So, do I go to femmeconne this year?

[stephbg]

At last year's femmeconne I met and connected with old friends, got to know some people better and met some bright new shiny people. That was great.



There were some confrontational aspects to the program (or lack of program), and times where I just couldn't fit in. I lurked on the fringes too much, which made me a little sad. Too many bad memories of childhood camps. I like to hang and chat, really, but it's hard to get into the mode. The screaming children thing is an issue I can't ignore.

This year if I go I will need to self cater, which is no biggie, but if I don't stay overnight and drive there and back at least twice, the costs look quite significant.

But I know that if I do go it will be a great experience and I'll be unlikely to regret it.

What are people thinking? How are you making your choices?

What's my deadline?

*hugs you*

The program i'm in the midst of putting together as we speak - and you were one of the people i wanted to run it by in terms if if you thought it would be a solution to some of the highlighted issues last year - aka more than one stream, and also the flexibility of timing so that there's time enough for each thing but there are options for people who want to continue the discussion.

Also this year there plans to have a time keeper on for half a day at a time - where their job is to clock watch and push people on to the next subject at the right time.

Given there will be a half hour overlap that should theoretically work.

What am I missing?

*cuddles you*

I find the entire experience to be one that is rewarding and amazing, even the hard confrontational bits - I come out knowing myself better as a person, knowing and valuing those around me so much more. I loved your cuddles from last year :)
