[NFBC-Info] NFBC-Info Digest, Vol 196, Issue 14

[Jordan Mirander]

I wished that we  were doing a hybrid convention.

there is nothing like meeting up with friends in the  Restaurant of the hotel.  There’s nothing like meeting up with and catching up with friends in the hanger at LAX Marriott.  There is nothing like  a Halloween  dance like  what  we did In Fremont, California.Sent from Jordan Mirander’s iPhone
