I know; maybe I can get into Great Gathering In via Skype.  I 
don't know if the NABS Web site people are recording the seminar, 
but I hope they are.  BTW, you're going, right?

 Oh, and Josh, I unfortunately am not going to the NABS meeting 
or
 Great Gathering In either; stupid school, LOL! I don't know if
 Gary can still Skype us into Great Gathering In, but if he or
 someone else can't, I guess we'll have to read the report in the
 Braille Monitor.

  Ah, i see.  Yes, true.  Anybody see the Ravens game? Sorry for
  hijacking
  a thread, but curiosity killed the cat lol.  Not sure if you're
  from
  here  in md Melissa, but let's just say the ending was...  idk,
  bad.

   No, you are right.  The invitation always stands for you to
  attend
   some of our events.  I don''t have to do any community 
service,
  but I
   do because it makes my resume look a lot better.

   Ah yes, community service.  my service learning hours (as
 that's
  what
   my school calls them) are done with, but it'd be nice to get
 out
  and
   about :)

   Alright.  And also, you can find other opportunities to meet
  students
   from all over Maryland by staying updated on some of the 
events
  MDABS
   will be running, sponsoring, and supporting.  We are going to
 do
   several community service events this year, so this may be
  helpful for
   you.

   Hey Josh!  if you are interested in coming, you could always
  just
   come
   for the weekend.  I know missing school isn't most students'
  intent,
   but just consider the positives if you did.  It's a special
  chance
   to
   meet hundreds of students from across the country who could 
say
  the
   words that could help you in any of your struggles as a blind
   student
   or give you ideas for fun pass-times.  BISM would appreciate
  your
   presence even if it ends up being for a day or two.

   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.

    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.
