Registration for Fabbulas - Coming to Philadlephia NOV 21-22, 2009

Wanted to share that you can register online for the first ever (hopefully annual) FABBULAS conference.

Super excited to have a seminar of this caliber in my neck of the woods and really hoping to meet some of you there! My understanding is that the pre and post Classes schedule for all the instructors will be available early August. You have to be registered for the Conference (sat/sun) to be able to register for the classes though. Spoke with Cyde (pronounced Sid) and she is very on the level, so don't be shy to call and ask questions. ;0) IS ANYONE THINKING OF COMING?? Speak!.. LOL

I am SO in, Avigail! I can't wait, it is already on my calender...I have been waiting for a convention in our area, and the list of instructors is already impressive. I never get the chance to travel far for conventions due to my small children, so this ROCKS!
I hope they get a good turnout, it can only mean better classes for us!

Likewise! I was so disappointed when the 2 day Wolfe Brothers workshop in PA was canceled, but it seems everything really does happen for a reason! Same money and tons more instructors to learn from. Heck, if we can share a room it'll be just $25 each.. (need two more, its 4 to a suite) and then we can paint to ALL HOURS! I have never been to any workshop or conference, and only wish it was SOONER! ;0)

And yes I have already regsistered.

WHO ELSE OUT THERE IS FROM NEIGHBORING STATES? OR PA?

BTW - for those outside of PA - Kerry Ann Smith is terrific and local to philly. Look her up - she is also a very successful business woman and I would love to hear her speak about that.

Best,
Avigail

Is this the weekend before or after Thanksgiving? I am in WV.

its the weekend before. thanksgiving is on Nov 26, 2009.
Metina it would be so cool to meet you! You are such a powerhouse and well, I'd be thrilled!

What do you think about the idea of a business class - maybe more along the lines of pricing larger jobs, hiring, expanding.. I am wary of the Philadelphia Painting Tips brand of generic marketing tips. I would, however, love to learn from the professionals we meet what their business experiences - highs and lows have been.

what do you all think?
If it is interesting to folks other than myself, I'll contact Fabbulas/Cyde about it.

Best.

That sounds great. I would love to help out in any way I can. I think I remember Gary Cole is there and he does loads on this. I could read all of his suggestions all day!

I am really stoked now since it is before.

Okay, so now that is looks like my job is ending (boo! i hate being unemployed ) I'm more interested in this class, especially since I just saw the message about Mark Reid joining the team. (small squeee! - I've been wanting to take a Reid class FOREVER).

Is anyone from NYC looking to go? Anyone looking to share a room? Us poor unemployed painters will probably have to take the train and share a room if we're to be able to go... ::le sigh::

You could share a room with someone not from NY. Just meet them there. Just a thought!

Oh, I wasn't looking to just share a room with a NYC-er. I was just wondering if anyone from here was going. Thought it might be nice to have some company on the train and on the way out to the hotel.

I would love to go...i'm from PA originally (Scranton though, not Philly). Can't afford it right now though...but it really sounds awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'll be there! looking forward to meeting all of you Is there anyone local who would possibly be willing to give me a lift back to Temple in the evenings of the convention? Getting there is not an issue but would prefer not having to deal with the creepiness of walking around Temple's campus at night, even though it's extremely well lit.

I think I am going to attend. Is it suitable for a brand new face painter? (beginner level)

I am at the same level as you and I am attending so you're definitely not alone

great!!!

hello everyone!! i'm planning on attending and will be looking for someone to share a room with. just one other person. just to give u a heads up I'll be 8 months preggo so i'll probably be going to bed early (like 11pm) and is going to try to get as much sleep as i can. I don't care if u smoke just not in the room of course and i'm going to try to be low key. so if u want to share a quiet room, let me know!!

thanks everyone,

First of all, Hi Irene! Welcome to the forum, fellow MD painter : )

Second, does anyone know if there have been any updates on the schedule, that is timing etc. for planning purposes?

I am trying to figure my finances/child care to get there - I will be driving from NY. I wouldn't mind carpooling. I live rt next to the Metro North.

does anyone know if they offer a one day registration? I can't attend on 11/21, but can come on 11/22.
Thanks!

Does anybody know if we were supposed to get any information about the workshop after we have signed up and paid? I've haven't heard anything and i just wanted to make sure my information got sent before i make the trek up to Philly. Thanks guys in advance!

Did anyone ever hear if they will do one day registration? I can not do Saturday but really want to go Sunday and maybe Monday for a post class.

Yes - I received an email saying they would do a one day registration for $100

Thanks Katy! Are you going to go? I think I will book it tomorrow, Saturday night to Sunday So excited but nervous, I am a total beginner but thought this is too close by for me to pass up the learning opportunity!

I really want to go, but Saturday is my daughter's 3rd b-day and we're having a party. I'm not sure if we're going to have family staying with us. If they do stay with us I can't really scoot out easily. I'm hoping to find out soon what their plans are - I would REALLY like to take the post conference workshop sunday pm with Karen - which I might be able to swing if family leaves early!!

I totally understand that, I have a two year old son, his parties turn into major events! I am aiming to go late Saturday and stay Sunday and maybe the Monday post class. I hope to see you there if your schedule allows it. They did say they would have child care available for a fee.
