    ok so I have contemplated going since november… I kept saying why go because I am too beginner to get anything out of it and am not strong enough… Well I decided- why the hell would I tell myself that- any level is invited to this event and can benefit from workshops. I have my plane ticket and hotel booked and paid for- so its official now… I have to stay at the Hilton next to the Marriot because the Marriot didn't have any rooms left.

    I wanted to do a VIP workshop with Alesia Vazmitsel but I firgured I will stick with what I have because I think its fair to let the advanced polers has the VIP Spots

    Friday- I am doing Lou Landers Beginner Polesations 8:30-9:30pm

    Saturday I didnot book anything yet mostly because I am contemplating on what workshop would be best for my level. I may not do one at all.  I obviously wouldn't throw myself into a VIP workshop with Felix Cane or Cleo. LOL

    As soon as Jessalynn posts the price for the Costume Design with Amber Ray- I really want to sign up for that

    There are a lot of the speaker siminars I would like to go to. And of course I want to watch all the performance that day and night.

    Sunday- I am doing the Pole Star Workshop with Anatasia and I have an Alethea Austin Private

    I am excited I am doing a private with Alethea- I figured since she will be my last workshop at the Convention I want to focus on strickly stretching and floorwork.

    I have seriously been working hard the last few weeks to build as much strength as much I can for the convention and just for pole in general.  I have noticed improvement in my strength and hope this is a good idea for me to go.

    I would love to meet some of you Veeners.

    Also- Jessalynn has added a TON more workshops for those of you who weren't able to buy what you wanted due to everything selling out.

    I keep eyeing the headstand/handstand workshop also.  I have panic attacks at the thought of handstands 🙁  I tried beginning steps few years ago and keep wanting to try every now and again with no luck.  I recently got some help and am getting the hang of headstands.  So is this workshop for people like me who have not accomplished it yet??

    I've also ordered my sv buttons for pole convention!!  Anyway else we'll be identifying each other for those who don't have buttons?

    I’m signed up for that workshop although the name has now changed to “hand balancing” which is a little more intimidating! I don’t do hand or head stands only elbow and shoulder. I say DO IT!!! Your headstand is looking GOOD Hooked and it’s a workshop to learn how to make it better 🙂

    one workshop that really stood out was Nadia and Mina's double workshop on the Saturday of the convention. I know some of you participate in doubles and there is not a doubles workshop being offered at the convention

    azblanco – YAY! so glad you're coming! come and say hi! I went as a beginner last year and had a blast. There really is something there for everyone.

    So excited to meet all of you ladies! It's coming up so quick! Is anyone staying after the convention? A few gals and myself are staying from the Friday (start of convention) until the following Friday. Would love to hang out with everyone on and off the pole 🙂 We were thinking about checking out some studios across LA while we're there.

    Lemme know lemme know! 🙂

    @sair that sounds awesome! Santa Monica yeah! Are you girls sharing rooms or are looking for roomates for the rest of the stay?

    Also, I don't think bespun wil be having any daytime classes b/c they'll be having the pole camp during the day. But they'll be having their regular evening classes! Which should be fun! I'd really wanna spend more time there hmmm….
