[nabs-l] phone numbers at night clubs

[Jedi]

you should always carry a cane with you even if you use a dog. You 
never know when you will want or need to get somewhere independently.

If you have a dog or want to avoid the inconvenience of a straight cane 
(when dancing for example), use a telescoping cane or folding cane. A 
night club is the last place a young lady or gentleman should be 
without a traveling tool of some kind.

Respectfully,

PS. I would not take a notetaker to a club nor would I just hand over 
my phone. If your phone is hnaccessible, just call yourself and leave a 
message with your rontact's info for later filing.
