Rollercon!

In just a few days, I will board a plane and head to Vegas for the very first time.
My dear friend, Emmye is rescuing/entertaining me for my first 48ish hours in Vegas - Thank Heavens for her!

For 2 days, I get to relax and enjoy Vegas, the summer, and some quality time with Em.

But Wednesday, the convention starts!
I'm super de duper jazzed that Brawl Things Considered is letting me tag along with her on my first day of Rollercon, since she's an experienced Rollercon dame (and of course, she's wicked awesome). ;D

There are SO many classes I want to take, so many lectures and discussion and round tables, that it gets a tiny bit overwhelming. When do I eat? When do I sleep? How long will I be waiting in lines to get into the classes? :)
BUT. I will be with some of my favorite ladies in (and out) of SRG! Seven Deadly Shins, Shotgun Shell (and her lovely lady, The Haag), and Rusty Razorskates (who will always be an SRG lady at heart, but is now hanging with the ladies of Windy City) will be my roommates for this lovely journey. I couldn't be happier! What a bunch of stellar skaters, people, and friends.

Getting to the point! (I'm especially rambly today...)

People have been finding my blog searching for "Rollercon Checklist"...
So, if you're looking for one, I'm going to give it to you!

I've comprised the suggestions and thoughts of other skaters and my pals who live in/are familiar with Vegas to present to you this glorious list! I hope it helps out :D
