The crowds pouring down the hallway from the casino. The sea of tables in the Conrad/Barron complex. The 30 tons of equipment and supplies we brought in. 3000 hot dogs on Friday night. Elvis – three times. And, the bridge, lots and lots of bridge. This is the largest NABC the Insider has been associated with and, judging from the comments, one of the best. We appreciate the input you have provided. The good, the bad and even the ugly. We try to react to the bad and ugly. Usually we succeed, sometimes we meet brick walls – literally in the case of moving the upstairs restrooms down one level to make them more convenient. But, we do want to hear what you have to say, it helps us do our job better – now and in the future. The Insider will be making periodic entries on The Insider blog found on each NABC web page linked to the main ACBL home page. Check it out to see what tips and hints we can provide for upcoming NABCs. We hope we are able to inform and entertain, just as we hope our little space in the Bulletin has done. We’ll be back in the Boston Daily Bulletin – as long as the Bulletin Boys and Boss Baum will tolerate us. Ask Me Girl will also be in her selected spot in Boston offering directions, answers and a smile. The usual cast of ACBL characters will be there. And, an energized group of local volunteers are just chomping at the bit to show you all a good time Boston style. Thanks one last time for coming, playing and staying in Las Vegas, see you on the other coast starting on Nov. 20 at the Copley Connection. Make your reservations now, if you haven’t already. The whole team will be ready to welcome you for another great NABC – don’t miss it. Daily Bulletin Page 9
