[nfb-talk] Future NFB Conventions

[Darian Smith]

Yeah, the best rates I've seen were for state convention (85 per
night) that was even in  freemontt near transit that would take you
an hour to get you  to san fran.
 San Fran is a nice place to visit, though a friend remarked that
essentially it's lost it's charm.
 It's fine for a day of  touring and as far as resources is concerned,
 the blind of california don't have it bad by being in the bay area,
if you can afford it.
