Next year macna will be in Washington dc! Road trip!!!
That’s what it sounds like to me too.
I’ve been waiting for one a bit closer again. I’m pretty sure i will go, whether i have tanks up and running or not at that time. I went to my first one about 14 years ago in Baltimore. Bought my first frags from GARF and Dr. Mac at that one. and the one a few years back at Atlantic city. each one keeps getting better. Next one should be GREAT!
Thanks for the Heads Up.
I’ve never been to MACNA but since I heard it was going to be in DC this coming year, I was totally excited. I’m going to try my best to be there.
The 2015 Macna Site is live now
Just bought my full pass early bird special $90.00 for all 3 days plus reception and banquet.

This a stupid question but at the end of the show they just pack all that live stock up and ship it home? Or do they have a big yard sale?
Years ago when the economy was booming, they were famous for giving away everything after the close, just so they didn’t have to pack or bag everything up and ship it home on a sunday night. recent events seem to have changed with the times. but you can always hang around and ask em.
I’m planning on going, I may even drag the wife along hahaha >:::
Are you guys getting the 3 day pass? If so, why? I mean other then the banquet is there a reason to go all 3 days? are you staying down there?
I got the 3 day pass, different speakers on different days get more chances to win door prizes and to see all the presentations I figured what the hell, how many chances am I going to get to go to one.
I’m staying down there in a hotel with the wife, she’s going sight-seeing while I’m at the expo
Yeah, each day is different. seminars, lectures, demonstrations on the floor. its getting pretty large. can take a while to get the most of all of it. And like Frank says, the daily raffles and dinners or parties. many of the fraggers will hold frags for you to pick up when you leave. they just label them and put them in the bull pen part of the frag tank till sunday. then you just comes along with your cooler on wheels and load it up for the ride home, after the big raffle.
I wonder if you could bring a little DIY frag holding tank to set up in yur hotel room. simple like a small rubbermaid tray or bin, tiny power head, a little cobalt heater and a small light. just leave it on the bathroom counter. with a note to housekeeping to not clean or change the water.
Now that’s an idea ken!
but the note should say don’t spray to clean nearby.
or use do not disturb sign for all the time you are there
The wife got me the 3 day pass for our anniversary YahoO
They’re $80 off while supplies last, get yours now!
Ya the price keeps going up, I got mine for $89.00 on the first day, the next Monday they went up to $99.00 most likely will jump weekly 10 bucks or so.
What does the price include? Has anyone ever been before?
I have been to two of them the past 15 years. but never on a full ticket. just a drive up for the day or two. you can get the list of bennies here, like in Frank’s post.
