DUH - I BLOGGED THIS LAST WEEK BUT DIDN'T MAKE IT PUBLIC SO SOME OF THIS IS "OLD NEWS". Will be home tomorrow morning so will do some good blog eye candy for y'all all week!
Well, well - I've been certainly more busier than I thought I'd be. I'm actually really enjoying all the workshops and networking here at the Marriot hotel in New Orleans for the NAD conference. I even went to an investment workshop. Now I'm recalling all those times that my parents mentioned to me that I should think about stocks or whatever.... I'm seriously wanting to do something to let my money build up so I got the business card of the guy who did the presentation (I took family photos of his in Austin last year). A very nice guy!
Other than workshops and networking - it's been one big ass party. I love seeing so many deaf people wobbling down Bourbon Street. I always "imagine" if it were like that every day. Not the wobbling, but having this many deaf individuals of such caliber in town all the time! I told a few people, "forget NAD, this is Tate's party that everyone's in town for". Ha! NAD has been a good experience and I look forward to the next one in two years - I'm definitely going because DYUSA will happen again for sure then and will expand that stay into the NAD week as well.
Speaking of DYUSA - how wonderful it was! It was a great time for several people from different walks of life to gather up and really make history happen. I told everyone there that there's always the usual cream of the crop, but that every one of them were the real thing!

Mark my words, DYUSA is here to stay.
I'm off at 6am from the New Orleans airport tomorrow to Buffalo. From there, I will drive to Ontario for Wayne and Dana's wedding festivities! That, for sure will be a blast! After that, I'll get to come home for a good "week" - finally!
I hope all of y'alls summer is going well.
DYUSA'ing-ly yours!
