    Anyone going this year? If so, I will be there as a keynote speaker. of course women don’t speak so I will be going under a different screen name.

    If they’re going I’d assume they’d be there already and not posting here.

    I’m here right now and, as usual, it’s a beautiful convention.

    ‘Twas awesome as usual. The Mashgiach (R Matisyahu) who doesn’t go very much of anywhere anymore, was here. He came to. MOtzoei Shabbos session. He was sitting the second seat from the podium (next to the Novominsker) and when he was introduced, it took probably 3 full minutes till he could get over to stand at the podium. But once he started, he was so inspirational as always. he went on for nearly half an hour! He spoke about our obligation to give thanks to Hashem for everything in life. You could feel him talking about himself, and his being able to participate, even with all of hus recent health challengees. His presentation was the same as always, maybe with a little weaker voice.

    I was going to bring up this thread again but never got around to it. (way to busy) Midwesterner- nice speaking with you. Popa- what made you think I had something to do with it? The convention was a smashing success! Just a little note to all who attended, appreciate all the hard work that went in to it, because you would never realize what it takes unless you did it yourself. It was great personally meeting R’ Dishon, R’ Matisyahu, R’ Avrohom Schur, and many other great gedoilim.
