ToO Convention 2012

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

When Do You Think We Should Have The ToO Party? And Are You Going?

Yes, I am going.

I thought of a fantastic idea (in my humble, yet accurate opinion)! We should have some kind of memento from our gathering. What if everyone brings some simple trinket (say, a magnet) from their town or state to share with someone else. Then everyone gets to take one home to always and forever remember the ToO Convention. Also someone (like me) could make some simple souvenirs/party favors for everone to take.

I'm very excited about this idea. I want to do something since my job as AIO themed food coordinator is no longer needed.

And, I can make name tags for everyone (I really want to do something with name tags, can you tell?). I would just need a list of everyone going.

Good ideas? Bad ideas? Crazy ideas because they were thought up on my 10 hour drive from Kankakee, IL to Norfolk, NE? Sometimes long drives can be productive and sometimes they can be downright draining.

My dad is trying to work out our plans for the trip, and I need to know/confirm: one, are we for sure doing this on Friday night (I can't do Saturday; I have to leave fairly quickly after the show)? Two, if so, what time? Three, are we for sure having it at the hotel that OdysseyFan mentioned earlier in the thread? And four, is there anything that I need to bring or do?

She left many of us behind. She left us heartbroken. And though we cry now there'll come a time when we'll laugh. Because we'll see her again someday. We'll be with her in heaven. And when we go to heaven she'll be there to greet us. She'll be there to say "Welcome home." -From a poem that SnC wrote about her grandmother

Less than 500 tickets remaining, so if you're coming, you'd better get them quick.

They just posted that they're having a live radio broadcast with Connie, Matthew, and Chris on Friday along with Get In The Show auditions at a bookstore half an hour from the church.

A quick idea I just had... If we have wifi in the hotel, why not set up a computer or two connected to the chatroom, so people unable to come could get on the chatroom and talk to us?

Use the chatroom! It's been active for a year, and most of you are missing it.

Hope wifi works out. I hate that I am missing out when it's only about 5 hours away. It would be nice if someone could do skype.

Patience, grasshopper. We have more important things to do first. Like, you know, going to the show? 8-)

But I expect you can look forward to some video from the party as well...
