Fabulous! Allison
I won't be going to either this time. If you like, I'm happy to provide entertainment while all of them are gone. I also promise to send off my imaginary friends--whose names are two embarrassing to mention--to each convention and keep you updated.

Will there be another dance contest like at the CSUN Conference?- Those of you who go, please keep us informed, as some of you kindly did at CSUN, so we can partake in absentia. Otherwise those July weeks will be very boring for us, especially with you gone.

Oh, Shelly, how could you forget Lewis, the behind-the-scenes Bookshare Engineer! You forgot to mention Guido's offer to dance with Judson after a few drinks and Gustavo trying to pull away Lewis from the huge dessert display case.

Oh, Cindy, believe me some of it is literal, smile.
I met up with Pratik, Guido, Donna Smith, Louis, and
Gustavo, at the Pittsburgh ACB convention what was it two years ago,
and I honestly don't think Cristo's Greek Grill will think of blind
people ever the same way again. Was quite a lot of fun, and not a lot of
alcohol, not really smile. We were their only customers that night but we
stayed three hours, and had all the courses, including dessert, yum, and talked
of a lot of things including Christian Romances from the nether region,
smile.
But it was fun, and getting there was great too, as
I think Gustavo was the only one who was normally sighted out of the group. But such fun, and Guido, is really that interesting in person.

The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs.

Kasondra,
As you can probably tell by now, things here on the list get pretty crazy before conventions. The party hats and other things that guido probably will bring, like bottle of wine and stronger stuff to drink to Marissa's health are probably virtual. Everybody seems to have so much real fun, ithough, as well as virtual fun -- and sees so much new and wonderful technology -- and now IBM is having job interviews. Wonderful.
Have fun all of you. We atay-at-homes will miss you. (Maybe you'll find a replacement for Marissa there -- I nominate Carrie, though,m or doesn't she want a full-time job.)
