OK, so this theater is in NYC. . whatevs!
One thing I've been doing is putting together a "cheat sheet" of everyone who is going. It's just a simple sheet with everyone's picture, first name, city (or state or country), and blog title. I started doing this for myself, just so I could keep everyone straight, but then I realized that it might be helpful for everyone to have it. I'm going to e-mail it to the organizers when it's ready. That said, if you're going to be in Chicago for the conference and have a face shot that you want me to use for you, just e-mail it to me at chroniclesfrombandland [at] gmail.com (put your first name and blog in the subject line please). Otherwise, I'll just pick the best recent photo that I see on your blog.

Anyway, I just wanted to give a big shout out to the lovely and talented organizers, Jennifer, Amy, Joey, Drazil, Grace, Band-Babe, Deborah, Stephanie and Linda. You girls are amazing, and I am so glad that you are putting this together. The t-shirts are incredibly cute, too! Joey, you are seriously talented!! And, it made my day to visit the B.O.O.B.S. site and see that I was a featured blogger the other day! I really appreciated all of the nice comments, and it makes me so happy (and totally choked up) every time I hear that this blog helped one of my sisters in band land.

I also can't believe how far the Sisterhood has expanded, and I wish I had some things left to bring to Chicago! It did not occur to me when I sent all of my outgrown (in-grown? LOL) sizes to bandsters across the country that this would become a part of our bandster blogosphere culture, or just how generous all the amazing people in our community would be with one another. I've seen a few of my clothes go to 3 or 4 bandsters, which I love. It's incredible, and it also cracks me up that you all know my dirty little secret of cutting the sizes out of my clothes! (I don't do that anymore, funny enough. .) :) I wish we all would have started by sewing tags with our names inside so that we could see the legacy of bandster success stories who had each item before us. We all are a part of this sisterhood, and I hope this tradition of sharing continues long after we all reach our goals and our final sizes.

What a great idea for the list, I'll indeed send you a picture. Can't wait to meet everyone, I'm getting really excited!
Great Idea! Thanks for putting it together :)
I'm jealous..... you guys are going to have a blast. but it looks like i'm going to be banded on the 22nd, so you can all send me one big positive vibe when you get there! :)
Great idea and great post. Have a wonderful time in Chicago.
What a wonderful idea, Catherine!! You don't know how handy that will be for everyone. I will be sending you a photo via email in a little bit! Thanks again :)
I hope you guys have a great time, I know you will and I wish I were going to be there. But next year I am so there! I got a banding date of 9/8 so I guess things worked out I wouldnt have been able to travel maybe.
This was a great post and what a great idea! And you are right about the people who are organizing.. They are doing a WONDERFUL job.. so exciting.. I know you are going to be the hit of the group.. you look wondeful!
I want someone to promise me that there will be a BOOBS convention next year that I can participate in. I am so freakin' jealous right now!
Another brown noser here - I can't believe all we got for $80! Our organizers are freaking awesome. The cheat sheet is such a great idea, but I think I better get a better head shot than what's on my blog now. I'll have something to you by the end of the weekend. Thanks so much for doing - it's such a great idea.
Beautiful post - so you are the original Sisterhood Fairy Clothes Mother? Bless you! I am SO so so so so excited to finally meet you and all of the other beauties in Chicago. Thank you so much for making the cheat sheet - I know I'll need it!
Great idea to put the list together! So looking forward to meeting everyone in a few weeks!
Oh my goodness!! I was just telling a fellow blogger a few days ago that we need a list of all the ladies going with their names, blog names and a face shot next to their name so we can see who all is going and not just their names! So thank you for doing this!! Its hard to keep everyones blog names straight...much less when you see everyone in person you dont have the face to go with the name! Anyways!! Glad your doing this!
What a terrific idea my love! Can't wait to REunite! xox
I'm so excited to meet you (and everyone)in Chicago. You sent me my first sisterhood package and I'll always remember when I could fit into the clothes - it was a great feeling.
You know, I still run/walk in the pants/shirt you gave me... in fact, I may just bring the pants for the race in Chicago!!! They are WAY too big at this point, but I have them and some pants Amy sent me that I just can't part with from a mental perspective because every time I wear them, I hear you guys cheering me on... :-)
Brilliant idea...that is perfect.
OMG I was totally going to do a cheat sheet! I want yours! Fab idea. Cannot wait to meet you!
I am so bummed that I can't make it to Chicago! That cheat sheet sounds like a great idea! Also, sewing our names in the clothes - that would have been a great idea, too! <3
