Not sure if you are heading to Illinois Saemma, but apparently she'll be talking at next year's Canadian Parrot Conference in Guelph (November).
Don't take my word for it yet, but that is what I heard when I was there last November.

I'll be close to it, I might try and go too. Looks really neat.

It's incredible!!!
And if it's in a BIGGER location next year... WOOOAHHHH!!!! Watch out! The boyfriend will have LOTS to carry, I'm sure!

THanks for the heads up! I have family in Chicago but Ontario is definitely lots closer.

Last year, we went to this for the first time for my birthday. This year, the 10 year old would like to go to this for his birthday. He really wants to get a signed book by Dr. Pepperberg. I have created a bird nerd.

 

[Skyler]

Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to this one for sure!!!!

 

[Merlie]

There is a Alex Foundation fundraising dinner after the Expo ... perhaps those from AA who are going to the expo might also be attending the dinner, it might be fun to have an AA Forum table!!

I know I'll be attending both the Expo and the dinner ..

Maybe we could wear some type of identifier saying we're AA folks? A little name tag or something?

Anyway, just a though!

I would like to go to the dinner but I don't think that the 8 and 10 yr olds would like it too much. What do you think? But we are definitely going to the rest!! We are excited and going to buy the All Access passes pretty soon (payday?).
