and we got the petite saucepan as a gift at lunch. That was the year I walked as a Director and we got the black 25th anniversary aprons at the Director event. I'm pretty sure that was 2005.
