Maybe just the local news, Flame. Lol
Let's get this party started!

Okay. So when I Google the SCC the day after I won't be seeing mugshots of you, Clara and Sarah?

[RobinMurphy]

Sammie we should be fine on wednesday how much trouble could someone get into on Princess Day. Another thing to practice running in heels the police always catch the slow ones.

[Samantha Rogers]

Well, Robin, Princess Day will be fine, I am sure...but we may give new meaning to Princess Night...lol...

[Samantha Rogers]

Lol...I keep swapping suitcases to make more space...I am going to need "bearers" to carry my stuff on this expedition..haha
OMG...a week from tomorrow Im getting on a plane as a woman (hopefully, if I dont chicken out)
I started planning for this back in January. I cant believe seven months have passed. What a ride it has been.
I am so looking forward to meeting everyone next week, but so sad about not seeing the rest of this "family".
Next year, girls? It will be here before you know it. Lol

[GoneGirl]

Yeah, SCC always seemed so far off. Now it's here. This is going to be a fantastic experience for me. I installed a second clothes rod in the van to hold my wardrobe. Yup, I'm taking everything...LOL. We girls don't travel light, given a choice. I'm so looking forward to meeting everyone "in the flesh" as Annie says. My goodness that adds a whole new dimension to the friendships we've developed here. I wish all could be meeting next week.

Clara

[flamesabers]

Well, Robin, Princess Day will be fine, I am sure...but we may give new meaning to Princess Night...lol...

Princess Day? Sarah, are you planning on participating? Maybe you dress up as a Disney princess?

[SarahSchilling]

Princess day actually has very little to do with some corporation started by some perverted zombie that currently makes millions of dollars by selling simplistic animation and recycled fairy tales to the easily amused/impressionable.

Now if you'll excuse me I have to go do my makeup. Lol

[Samantha Rogers]

And so it begins....tomorrow is Friday and at least one member of our group (Arielle) is beginning their her trip to Atlanta then. Over the next few days those who are driving will set out...Clara, Elisa, my non BN friend Staci. And then it will be Tuesday and from all over, the rest of us will be boarding planes. Like a pilgrimage...lol. A TG Mecca.. haha This is just plain awesome.



So, in tribute, and with apologies to Bill...lol...see how many will get a kick out of this....


SCC Day
This day is call’d the feast of SCC
She that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam’d,
And rouse her at the name of SCC.
She that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast her neighbours,
And say “To-morrow is Southern Comfort day”
Then will she show her pics and tell her tales,
And say “These clothes I bought at SCC.”
Old girls forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But she’ll remember, with advantages,
What feats she did that week. Then shall our names,
Familiar in her mouth as household words-
Sammiegurl, Sarah and Arielle,
Clara and Annie, Elisa and Robin
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb’red.
This story shall the good girl teach her daughter;
And SCC shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of sisters;
For she to-day that dons her dress with me
Shall be my sister; be she ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle her condition;
And gentlegirls in England (or Detroit or or Chicago, or Minneapolis or anywhere) now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their garters cheap whiles any speaks
That dressed with us upon SCC day.

Sounds like so much fun for all you gurls!
Please post pics for those of us that can't go.

[Heather-H]

To all you gorgeous and beautiful ladies mentioned above,
Your travels have taken you hundreds of miles,
They will finally merge at SCC full of smiles.

Dresses, make-up and shoes galore,
This conference is certainly an allure,
Represented by the NBE family for sure.


Sadly I am unable to attend,
My spirit is with you to the end,
So my friends I send this little note with some tears,
I will be raising a glass and say cheers

Bless you all

Huge Hugs
Heather

PS. This is just a spare of the moment thought, I know it's a little Naff, but WTF!
