Here is the link for the Bandster Bash being held in May 07 in Mississauga (ie. Toronto).

I know there is probably a lot of talk about it on that "other" Canadian band site (LOL) but I haven't seen any alluding to it here.

So here ya go for those who are interested.

I actually got the info and site from an Australian!! How ironic is that!

I didn't know there was a for sure date for it yet. I'd *like* to go... I hope I can.

Is it $150 plus hotel? (I imagine, cause that's way too cheap for everything, plus your hotel stay)

What if you bring a guest, do they pay $150 too? And $70 for the dinner only?! My god... I couldn't eat $70 worth of anything, no matter HOW "nice" of a place it is!

I know you're not the one to be asking... I'm just thinking out loud... I'll have to email them, or ask on the other board.

Yeah mandi...that is apparently the price PLUS hotel (approx $110/night for hotel)!!!! I think it is $150 for a guest to attend the conf. too.

I haven't seriously looked into it and don't think I'm going but I thought I'd pass the info on.

Wow...see...I didn't really look...is it really $70 for the meal???OMIGAWD....hellllooooo...bandsters here!!! LOL

Thanks for the info about the Bash. I think it would be fun to attend. For $70.00 we should skip the meal, hirer a limo and go see a play.

I won't be able to attend this bash because of time restraints with both our businesses. However, I think it would be great if we could arrange a "get-together" sometime this year!

You guys would be more than welcome here.....and we cook healthy. But, we are small...it would depend on the size of the group attending. I'm up for anything as long as its in the off season.....Nov to Apr would work out great....we are closed for the month of January and its really easy for me to travel anywhere during that month but not the best for everyone else.

Or...we could meet where Yoda is from, we could stay at Casino Rama!

I just gotta say:

Carol! What are you doing right? 65 lbs in 4 months?! WOO! Good job! If I can do whatever you're doing for the next 4 months, that would be awesome.. to be at 153! OMG that would be amazing. Please share!! You need to start yourself a thread!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
