My Pantera ran great last May and other then collecting dust I don't know what
else I need to do...is there a Tech List I should follow.
I need a couple beers...you girls are killing me.

NORC starts in TWO WEEKS. If you ain't ready now you ain't gonna be ready.
In your case Pope, you're probably in good shape, but you'd still need to
send in an entry and find a hotel.
At our staff meeting this morning, I found out our Users' Conference may be
(as in not likely but possible), moved to October in 2012. If so, this
means I might actually have a shot at the Silver State next year. I'll know
more by the end of this year. Either way, I should at the very least try to
plan for NORC in 2012.
I was hoping to maybe, just maybe pull off a fancy trick to get to NORC this
year, but then I woke up. :)
