Leah and I attened one in Denver, Colorado in march of 2001. It was called Gold Rush. We found it to be very informative. About 500 to 600 TS's from acrosss the comunity spectrum were in attendence. We can relate to the comment about those in the hotel being in the minority that weekend and were definitly watching and gaucking. The entertainment was good too. They had a dinner and dance and runway modeling contest for those brave enough to enter and a talent show. The lectures and speaker were wonderfully full of great question and answers time as well. The topics covered the wide spectrum of the TS community too. DR's and Therapists and even a SO for many years. I think one of the best parts was the "Vender Mall". They had all the hard to find items such as large size shoes, largesize wigs, breast forms, large-size clothing for the tall, accessories shopping for belts, scarves, purses ect., also under garmets corsets, sinches, briefs with hip padding pockets and the pads, bras in large sizes too. For the most part it was a positive experience. We did meet some we stil are in contact from time to time with.
Smiles,
