AA's 80th International Convention -

Anyone going?

NoelleR

Yup, yup, yup.....I'm going. I've registered (+ confirmed), and got my hotel reservations....all I need now is the transportation---the airline won't take a reservation this early; gotta wait till the end of December......

I went toe the one in San Antonio in 2010; it was great.....!

Oh, wow - my home town! I haven't been to a meeting in years, but AA is firmly a part of my recovery.

I will keep this in mind and am hoping to register. Funny thing, it's being held at the motel I once met up with a friend of mine from SR when her husband had a business trip.

Thanks for the heads up!

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

we were thinking of bringing a carload there, not sure what will happen, though......

"...it's being held at the motel I once met up with a friend of mine from SR when her husband had a business trip..."

I don't know to what convention you're referring, but I believe this AA International Convention is being held at the Georgia World Congress Center and the big meetings will be in the Georgia Dome.

For those interested, here's a link to AA's official announcement...........:

Alcoholics Anonymous : 2015 International Convention of Alcoholics Anonymous

See y'all there..............

P.S. ...a motel might be a tad bit small for the 50,000+ expected attendees.....eh?

Where are we all meeting?

That's the question, ain't it?

Tommyh

some of us have been talking but we have not made firm plans yet,we better get it done.

NoelleR

"...this AA International Convention is being held at the Georgia World Congress Center and the big meetings will be in the Georgia Dome..."

Did this not answer your question..?

Impurrfect

I may be wrong, but think Trach was asking about a meeting after the meeting? Would be really nice to put faces to the SR names we know so well.

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

You're right Amy! I want to see some faces! I've met one from here. You can't believe how comfortable it is to meet another SR member.

Registered a couple months ago, along with room at the suggested hotel.

I'm going with a couple of friends. This will be my first.

NoelleR

Whoops, sorry, I must have misunderstood; it really is time for new glasses. Perhaps someone here who is going will take it upon him/herself to contact all us'n who are going (pm or e-mail or whatever), and create some kind of plan....for meeting or meals or something.........eh?

P.S. Hey jimtinmpls, your first AA International Convention, or your first AA Convention?

PaperDolls

I'll be there.

CousinA

Maybe. Money will be tight next year because I'm buying an apartment. I have an old sober friend who lives in Atlanta and may be able to couch surf with her or one of her friends.
