Greatly appreciated. My girl friend and I are so excited. The event of the year right here on the east coast! Short drive away.
Speaking of driving there will be plenty of parking right? Looks like there will be well over 500 people driving according to the poll on the website.
It is AC… there’s PLENTY of parking!! The convention center is sized for MUCH larger shows than ours where tens of thousands of people attend. In the grand scheme of things we’re small potatos!
man the countdown to this is killing me!!! couldnt it be this weekend? lol

I will be driving there and back each day. can’t spend the evenings. got to tend my tanks and and dog and cat. sooooo it looks like a bunch of driving. Got to catch Calfo, Delbeek, MelLev, and Wittenrich on sunday. I want to catch Julian, Steve, Sanjay and Feldman and Marini on Friday. and Ross’s topic of cephalopods, coral grafting by Credabel, Fenners hitch hikers, Yaiullo’s 20,000 gallons over the reef, and of course all the raffles.

Who else is going??? I’m thinking about it but not sure which day…
People keep asking that. I’m going, Michalangelo, Ellen, and Ken.
The raffle alone is worth it.
The speakers alone is worth it.
The venders alone is worth it.
The freebees alone is worth it.
That’s just my opinion that and the zillion other people signed up already. In the industtry for hobbyiest, this is probably the biggest event of the year in the world! People will be flying in from all over the US.
We have attendees (and vendors) from Canada, attendees from Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Italy, and England. If you can only attend one day then it is better than none, but to REALLY experience a MACNA you need to stay. And stay the whole time. It is AMAZING. The people, the friendships, the camaraderie, etc. This isn’t your office confernece. This is MACNA. You have to experience it to really know. And once you do you’ll travel around the country to get to it.
So Jon all 3, Michaelangelo Friday and Ellen Sunday?
ken all 3 days, no evenings. hey, how do we get the ticket? just reserved at the door? bring a paypal receipt?
There will be a massive registration booth at the entrance. You’ll pick up your tickets there at the pre-registration windows! You shouldn’t need more than your name when you arrive. Unless someone else registered for you. Then their name helps as well.

Well. I got my reservation paid up for the 3 days. anybody want to car pool? and keep me awake driving sooo early in the morning? It’s about 75 miles from my place, about 90 minutes of pleasant country driving on mostly NJ route 40, as i recall from all my years of driving to my olde boat kept in Ocean city, NJ., just a couple miles south of AC.
I have to return each evening. My little doggie cant hold it much longer than that. But i think my neighbor will help by taking her out for walks. Have to ask.
Act now, while supplies last! We will continue web orders until Monday 9/21. Due to the overwhelming response we are nearing capacity at the banquet and reception. Be sure to get your full conference pass now to avoid being locked out of the party!
See you next week!
