Is anyone from around this area (So. Indiana) or driving through this area wanting to go and interested in carpooling? The show is only about 2 months away and I'm starting to make preliminary plans! :D

We can take my car..I just don't want to make the drive alone!
 
I live 3 hours straight west of Auburn! I'm definitely going. I wish we could have carpooled Stacie. :( Which hotel are you planning on staying at?
 
I stayed at Holiday Inn Express last year so I will probably stay there again this year. I need someone to split a room with me too!
 
Well, I waaaaas going to come, but now that I know Stackie is going to be there.........ewwww. <cough>

PFFFFT! If anything, I should be your main reason for coming!!! :tease:

I turn 21 on the 17th...so this show will also be my first weekend being 21..... ;) Haha actually if it's anything like last year I'll be too tired to even think about being 21.
 
I gotta talk to Laurie as well but maybe we all can be roomies???? We had a ton of fun at the no gnomes motel in October for the WI show. We had 2 adjoining rooms because there were 5 of us, Laurie, Kristy, Carol, Tawana and me, oh and Becky stopped in for a visit as well.

Just so ya know, I don't snore and I don't kick

Not what Amanda said. She said she could hardly sleep for the buzz saw ripping in that room. Right Amanda?
 
Just booked a room at the HIE! I can't wait! It's such a long show-less spell between Mansfield and Nationals, I get withdrawal.
 
Well no animals to show, going to educate myself and hoping to bring back an amazing light phase pure standard.
Looking forward to meeting you all.:)
