Ohio Star Ball (OSB)

[elisedance]

SK!  Lovely to see your smiling face here   Seems like 6.30 Fri is becoming a 'date' ...

The other thing we can do is to list our heats here so that if other PDOodlers are available they can come cheer.

[StageKat]

Lovely Idea! I know my traveling companions and I will be there as of Friday afternoon So if anyone is dancing on Saturday or Sunday do let me know! I already have a request to cheer at 7am on Saturday... not sure if I'll make it quite that early...but I'll do my best!

Excellent about meeting up on Friday night! I will make a point to be there!

I trust you will be back for a repeat etp.  And yes, the food is good there... and oddly its usually not so crowded despite the thousands at the comp...

yeah, definitely wasn't bad friday night.  I think everyone was either in a ballroom dancing, or passed out in their rooms.

Now saturday night, after the comp?  that place was busy

What do you mean, "Final well, here's hoping..." .  Of course you are going to make it.  We are sending you good vibes.  Keep your posture and look confident.  Don't compete, perform.

Alright then my goal.. aside from Friday night at the 2nd floor bar is to make it to the Ballroom on Sunday morning to cheer Elise on! 9:15 is a reasonable time to appear at a comp. :-)

I will not be there this year. But my heart and thoughts are with all of you. It was a darned hard decision too because I miss all of you so much!!!!!!!!

BUT ..... going to NY instead to spend my anniversary with my husband. =)

So he didn't want to go to OSB?

Sounds like a great decision - have a wonderful time.  When will you be there?

[elisedance]

Well, I'm at the PDO get-together, but its a bit of a misnomer right now ...

[etp777]

We're here for second time, didn't see you either time

[elisedance]

In case you are all fretting - we found each other and now we truly have a quorum for a PDO get-together.  More anon...
