[nabs-l] Convention, 2012!

[Chris Nusbaum]

I think the airhorn guy is David Evans.  He was doing it probably 
because the convention was in Orlando and that's a FL thing, but 
I'm not sure.

I was seated in the Arkansas section, and one of the guys from 
the
Florida section was the one that blurted it out.
Yeah, it's a part of life, but it still shouldn't have happened.
I'll investigate, so I can find a way to sit further away from 
that bullhorn.
Thanks, Joshua

 Hello Joshua,

 I do not recall hearing about the comment you refer to in your 
message.
 Perhaps it was just something someone said within earshot of 
where you were

 sitting.  Unfortunately, people sometimes say things others find
 disrespectful.  I think this is simply a part of life.

 As far as the seating arrangements are concerned, the state 
affiliates are
 always seated alphabetically during general sessions.  The only 
exceptions I

 know about is the year they decided to do it backwards, and I 
think
 sometimes they place Maryland in the center of the room or the 
front of the

 middle isle regardless of how this places them in the 
alphabetical order.

 Alphabetically speaking, it would make sense that Florida would 
be somewhere

 behind Arkansas.  If Florida is not somewhere directly behind 
you in your
 isle, it could be they are just behind you in the next section 
over.
 Although I cannot say for sure since I am not too familiar with 
this section

 of the room.  If you find out it is the same this year, perhaps 
you could
 investigate why this may be the case.

 I hope this helps answer some of your questions.

 Take care,
 Elizabeth

 Hi, all.
 I can't wait, until June 29th, when I'll be leaving for Dallas!
 I hope most of you, who are on this list, and attending 
convention,
 will attend the Jaws 14 debut!
 I looked at the agenda, and was shocked to find that there was 
no
 mention of the Blind Driver Chalenge car!
 Will it be in one of the exhibits, this year?
 I never got to look at it, 2 years ago.
 Also, during the general sessions, I'd appreciate it if noone 
says,
 "Viva Mexico!"
 This is the USA, and we should all support our country!
 I know, that this comment was off topic, but that was one thing 
that
 turned me off, 2 years ago.
 Who was that guy?
 Also, someone from Florida keeps blowing some kind of bullhorn!
 Why was Florida seated behind the Arkansas section, two years 
ago?
 Thanks, Joshua
