The conference is held at the St. Charles Convention Center in Missouri, but the hotel that is attached is called the “Embassy Suites.” In this picture you can see the lobby and breakfast area from 6 stories up.

There were a lot of other young men going to Mr. Potter’s sessions
I’m not sure why but I found this picture of a headless listener very funny.

In a lot of the Civil War-era photos the subjects aren’t smiling so we took a few photos without smiling either
Some filmmakers at the conference were filming a scene with a Civil War dance so we all volunteered for a few hours to be in front of the camera. I’ll post a link to the film on this blog whenever it becomes available.
We got to know the Mays family a lot better at this conference and my brothers and I spent most of our time with their son, Nate.

I sold this clock to Nate, but he only paid me with Confederate money.
During the last evening of the conference there was a Civil War ball (hence all of the lessons we had taken for the past few months.) There were a lot more people there for the ball and also in costume than I had ever imagined. I am not a very good guesser but there were probably 300 dancers on the floor.
The video I got from the ball isn’t as good as the footage I’ve filmed at the dance lessons, but I’ll post a few videos from the ball whenever I have the time.
