Oprah's Crew Visits for the Weekend

Before the book clubs, car giveaways, and Bob Greene, Bostonist didn't really mind Oprah and her show. Then Ms. Winfrey began her path to spiritual bliss and started her magazine, and now she is a guru of anything having to do with females. So, she’s now pairing up with her own set of “gurus” and is hosting the O You! event this Saturday at the Boston Convention Center. For a measely(!) $95 resgistration fee, you too can join the Oprah-maniacs and listen to the wisdom of Suze Orman, Dr. Robin Smith, and Martha Beck. From there, you can get some fashion, home and entertaining, and health advice at additional workshops.

When we received an e-mail about this event, we were somewhat intrigued since we often catch ourselves mesmerized by Suze Orman about what to do about our 401k and credit card debt. (Plus, we'd like to see Miss O in person.) Yet after scrolling through the event's website, we discovered the kicker to the O You! event. Oprah will not be there, so don’t expect to receive one of her signature high fives when she takes the stage. (We assume that Tom Cruise won’t be jumping on any couches, either.)
