Hi Bill:
     In answer to your question, NO I did not take
notes. (at least not that I can remember!!) ;) In fact
I had NO writing implement of any kind.  Like most
other conventioneers, I took the opportunity to visit
the various "courtesy suites" at the Hilton.  One in
particular had the most beer on ice to ever fill-up a
bath tub!!   
     I was with the WBIM-FM crew (Bridgewater State
College) as a newly elected General Manager.  I had
the opportunity to meet Howard Stern while he was a
jock at WWDC-FM ("DC/101") during this convention.  He
was one of the speakers.  Needless to say, virtually
every sentence was laced with the "F" word.  He has
not changed even since the days he was at WCCC-FM in
Hartford (the late 1970's).   Oh, well.
     Nonetheless, it was a great time to meet the
other stations, jocks, the labels and some of the
pro's who visited the convention.  What a time ;)!!!!

-Pete


BTW: I went to the IBS Conventions in DC in 1981,
1982, 1983 and 1984.  By that time, I was all partied
OUT.............. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
