2005, AASL and CustomNEWS have teamed up again to publish
"The AASL Advocate," the Reno conference's official daily
newspaper.

There will be a total of four issues of the "The AASL
Advocate" published for the 13th National Conference: three
daily issues will be available on-site in Reno, in addition
