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.

all that, but yeah.

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.
