Hi Allison,
I, for one, really enjoyed your long message. You said this is your first
year at CSUN, but where did you meet these guys before? Was that at a NFB
or ACB convention? I just assumed it was CSUN. <smile>

Hi guys!
This is just the usual Allison now subscribed under my other email address.
I set vacation mode for CSUN, and then decided I didn't wanna stay using
that email anyway, so resubscribed.
I'm back from L A and still living. I think that, if I
work on it, I may even remember what went on there. All the palm trees, the
square dancing, and eight hundred and three people crowding the Benetech
booth made it a pretty wild time, all be it now just a lil blurry in my
mind.
It was my first CSUN, and I had a blast. Being able to be there with
Bookshare made it even better. And in response to everyone's two most
burning questions. Yes, the Bookshare bunch is just as nice, and as totally
weird, as they seem over the list. And, yes, I was the one who tipped off
the police as to where Pratique was. Sorry Prat! But they were offering me
money, and I need it to afford all the purchases that CSUN lead me to wanna
make! Seriously guys, there is some really amazing stuff there. I loved
walking the exhibit halls, It was incredible, I really want it all! Bad
things really could happen to my credit card at that conference.
I liked being able to get to know a lot of you in person while there. Donna
was a complete sweetheart and rescued my Braille Note for me. Noel and I
discovered some shared writing interests. I finally grasped that E, on the
list, and the woman called Liz in the volunteer meeting are actually the
same
person. I learned all about Darrell's obsession with Tom Clancy. And
Pratique?
Yup, a great guy, but Well, yeah, we already know what happened there.
Bookshare did a small volunteer gathering that I thought went very very
well. There were some great people with some really good ideas.
Marissa did a nice job at that meeting keeping everybody in line and on
topic. That said, I think I preferred the after hours Marissa at the bars,
but that's a whole other story! <smile>.
Now I'm off to go try and get myself back into the mind-set of school and
work. <sigh>.
Allison
