Well, even if we can't do chats, I can certainly record the NABS 
meeting and the Great Gathering-In Meeting.  BTW, I have a lot of 
recordings from state convention if you want them; they're in WAV 
format right now though.

 Hey Josh,

 I know; I don't know if I'm going yet either.  If I am, I
 probably won't have my laptop, but will definitely have my Apex,
 and if they have wifi, I can chat with you and tell you what's
 going on.  I can also record it for you if you want.
