Lifesavers isn’t all business. Turns out, the law enforcement and traffic safety community does party quite a bit. Well, you probably guessed that, but you might be surprised that the CPS community does, too. In fact, a few carseat moms put back more Guinness than I did at our Car-Seat.Org reception last night (that ended up in Findley’s Irish Pub). I’m not naming any names, but you know who you are! Well over a dozen online advocates attended. Most of us were seated just one table over from the collection of manufacturers representatives. That was quite a fortunate coincidence, as it gave Heather and I an opportunity to beg for some carseat giveaways, after they’d let down their defenses from all the other beggars at the conference exhibits. Stay tuned, as I think at least a couple nice giveaways will be forthcoming over the next few weeks!
Sad you couldn’t make it? Don’t despair! Start making plans for Philadelphia, April 11-13, 2010 for Lifesavers next year. Even better, set aside August 11-13th, 2011, for what I hope will be the largest collection of online techs and advocates yet, the Kidz In Motion Conference in Orlando. We may also make appearances at KIM 2009 and 2010 along with the ABC Kids Expo each fall in Vegas, but put the two above in your calendars now.
More to come from the show!
Shh. The photo was supposed to convey that I was the only male present among 13-14 women!
deja vu!
Thanks for letting me hang with you all it was fun.
Thanks for the snacks Darren. I owe you a Scotch or two.
I was amazed at how well everyone was able to walk after we closed down the bar. I’ve never seen so much Guinness downed in one sitting and of course, Darren was a gracious host. Thanks for the great time, Darren!
It’s killing me not to be there, you know that, right? Maybe next year
How fun!
I don’t anticipate getting to go until they do it AFTER tax season is over, or my kids are all grown. (And I expect to keep having kids for about the next 15 years so the conference will probably be defunct by then…)
🙁
KIM is another matter. 😀
Cheers!
Sounds like an awesome time! I wish I hadn’t been so darn anxious at Lifesavers last year, so I could have really had a good time with you guys.
I agree with Kecia, I hate you all too! Glad you are having a good time, someone drink a margarita for me!
Kecia, I talked to Russ about you yesterday ;).
I hate you. All of you. 😛
LOL! Seriously, I’m glad you’re all having a good time. Have one (or two, or six) for me, ok?
It’s in Philly next year?? WAHOOOOO!
I’ll totally be there since I’m about 45min away from Center City!
I need some dancing smilies here!!
Yay!
And Orlando is very appealing …I wonder if I can talk dh into letting me go again solo, not sure if it will fly though. Hmmmm
