I have been to two NACs...one in DC, the other in New Orleans. I 
think it's really lousy that he goes around stealing from college 
packets...but maybe he should do it more often, because the two 
years' worth of questions I was exposed to were terrible.

The trips were fun, only because we got to hang out in two cool 
cities...but the tournaments left a lot to be desired. So much for 
Chippy's "atmosphere".
