Guest guest Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hey Lynda and Graham, > Hey Chris and all- > > Couldn't help but notice that you have adopted the name for your get-together > that Graham and I developed for our two widely advertised Aromatherapy > Un-Conferences we had here in Tucson. If it is wrong then I take full credit for the misdeed. Truth is .. neither Chris nor anyone else I am aware of even gave a minute of thought to a conference this year .. I stuck her in the Hot Seat without her permission cause its my personality and training to " volunteer " folks for things they are not aware of .. and the term " UnConference " was one I pulled out of my memory because you and Graham had done them on two occasions before. So .. now that we know who the dreaded culprit is .. I'll move on down and reply to the rest of the post. ;-) > We don't remember anyone asking us if this was okay. :-) Correct .. but when one goes into the ASS - U - ME mentality .. as I did it often makes an Ass out of U and Me .. so I will take the hit on this one. Dang .. I wish the folks in our Gummit would stand up and take the hits for themselves instead of sacrificing their subordinates in that regard. ;-) > We'd both appreciate it if you all could find another name to call your > meeting by, as we feel this infringes on our intelectual property. I understand where you are coming from and can't disagree with your rationale .. so the name will NOT be UnConference .. it will be some other name and I apoligize for overstepping my authority .. well, actually .. I ain't got no authority no more .. so I will apoligize for my zeal in rooking Chris and a few other folks into doing something that I wanted them to do .. but I can't help doing so cause its a part of my training and character. ;-) > While we are flattered that our conferences were obviously popular enough > that others want to continue them and to use the name that we coined, no > one has asked us for permission to use that name. Understood .. and I accept the hit on that and I agree. > We don't want to sound petty about this, but it was a name and a concept > that we spent a lot of time, money and effort developing and we feel the > name is associated with our business of Luna Aromatics. Accepted .. at least speaking for myself .. and I am the instigator for this. AT Summer Fling or Texas AT Whing Ding or whatever is finer'n frog hair with me .. and hoping I am that you and that Welsh-American dude you be married to will make the " WhatEverTheHeck' AT Shindig. ;-) > Hope this finds you all well, and enjoy your get-together! Speaking for me .. Finer'n Frog Hair split three ways I am. Been out with the fellers having a Toddy or three .. and I betcha can't even get close to guessing how many times I proofed this post in order to make it sound fairly reasonable and not have no friggin mispelled words. ;-) > Best wishes- > Lynda > Graham Sorenson Yep .. and to y'all .. have a gud'un .. and keep smiling. :-) Butch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Hey Butch- And I can't tell you how much we miss the old days of the 'real' conferences, which was the conversation that happened in the bar after the supposed conference was closed for the day. We had some great conversations back then, eh? Thanks so much for not taking offense at my post, because you know none was intended, just as we know no one had any notion of stepping on toes with the name. And we appreciate you standing up and taking the credit, tho I admit I was just walking past the computer (which is still always on) and seeing the title of the post and saying, Hey, wait a minute! :-) So I didn't know and it's not important where the idea came from. Like I said we are flattered that you all must have enjoyed our Un-Conferences enough to want to carry the idea on. We had some great times. The shame of it all for me is that I am still so extremely sensitive to any and all scents. So going to any such get togethers is just out of the picture for us - or me, that is - and I really, really do miss the old crowd. Well, most of them, at least. :-D So if anyone is ever passing through Tucson, please do look us up for a meal, and we have a big convertible sofa if anyone needs a bed for the night. You are most welcome at any time. And I thank Chris, too, for always being so gracious to allow me to stick my two cents in once in a blue moon. I hope you all have a great time, and hey, raise a glass to us while you are there, huh? waving- Lynda Graham Sorenson http://Luna-Aromatics.com Come and stick your nose in our business The Home of " Arizona Balm " the Natural Solution to Problem Dry Skin.
