Jay,
The program was great !
I assume it was decided to ship the CD separately once it is done ?
Thanks,
Jerry

Apparently Bill and Scott McCrate ended up with a single king-size bed in their room. Fortunately, the Racine Marriot supplied enough pillows to build a good-sized wall down the middle of the bed.

Bill kept referring to his room as "The Brokeback Mountain Suite."


Cheers,

And Scott slept with his jeans on.

The one big screw-up was not getting a picture of the whole Beerlofting crowd on Saturday night. Give me a beer and rev up my mouth and I pretty much forget everything I'd planned. Luckily I remembered to get Scott to strike the ceremonial "Beer Hawg" pose, so at some point I was thinking straight. In the old days I did a much better job as a "photo-journalist", much to the chagrin of some of my friends.

I should also mention that I took the program into the restaurant when I got home on Sunday. (My brother's birthday.) My wife was paging through it and came to the Centuri Memories section. She immediately zeroed in on my picture. Shaking her head, she asked "What are these people going to think of you?" Then I reminded her that I had recently set fire to a park. Nuff said.

That is correct. The CD takes awhile to be put together. We felt that those purchasing both the program and CD would appreciate getting the program right away vs having it sent with the CD.

Scott

Any recent word on how the NARCON 2006 CD is progressing?

No clue. I sent Scott Goebel a message on our mailing list to see what's up.

Personally, I'd like to hear *exactly* what I said when I introduced Lee Piester!

I basically remember the gist of it. But lemme tell ya, *you* try introducing somebody you really look up to, all the while trying *not* to do the Wayne and Garth "I'm not worthy" shtick!

(Lee later said that I did okay, so that means a lot. But I'd *still* like to know, if possible.)

I'd suggest those of you looking for your CD contact the NARCON event director, Scott Goebel, at zapjolt@wi.rr.com, to inquire about the wherabouts of your CD. After the debacles we had in 2004 and 2005 in getting the CD's produced in a timely manner, I had stated as a committee member that we should not offer a CD for 2006. I was assured that with the new person we had handling the CD that we wouldn't have to wait a year for the CD again. It's now been seven months.

Okay, I've just e-mailed Scott Goebel, so we'll see.
