Heelster Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 As it's hard to plan that far ahead, I am a slim possibility. I voted maybe, and I'd love to go. All depends on too many variables at this time. My wife going with me?? - - - Not a chance. - - -Steve 63130 - - Car pooling might be an option.
Steve63130 Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 Heelster, Car pooling is very possible. Just let me know, even at the last minute. If we go, we're driving, so we can pick you up. I'm pretty sure my wife will join me, unless she gets a better offer (how would THAT be possible? LOL). Steve
AZShoeNut Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 I would love to go however budget will not permit it. Best, AZShoeNut Life is short... Â Wear the bleeping shoes!

hoverfly Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 I might be attending. Hello,  my name is Hoverfly. I’m a high heel addict…. Weeeeeeeeeee!  👠1998 to 2022!
ChipsHH Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 Ooooh! Another chance to attend my first Heel Meet??? I just have to...hope for a job, the right amount of money, the transportation, AND the chance to get on the bandwagon. Then I'll be a YES x10! I may have to snag along a 'heeling' lady friend to accompany me, so put me down as a "Maybe times two" Formally "HHDude"
Bernheels Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 As I said before - I will be attending!! I am coming from the Holland Michigan area and will be driving myself at this time. If there is anyone from around my area - or on the way to Chicago that needs a ride - I would be happy to share. Once we find out about rooms - I would be open to getting a suite and sharing with others. It is always more fun if we hang out together! Let me know if anyone is interested. Bernheels
iloveboots Posted December 15, 2012 Author Posted December 15, 2012 Looks like we have 7 members so far as attending or maybe. Cool! Hope to hear from many more. The private club we have booked can hold up to 100. Let's fill it up! Have now completed a hotel search and will post the hotel list on Sunday. Have kept it to 3 hotel types, economy, medium price and deluxe, so there is choice. Also, all the hotels are within a few miles to reduce taxi costs etc. There may be members who are travelling in and staying at a hotel who will be interested in splitting costs. Post a note on here if you are either willing to share a room or are looking for someone to share with. Many of us will be arriving the day ebfore, on March 1....if you are also let us know. We will have an evening out planned for March 1 as well. SpikesMike will remember a fun lounge/bar we went to at the last Chicago meet.....that may be in the cards for March 1. Cheers, David "Dress For Your Own Pleasure"
Bernheels Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 David, Thanks for the update! Can't wait. Been awhile since my last heel meet. I have collected quite a few pairs of boots of all styles! I am interested in sharing a room if there are others - or yourself that would like to share. We could get a nicer room and strut our stuff! Not sure if I would be able to get away on Friday. If I did - I wouldn't get there until after 9:00pm. Would that still work with your Friday night Plans? I hope there are more that join in on the fun. Bernheels

iloveboots Posted February 27, 2013 Author Posted February 27, 2013 We are T - 2 days ! Cool!! Thank you everyone who has written to say you will be there....and thank you for the heads up from those who are unable to make it. Off to have a great heel meet!! David "Dress For Your Own Pleasure"
spikesmike Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 David If you attend the 4th Annual High Heel Meet, Will you be wearing high heels while there. NOT those short heels but the real thing. I'll be on my way Friday morning. Hope the weather dosn't suck. See you there. spikesmike. >>>>> The one who knows how to wear real high heels.
Bernheels Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I will be in heels driving there and back home. No man shoes on thos trip. Nothing less than 5 inch heels all weekend. See u there. Bernheels
HappyinHeels Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 I enjoyed meeting iloveheels, the fellow from Alberta, spikesmike, and Bernheels who sat right next to me. Gary Page from Skyscraperheels also told me on the way back to his store (I dropped him off) he really enjoyed meeting you all. There should be no doubt who can and can't wear heels where I'm concerned, you guys rocked your boots while I wore my Jessica Simpson "Carlow" sandals which showed just a little of my light purple toes but lots of 6" stiletto heel. Wished more members were there but I think the main event was Saturday noght. To all who thought about going but didn't I'd say try a little harder next year as it is worth it. I drove about an hour and 30 minutes to spend about one hour and 45 minutes with these guys because I always honor my social commitments so I'm careful what I say yes to. It took me nearly four years to meet anyone from here but patience and determination are in my DNA when it involves something I really like doing.
