I am really looking forward to Hardy being there and having a chance to show off our Scoots. good for you for giving the workshop. have they figured out the workshop schedule? I am doing both NAAFA and ASDAH workshops, and I plan to arrive a day early so I can scoot around the Smithsonian Institution.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to it too! I have a feeling the whole convention is going to be a TravelScoot workshop for you and me.
ReplyDeleteThe workshop schedule isn't finalized yet. I'm going on Tuesday and will be going to the Smithsonian hopefully on Wednesday or maybe Thursday. I've never been there.
The topic of my workshop is going to be about living as a supersize person.
