Embarking on my trip to Salt Lake, and this is my view. 21 seats. All men.
Who doesn’t love warm roasted nuts?
Seat 6A
Dinner was halibut. It was ok.
The stewardess served ice cream sundaes for dessert.
Elaine, have you ever sat in first class?
This was my seatmate, Greg (i think) from Denver. His wedding ring appeared halfway through the flight.
2nd plane and I’m pleasantly stewed.
Hard to tell from this pic but its a pink sky. I’m a fan.
I arrive at the Hilton and roommate Lindsey is already there.
I am sure she is going to love these pics of her.
Executive level is where its at.
I only took this coz Scott always does. How sad.
Always so clean on the first day.
Lindsay does her Playboy pose.
Heading over for registration, Ashby and Lindsey are ready to swap!
The registration line. It was long!
Some cute cards that you might receive.
More ideas.
Ashby and I blew off a session for some pool time.
Chris and Steph arrive. The party starts now!
Are these in every major city now?
The funky chicken.
I especially love that she left the tag on.
All of my loot and its only just starting.
Hanging in the executive lounge.
We are all intently paying attention to the general session, Monica.
The main stage with Stampin’ Up! founder Shelli Gardner.
She came in on a groovy bus. The main stage was pretty clever.
The artist Brent Steele does some stamping.
This is Spencer. I have no idea what he does with the company, but he is pretty funny. He was really nervous around us!
Our group. Left to right: Chris, Steph, Me, Ashby, Lindsey. None of them work and so I secretly hate them.
Oh this was funny.
How we are supposed to arrange our days. When is beer drinking day??? Yeah I won’t be following THIS schedule.
We got picked to play the Family Feud.
Look at how we have no idea what the answer is.
All of us, worthless.
This family won’t be getting the steal.
We did get a consolation prize though.
What else are you going to do when you lose the Feud?
See, feeling better already.
The rest of the girls join us in the lounge. We are having a few before attending the awards night.
I really like Crystal’s skirt.
The hot mamas’ lead us over to the Salt Lake Convention Center.
This is our upline Connie. Not only did she make us some amazing things, she is the nicest person you could ever want to know.
Connie and Tammie (another upline) join us for a pic on stage. They have no idea that were are a little hammered.
Its hard to see but Spencer is totally sweating. I told him i might grab his ass.
Those 2 people in the corner do the announcing for the show. Reminiscent of the 2 guys on the muppets, no?
I guess I took this one. Ain’t she purty.
Laaaaa! I’ve found the mothership.
A beacon in the night.
Mugging for the camera with Lindzer.
All these delicious beers. Chris didn’t want to sit at the bar, and Ash doesn’t like draft beer.
Steph and Chris. They shared a lovenest.
Funny thing about Salt Lake. You have to join a club to drink.
I can’t remember the name of this hoity place, but you had to order food to drink there.
Oh I guess Scott wanted you to know what he was doing back at home. These are my pictures, get out!
Anyhow, Lindzer ordered the tuna at the pretentious place. It was SO good.
She ponders how she got so lucky getting me for a roommate.
Looks like she’s thinking about something else all of a sudden.
Connie finds us the next day. We’re all a bit tired.
Shelli on the main stage. Not a bad view from my seat.
Surprise guest speaker Thurl Bailey, a retired Utah Jazz player.
He sang and had us all swooning.
The line to get our picture with him was so long, Chris picks out a boulder to throw at the people in front of us.
If Thurl shows up at convention every year I think we’ll always go.
All the girls bought his cd’s and Lindsey got an autographed pic. Funny.
Saving seats on the last day. We are beat.
Hard to see this but Ash made us all name tags. Mine got lost the first day and Connie found it on the street and returned it. Random!
Trying to show the magnitude of the crowd. Over 4000 in attendance.
Look at all these nutjobs.
Its a stamp thing.
I may be in Mormon-land, but I still need to know what Paris is doing.
I love Hollywood gossip.
I swear. This is obviously another Scott insertion. I believe this is him and Mark on their way to the beach. Now go away.
The mountains right outside our hotel. I was staring at them every day I went running. Really amazing.
Our team name. We were going have Shelli hold this for a pic for Monica, but we couldn’t get to her in time. Ah well, its the thought.
A little bottle of jack. I must be on a plane going home.
Storms caused a delay out of Denver. I didn’t care, I was drunk.
I counted 7 planes right behind us just sitting on the runway.
And then I have this picking me up from the airport. Hope you enjoyed!
