I've seen over the past few months folks asking what OH Conference is like.

If you've been to one, what is your fondest memory/whackiest moment/favorite part of OH conference? Points to those who can substantiate with a photo.

I'll answer separately.

There are so many moments of the two events I've been to so far. Cincy was the wildest last year. My favorite moments:

Thank you PAM for memorializing my ride on th mechanical bull in a mini-dress (or was that you Melting Mama?).

Thank you, Tony, for doing the "Single Ladies" dance with me later on that evening.

Thank you Penney for the libations (I don't advocate heavily for post-op alcohol consumption but if you knew the kind of summer I had you would understand). Only problem is that the drink she bought me left me vulnerable to being photographed in a VERY un-diva like manner:

But my favorite, favorite, favorite part of the experience was getting to finally meet my friend and SISTER, Pam, in person for the first time!!!!

Me and Pam are like peas and carrots. :)

So come to OH Conference!!! You too can have debaucherous...erm, memorable moments!!!

My favorite part was just being around a large group of people who know exactly how I'm feeling and what our struggles are. for sure.

Be happy.

I went to the one in Houston this past November. It was my first OH conference and was so much fun!! I enjoyed meeting and hanging out with my online friends, participating in the fashion show, the photo booth, and chatting with Dr. LoMonaco (I have a big ol' crush on him..... shhhhhhhhhhh .... lol).

I think I've been to four conferences in Texas. It's always a blast to see people from the boards. Early out I really enjoyed the speakers, I don't seem to get as much from them now that I'm further out.

My favorite thing was meeting MM and PuggyDawn in Atlanta a year and a half ago. I plan on attending the Seattle event and maybe the New Orleans event this year. I expect to get to meet you there Niki. And I already know and got to hang out with AndreaU in Atlanta too BTW.

(I do not know how to put pictures into these posts but I will learn eventually so I can post the ones I take at the next event. LOL!)
