#NFBFlorida #NFB23

Loved seeing the first #nebraska #husker football game of the season, even though the outcome wasn’t what I wanted, but holy cow the radio delay in Huntington Bank Stadium was horrible! At least 45 seconds behind the actual game. Super glad we passed the resolution at #nfb23 about this and I realize how spoiled I am by places like the #baltimoreOrioles. Now back to practice and on to week 2 #huskers.
@President threw out the first pitch at the Astros game after #NFB23 with many members supporting from the stands. Blindness can be a real curveball for some, but blind people are an essential part of the team. This year's National Convention was another homerun.

@simon Oh okay. When I went to the #NFB23 convention I bought a data esim from Holafly. I paid $34.00 for 7 days of unlimited data.
I just got a "thank you" email for attending the #NFB23 Convention virtually. It thanked participants and hit on key highlights there in and was a very nice touch. #Comms well-done over there @Mastodon at [email protected]
Now let's see #ACBNational #ACB23 follow suit.

So, just attended one of the after-events for #NFB23 and. um, I was…the only one there…

I do honestly notice that NFB has done a rather meager job promoting the events after convention and I can’t even find them anymore on the schedule on the app.

The event was informative, but…a bit awkward…

@robbiec12345 the nights did count on my reservation. #nfb23.
@robbiec12345 give them a call and ask, #nfb23. Your toot reminded me to do this.
