Tuesday Afternoon -- The NMA Reunion is open for business.

Stepanie Rowland and Deb Holl opened the registration room today, and MUs have been signing in throughout the afternoon. Since the reunion begins tomorrow morning, sensible MUs--yes, they do exist--arrive a day early to get settled in and shoot the breeze with each other before the craziness begins.

The NMA Reunion is a good kind of crazy. There's always something happening, a rehearsal, a jam session, a concert, dinner, cocktail hour. And. Of course, stories. (Every time I pass Jim Richards in a passageway, he's got another.)
