She Speaks 2008

If you are going to the She Speaks 2008 conference... here are some details just for you.

If you are not coming to She Speaks, I could still use your help with detail numbers one and four.

Detail number one:

Every year at She Speaks, the P31 team walks in to some hip, upbeat song to kick off the conference. While no one has yet mistaken us for contestants on "So you think you can Dance," we do have a lot of fun with this opening number.

I'm thinking several of you are great music minds.

You know... people who can recall the exact song title, group that sang it, what the album cover looked like, and the color of legwarmers the back up dancers wore. Yeah they can bring all that to mind while humming the exact tune of the chorus lines.

Do you know people like this?

Does this describe you?

I need your help.

I need a song. And a dance. But not like a flipping over onto your head break dance, dance. Just a fun, wave your hands in the air, get your blood pumping, walk in kind of dance.

But let's start with a song first. Any suggestions?

Detail number two:

If you are coming to She Speaks and you are a blogger, be sure to link to the Mr. Linky system below. I thought it would be fun for attendees to spend some time hopping around to each other's blogs before the conference.

Detail number three:

Big Mama is featuring business casual ideas on her Fashion Friday blog post this week.

Dress code for She Speaks is business casual. This does not mean you have to pull out your most high and tortuous heals to wear. Take it from someone who wound up with numb toes last year, you will do your fair share of walking. So, pack sensible shoes. You will thank me.

And check out Big Mama's suggestions. She will have some good ideas to help us look cute. And really when you gather that much estrogen under one roof, cute is fun.

Detail number four:

Our executive director, LeAnn, has had some strange things happen to her this week. A snake greeted her in her driveway the other night and then today at lunch she bit into her perfect looking apple only to discover it was completely rotten inside. We teased her that she better not start dressing in fig leaves.

Seriously, we have a sold out crowd of over 500 women coming to this year's conference. We know God has some amazing things in store for us all. So, we need people praying. And then praying some more. Thank you so much!

Detail number five:

Lisa over at Simply His Blogger has some great insights and interviews to help you prepare for She Speaks. Plus she also has a blog roll going of people who will be attending this year. Check her out.

And lastly, Shannon at Rocks in my Dryer is asking for your suggestions today regarding bloggy etiquette. You may want to head over there and post a comment... because really I think I have the most etiquette savvy readers around--- y'all are great.

And by the way, Sharon Sloan wants to know how many of us will be wearing the Denim duster from TJ Maxx that I mentioned my friend Meredith helped me buy. You know the $24.99 one that officially became my speaking uniform this spring. She's trying to figure out if we are going to have a Denim Duster reunion or just leave them all at home.

And technically that's 3 details crammed into detail number 5 but y'all are so nice, I can do that sort of thing.
