Who's Going to be at the National?

I just wanted to get an idea of who will get to be graced with my presence at the National this year. :twisted: Just kidding. Well, mostly,lol.

The main reason I wanted to know, not only because I really do want to meet everyone and see people I haven't seen in a long time, is because Holly and I were talking and we wanted to stage a little get together for everyone coming up. It will likely just be a dinner out, nothing fancy or requiring a lot of time, effort or schedule coordination for everyone. We didn't want anyone to have to drive far after all the events of the day or have the stress of trying to fit yet another event into their schedule. We want it to be enjoyable and relaxing!

That being said, who's coming, would you like to meet up and do you have a day preference for when a dinner would be good? I was thinking Thursday evening but I'm open to suggestion and how everyone else's schedule coordinates, too.

I look forward to meeting everyone! (Except Judi because she is mean to me. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: )

You always make me laugh... I really like your sense of humor (and sarcastic wit).

Lol. Good! I know I'm not for everyone!
Oh no, now we're giving Jill a fat head! :lol:

LeAnne and I are coming, with Chewie and Clay.

We have stuff everyday, so we will be hard to work around.
Thursday evening is the banquet, so that night is probably out.
Wednesday eve is the BBQ. We are going to be at both of those.

Looking at the schedule, this is how the eves shape up:
Monday - welcome reception 7-10pm
Tuesday - Top 20, reception and auction
Wed -BBQ 5:30 pm
Thurs - Banquet 6:30 ish
Hmm, thanks for posting that, Dawn. It looks like it's going to be tough with all that stuff going on. How does the BBQ work? I'm assuming it's just for the show people or can us commoners come to just hang out? That might be a possibility for a meet up place if they'll let us "normies" in.
I *think* it is open to anyone. However, there is a reservation form in the entries for it. For eating. It is being held during the end of the agility, so it is a free time for anyone to be there. I think it sounds like a fun time to get together. That mean :twisted: Judi is running Harry then, so I would think you really need to be there to cheer them on!! :D :D

Maybe Kristine will chime in on this one - that day is her baby! :D
That sounds like it could be good. Kristine, as the goddess of that day, what's the good word? Can we come and hang out? Or even pay to eat or something. It's not me I'm worried about in the food department, but Fatty Fatty Fat Pants, I mean, Clyde, can't resist a BBQ.

Ahh, you are not getting off that easy Jill! Watch out I will have my camera with me and the pictures I get this year might make the potty dance look tame! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Seriously, we arrive on Tuesday evening and I would love to go to dinner with you guys if you will wait for us! We are staying at the Best Western in Birch Run and I know Dawn will be in Birch Run too! (Hint) Can we meet in Birch Run since I will have just driven 9 1/2 hours plus potty stops (no diapers for me!)?

Jill you should come to the barbeque! Where else can you see Show Me's Harrington aka Mr. Selective Hearing aka Agility is a Team Sport? make a fool of himself?

It is open to everybody and it costs $15 to attend. The fee is worth attending to eat all you want while you make fun of me and Harry!

The reservation form is on page 6 of the premium and is due by Monday, September 10th. The reservation form for the banquet is also on there - I believe it is also open to everyone but the price is a little more steep at $38

I can't wait to finally meet you Jill!
Of course I am not holding my breath :sidestep:
All you can eat + Clyde is a dangerous combination!

Cool, we'll definitely come to that then. It's worth $15 for sure!

Is he back to being a fatty fatty fat pants? I thought he was downsized to the fatty fat pants model...
I'll be there!!!!
Maybe I'll bring the dogs to Michigan too. Oh wait, this is a dog related event. Guess they have to com along. D'oh!!!

Don't forget, Toby aka Complete and Total Jackass, should be running in agility too. There's lots of us to come and make fun of. I think that there should be a prize for worst forum agility dog!!!
I wish I could go but my niece is getting married that weekend and for some reason, I HAVE to attend. My mother is making me. I'd rather hang in Michigan and eat and play with sheepies. <insert boo-boo face.>

Oh Mandy, that is a wonderful idea! It will take the embarrassment out of a total mess on the field to say "Yes but we won the prize for the worst forum agility dog!"

And just to throw down a little challenge in the way of it I predict now that Mr. Agility is a Team Sport? will make Mr. Complete and Total Jackass look like he is ready for the Agility nationals!
You are so on because we are going to be far worse than anyone else!!!!
I never knew there were so many agility alter-ego names!
What positive thinking! Good luck and have lots of fun
I wont be there :P :mrgreen:

Sheesh have a drink for me. :(

Judi look forward to THE photo better then the potty dance. :wink: :banana: :lol: :lol:

Cameras people, lots of photos for us people that live at the otherside of the planet. :lol:
I can't come :evil: but I expect agility videos from several of you when it's over!!
If you guys like, I'll let Clyde loose on the course. He'll likely get stuck in the tire but he'll make everyone else look good!

Yup Steph, he's back up again. He lost 10 pounds but he gained five back so he's over 100 and officially fatty Fatty Fat Pants once again.
When I see Clyde I am going to tell him that "there is just more of him to love"! Hang in there Clyde, I am sure the hair does a wonderful job of camouflaging those few extra pounds!
Emily - boo hoo!
I was really hoping you guys would make the trip!!
All right then. So far we have:

Judi and Harry
Dawn and Chewie
Leanne and Clay
Nita (she's going solo)
Mandy (Toby and Suzi)

C'mon there must be more than that! I think Michaelina is coming with Matisse as well but she's not on the forum as much as some of us.

Dawn, tell Kristine to start reading the threads outside of Introductions and Clubs! Who's she bringing?
Lets see, she did tell me.....
Macy and Sybil - Chewie's sisters
Belle and Coco - great auntie and grandma
Maddie - mom, just to hang out

I think that is right!
Sorry I can't come this year but money is a bit tight. Have to pay for Haggis' fancy handler this month for the Norfolk Terrier specialty and just had to buy a new G5 tower because Chris' computer died (Jill knows what this is :wink: ) Hopefully, I'll catch you all in Minnesota next year! :D Have a drink for me too and take LOTS of pics (Just remember how many I took last year, so you guys better come through!)
Good thing those Macs are durable.


OH NO! Was it a power spike from the grid or the panels? 8O

Nah, just old age. I think we bought it back in 1999-2000? My computer that got spiked last year was newer I think from '03-04. I get the new G5 tower. Chris gets my hand me down G5 iMac.
I will be there as Harry's pit crew! I can't wait! :lol:
Add me, Jil, and Amber with Chicus to the list :D
Who's Chicus?
Chicus is Ambers boy from South America, he's really gorgeous.
Amber and I are coming.......... and meeting up. She is bringing Chicus and I am bringing my 2 babies........... she and i are going to make some decisions........ so 2 babies will be there.........]

Ali
I really want to come :cry: But not quite healthy enough right now.
Have a margarita for Chauncey & I ( I prefer strawberry, Chauncey said he'd like his beef flavored- light on the salt ). :D
