Now if you ask me how the actual food was, I couldn't really tell you. I was having so much fun, I didn't eat that much. I nibbled at my honey dipped chicken, collard greens and potato salad. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to go back!
It was so wonderful to finally meet women in person who I feel like I already know. For me it started with LaChanda and Karen late Thursday night, Brunsli on Friday and then the group at large on Saturday. From the way we hugged, photographed, laughed, photographed, talked, photographed, hugged, photographed you'd of thought we'd all known each other from way back in the day!
A running theme of the gathering was how Sisterlocks look different on everybody! That's a beautiful thing! There was a healthy amount of lock envy/appreciation going on. I think the most often asked questions were:
1. How long have you had your locks?
2. How long does it take you to retighten them?
3. Do you do them yourself?
4. May I touch your hair?
Major kudos to Lynda who brought a goody bag filled with hair toys! GREAT THINKING!! I am loving my jeweled black cowrie shells!

Saturday night was such fun!
Spooky -- we were both blogging about the same thing at the same time! Only, my Laugh Factory post disappeared into the ether.
Saturday was sooo much fun! I felt like Miss Celie. Meeting my long lost sisters who I haven't seen in years.
Didn't make dinner at Amy Ruth's but I did get to go to breakfast there on Saturday morning and it was great.
It is a beautiful thing to see all of that natural black beauty and lock beauty gathered. I'm sure you all had NY on "lock" down!
I think the Sisterlocks and Locked Sisterhood is right up there with a sorority! In this case, membership is open to ALL sistahs!!!
Loved all of your pics and recap. I could feel the love all the way in Texas
