Don't know how many of you saw this but Fawnia just posted the link to Pole Expo in fabulous Las Vegas.  Since Veena and I are now living here we'll of course be going but we're curious how many people we can plan on seeing there.

Here is the link for more info http://www.studioveena.com/events/v...

SaschaPoles -

If I win the lottery anytime soon I'd be there in a second!!! Instead, I'll just drool over all the pics you guys post when it's over!!! :)

Sublime -

Wish I was going to the Expo.  But if I win the lottery I'm buying Veena a big house in Michigan right next to me. Then I'll pay her major big bucks to be my own personal trainer!  Ahhh, if only........

SexyRockStarsWife -

I'll just have to dream....it happens right when the kids around here go back to school. 

FuzzyNavel -

I'm planning on it!

CalBear -

I will go if anyone's driving from SF.. and wants to share hotel rooms :)

catscruzn -

As long as I can get that weekend off work, then I'll be there!

Mary Ellyn -

I'm coming to this one too! Can't wait!

Nerdasourous -

I am going!

azblanco -

it just so happens my boyfriend's vacation week in the week after this =( 

we have both been wanting to go to Vegas for vacation and just to tour the city and it would have been awesome for all that to fall at the same time.. I may try and still go depending on finances. Won't really know until July... Last minute- but I would love to try and go for the Vegas experience

islandgirl001 -

So far myself and for other girls from Hawaii are going! I hope to meet some (if not all) of you there :)

islandgirl001 -

I meant "four" not "for"  

Kaylie - I am planning on it but won't know for sure until I get my schedule for September!!!

StudioVeena - I hope to see you all there!! :)

nilla -

I'm coming :)

Nerdasourous -

Hey Everyone,

I will be at the Pole Expo with several of my fellow Cleveland Polers. I decided I want to meet as many of my fellow polers as possible and I have a feeling many of you feel the same. So I had a crazy idea to gather everyone's info and send it to each other. That way we can meet up for lunch, drinks, pole parties in our room, know other people in our workshops, or w/e. If you agree you can send the info to j.l.lotus87@gmail.com I will put it all together and send it out a couple days before the expo. Here is the information I was thinking add more if you would like.

Name Jessie (aka J.L.Lotus)

Cell or Email if you have a smart phone (ill send it in the email)

What hotel you are staying in The Palms

what workshops you are taking. So far Zoraya & Marlo's ass class. I will be signing up for more

Where you from: Akron

Cant wait to see you all!

islandgirl001 -

Good idea, nerdasourous (heehee ... LOVE that name!)! I'll send you my info soon. I'll be with the 4 other Hawaii gals so I'll have them send you their info too :)

RoxiCED - Thanks. Got the info. I can't decide what other workshop. Right now I'm between Estee, Pink Puma, or Milchua. Help lol

Nerdasourous - Whoops. That was me. I was logged in under my boss. Double whoops

Chrishana -

Ill be there! Im friends with island girl im one of the four. 

Im taking veenas beginner class, Im super excited for that. I can invert and climb and stuff but its never bad to start from the beginning :)

gummypia -

Me! I'm taking Alethea's classes, BadAzz's, Michula's and the stretching with David Owen. I've always wanted to learn more about PNF stretching! Hope to see you all there... 

Nerdasourous - I bought Michula's class last night. I'm going to die lol.

tarah - I am thinking about going and taking Alethea's class. :)

StudioVeena - I can't wait to meet you Chrishaha!!!! Beginner doesn't mean "easy" so I think you'll really enjoy the class!

StudioVeena - Chrishana* silly iPhone

Chrishana - Ok sweet! I still struggle with ALOT of things, im soooo excited to meet you too! Ihave the hardest time with.the helicopter. From the floor or from a climb it looks the same, I just cant get my but over my head, I think its cause im chubbs lol! See you in a couple months :)

Nerdasourous - As long as you have a great instructor, like Veena, you can learn at any level even if you are more advance. Plus everyone can work on their fundamentals. I may take the class to see what I can pass on to my students and store in my own knowledge vault. Plus I'd like to pick veena and everyone else's brain :-)

Chrishana - Fa sho! You should taje it, then we can be in class together! :p yea I took a break from pole for a couple moths and im paying for it now :/, fundamentalsis the base, without a solid base your no bueno lol I concider myself a beginner anyway :)

Chrishana - You should take it, then we can be in a class together! Yea without a solid foundation your shot, im really looking forward to all the classes

Chrishana - So it looked like.my comment didnt post so I wrote a shorter version and I cant delete it -_- lame...stupid android lol

MaiThai -

I just bought my workshops for the Pole Expo in Vegas... I'm so excited! I would LOVE to meet Veena, although I didn't sign up her workshop =( ... Maybe we will run into eachother though! *fingers crossed*

StudioVeena - @nerdasaurous, yes the workshop will be perfect for instructors and those who want to teach as well!!! Looking forward to meeting you.

Yes, I'm hoping to meet as many of you as I can.

Kaylie - I am all signed up!!! Yeah! I am doing Estee's and Jamilla's workshops!! I may do more if I can get in a bit later!!!

Ly Kieu Le -

@CalBear: I live in the Bay Area 30 mins drive from SF and would love to go with you if you're still planning on it. Let me know.

I won't be going this year, but for future reference, how does this work? Is everything sponsored? The site linked to mentions "workshops on sale," so are certain workshops free, or do you pay for some sort of pass or admissions then everything else is free? Just wanted to get an idea so I can get some ideas for the next Expo :) Thanks!

Webmaster -

This year the pass gets you into the expo, the shows, the parties and the competition.  Some of the workshops are free with an expo pass and others have a cost associated with them.

Webmaster -

There is only one spot left in Veena's - Fundamentals of pole at pole expo get it before its gone!!!! http://www.studioveena.com/users/pa...

MsBKitty -

Sunday September 9th at PoleExpo

SaschaPoles -

I.Am.So.Excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Brumby -

I won a free VIP expo pass, but I can't afford the plane ticket/ hotel/ time off work. =(

Dirty Girl POLEtice -

I'm going!!  I'll be a vendor at this one, so sadly won't get to do any workshops :(

 

Can't wait to see everyone though!

FYI, Me and another studio owner are renting a house, if you don't mind bunking with several others we have room!  It'll be cheap!!  If you are iterested in bunking let us know.  It's a 3 bedroom house with 2 living rooms and of course a kitchen (I don't really want to eat out ALL weekend!)...PLUS, there is a good size back yard with a viranda, bbq and a HOT TUB!  woohoo! 

My friend is bringing her new 45mm, and possibly her 50mm, so we'll have one, but possibly two poles.  I'm renting a car and she is driving.  So there is a good chance of getting a ride to the palms.

Anywho's, let me know!

Summer

Ly Kieu Le -

Summer, how many people will be living in the house and how much is the cost per person? I don't mind even sleeping on the floor as long as it's fun having many people around hee hee. Sharing a house together is a great idea! Just curious if you're going to the pole expo again next year?

Dirty Girl POLEtice -

The number of people will vary by the day (some are one dayers, others are all weekend), but between 4-7.  Two of girls just had to back out due to school craziness, so they are missing the whole thing :(  We have two guys who we are probably going to throw in one room (they are friends so no worries!), or maybe we'll make them be gentlemen and give it up and boot them to the couches! lol

One of the performers is staying with us on Fri & Sat.

Here is a link to the house.  There are plenty of large couches etc.  Cost will be between 25-35 a night, depending on how many people are staying on particular nights.

As for next year, we'll see how this one goes for me.  I'm always wary of first run shows as a vendor, but it IS Fawnia and of course it IS VEGAS!  So two huge positives! 

I think it's gonna be a blast!

 

SashaMae -

I am so jealous! Sharing a house with a bunch of polers in VEGAS sounds like a blast!! Damn. SO wish I could be there :(

Dirty Girl POLEtice -

oops!  forgot the link!

@ Dirty Girl POLEtice

Hot tub.  Now that sounds nice.

Dirty Girl POLEtice -

Yea, I imagine everyone will be a little sore and a hot tub will help! lol  Although, it's super hot in vegas right now huh?  Will have to wait till late in the evening lol

StudioVeena - We use our hot tub all the time during the day. Even when its 100+! It feels nice after you've been swimming in a cool pool for a while. The temps have been pretty nice here and we have had rain often. I think it's going to be in the 90s next week. Mornings and evening are perfect!!

Spinny -

I can't wait to meet everyone there!

Nerdasourous - Can't wait to see everyone tomorrow! Best birthday ever!!! I want to meet as many polers as I can so everyone keep an eye out. I just dyed my hair super dark brown almost mahogany so my pics may not help much and I have no clue what I'm wearing yet.
Jessie (j.l.)

Spinny -

I'm sitting at Gatwick, waiting for KT Coates to join me, our flight leaves at 10am UK time (that's about 3 hours time)

chemgoddess1 -

What were you doing awake at 1am darling Jessie??

Nerdasourous - Can't sleep. I'm going to Vegas!

Nerdasourous - Can't sleep. I'm going to Vegas!

chemgoddess1 -

Oh, yeah, everyone...it is Jessie's birthday this weekend!  Please be sure to SPANK AWAY when you see her!!!!!

Maria_T -

I am so sad.  I wanted to go to this soooooooo BAD!!! I just cannot afford it so everyone who's going please have a complete blast and come back with amazing, crazy, hilarious tales so I can live vicariously through you, lol!!

SaschaPoles -

I'm so excited to meet everybody!!!!! :-D 

Ly Kieu Le -

I envy you guys. Have a great trip and a lot of fun everyone! xoxo

@Dirty Girl POLEtice: Thank you for your reply but so sad I can't make it this time no matter how hard I tried :((... I'm hoping you'll go again next year, and if you do, please pretty please let me know. Have a great trip!

SexyRockStarsWife -

The photoshoot looks like it's going to be a blast. I am there in spirit with everyone!!! Have a great time and can't wait to see pictures, etc  

Krissykiki -

Bumping this thread to pose some questions, i know it's super early but i'm thinking of starting to save so i can attend pole expo 2013 in september! Any advice from those who attended last year? Feedback on the hotel, where to spend money, free versus pay workshops and anything else? Thanks :)

calipolepixie - I'm seriously considering going! Planning on making a definite decision by March. So excited!

calipolepixie - Fyi i mean 2013 pole expo

villainvixen -

Missed it last year. I think I can actually swing it this year :) 

Ly Kieu Le -

When and where is the pole expo this year? Hopefully I can make it this year with you guys.

catscruzn -

Vegas!!  Sept 5th-8th

Ly Kieu Le -

Perfect! Let's plan the trip together :D

catscruzn -

Definitely!  We don't live too far from you.  A few of us from the studio are planning to go together - should be fun!  Although, I suspect we may fly?

Ly Kieu Le - If you want to save the cost, we can all drive together. Otherwise, we can fly. Up to you guys. I'm open either way. Just let me know. And how do we find a place to stay?

catscruzn -

The event is held at the Palm's resort and casino with rooms reserved at a discounted rate for us polers!  Depending on how many of us are going, maybe we can book some adjoining rooms.  Exciting!  Here is the link:  http://www.poleexpo.com

calipolepixie - Reserved my room! And going to order my expo badge in two weeks...now just waiting for workshop prices to post!

If there is anyone else going to the 2013 expo inbox me, so we can stay in touch & meet at some point :)

0LlVlA -

now that i dont have any studio to eat all my money, i will go and enjoy myself! 

phedre - I might go. Entirely depends on new job/college situation.

calipolepixie -

FYI workshops are now posted! I'm sooo excited! I've booked my room & booked two workshops(plan on booking 1 more next week). I wish it was Sept already! I'll keep an eye on this thread because I would love to coordinate a meet and greet and/or pole jams with other Veeners who will be going too! This is my first pole convention and I want to make the most out of it and have as much fun as possible! Squeeeeeeee!

Suemaz Polesilks -

Would love to go   better start saving!

Lana Lee -

I've been asked if I wanted to go by some pole friends, so I MAY just be there!!!

amy -

I'm planning on going! My friend (owner of bodybinds) will be having a booth :)

calipolepixie - Yay! Suemaz, Lana & Amy i'll definitely k.i.t then! Hope to meet you all there! :)

calipolepixie - @capfeb looking forward to meeting you at the expo!

Dancer Ella -

I actually would LOVE to go!! Im not that far away! Im in Southern California- just a 3 hour drive to Vegas!!

calipolepixie - FYI ladies quite a few of the workshops are already sold out, so if want to sign up for any workshops, I'd do it soon because they are selling out quite quickly!
