[NFBC-Info] NFBC-Info Digest, Vol 173, Issue 5

Tue Oct 8 02:02:51 UTC 2019

Yes, unfortunately, that does not work for all people. I really really want to attend the convention, but i have an appointment that morning. There are afternoon megabusses that goes from anaheim to san jose, california. How much is a lyft/uber ride from there to the hotel? I will definitely be taking the convention  party bus back home.
