Thank you for posting this schedule!! I tried just now to go on AOBA’s website for the check-in times and it is still down. So, I googled AOBA schedule and your site came up. We are coming from Louisville. Will we see you there? If so, let’s touch base. I’d like to meet you.
I think you are friends with my boyfriend, Pippullen on Twitter. He says you are pretty active there!
