Okies.... many people have been asking for the pictures and I have also been eager to see pictures and videos from the gathering. Well... I have both but creating a short video from the 2+ hours would be quite a task...and will definitely not be today but I will do.... very soon...

Gosh there are so many invited guests whose faces are missing here... :-( Looks like I might have to look for more pictures to upload later. I'm actually quite upset that the photographer never took pictures of the break out sessions...which to me was the MOST IMPORTANT PART of the whole event. But I think others did so I'll just visit the other blogs and retrieve from there and of course give credits.
Ok! Phew! Now I'm beat! It took forever to upload those pictures! I'm off to catch a quick nap now...
