The Hampton Inn dodges the eternal question.

Packing for the NMA Reunion

The plan.

The reality.

2022 Reunion Live-Blog

"Aye, 'twas in Olangapo in1979, that me
and Jim was on the beach, when the chief shows 
up and asks us what the hell we was doin', and Jim--
well, you know what a mouth that boy,xkdhkhgkslhfkdjfl"

Wow, it seems like years since I've posted one of these announcements. That's because it has been years; three of 'em, three long years since we've shared the joy of an NMA reunion.

So, I look forward to next week with excitement and a little sadness, knowing that some of you must stay home. But, as always, (fanfare, cut to the chase--finally!) you can still "be there" in spirit. During the reunion week I'll be live-blogging from the Virginia Beach Holiday Inn. This means you'll be able to keep abreast of the action here.

The reunion officially begins Tuesday morning, June 14, and finishes Saturday night, June 18, but the fun starts early, so I'll begin posting a few days early. Simply drop by any time of night and day for:

• highlights of each day's activities
• low-tech photos
• even lower-tech videos
• jam sessions
• bull sessions
• assorted reports, rumors and revelations, heavily censored in case your children or grandchildren use your computer
