    I don't miss getting burnt in the morning, and then freezing in the afternoon at outdoor conventions.

    BTW, what on earth are hoagies, and shasta sodas?

    LOL @ all your comments.

    No one letting you cut in the line to the women's restroom when you have diarrhea. (They learned)

    Prisca - Hoagies are sub sandwitches. The WTS would provide the most disgusting Italian dressing to go on top of them. Shasta is a cheap brand of soda pop...and they always served that nasty Shasta warm!

    Oh where do I even start?!

    A hoagie is a sandwich. A convention hoagie is mistaken for a sandwich at first glance, but is anything but real food. Remember it's convention food so it comes from the cheapest source they can find. The stale bread is tough as shoe leather. The "meat" is most likely made from parts of *animals* that I'd rather not even think about. And probably not just farm animals either. Let's see, what else went on a hoagie? Been so long I can't even remember. Don't think I want to.

    Shasta is a cheap cola. It came in 2 flavors, cola and lemon-lime. Ok, you know how when you go into your grocery store and there's brand name sodas like Coke and Pepsi? Then you come to the store brand sodas. They're not too bad if you're trying to save money and REALLY thirsty but they're not that great either. Shasta would be what you find on the bottom shelf in that aisle at your grocery store. On the bottom shelf in one corner. With dust and cobwebs on the cans because no one will buy it. Matter of fact, I've never heard of any company coming forward and accepting responsibility for manufacturing Shasta. It may actually be a company owned by the WTS.

    I don't miss ANYTHING about the conventions. But I will say that I guess I didn't have it as bad as some of y'all. The Macon Coliseum at least had air conditioning and they did keep the temperature halfway comfortable. Maybe that's just my opinion because I don't get hot until the temp is well into the 90's.

    Mike.

    I remember the sign holding dubs. The signs said "Please be seated", "Please keep moving" and "Please keep quiet", no body every paid attention.

    You should have had your own sign that you could whip out at the right time: "Please mind your own business!"

    I remember one year when I was making the hoagies! We all had to wear gloves, you know, the plastic clear ones. At the end of my session, I noticed I only had 9 plastic fingers on my gloves, one had broken off in one of the sandwiches! Hah, I wonder who got a bit of my glove in their hoagie?!

    Having someone pass a note to my father (elder) saying how me and my friends were talking and laughing during the session which meant that not only did I get my ass chewed and probably grounded but I had to sit with my parents the rest of the convention.

    Rocking side to side in your seat to try to keep your arse from going numb.

    Trying to keep from getting a knot on my head when I fell asleap in my chair and my head fell over and bumped the top of the chair.

    I sure don't miss the ties around my neck!
