whoa there Marc, you don't want to speak for all the livestock vendors. IN the past most have done that, but that is not to say they all will do it this time. Your best bet is to email the vendors first and ask, they are all listed on the MACNA site.
If they do not, they are the oddity. I honestly think they would lose a lot of business if they decide against holding.

What I meant to say was GreshamH will hold all your corals for you. :)

At all the MACNAs I've attended, the vendors either held your corals for you or they didn't sell until Sunday. They want to show off the eye candy for as long as possible.
 
Melev,

Just wanted to let you know that the time you spent writing that was not wasted.

You have convinced me to attend :) It will be my first and I'll be driving out from NJ.

Look forward to meeting you and others there as well as picking up as much equipment as I can for a new system :)

we should get nametags or shirts with our rc names on them. last year i didnt meet anyone because i wasnt sure who anyone was haha


They sent me an e-mail asking me the info I wanted to put on my name tag such as, Name, club affiliations and/or internet nickname. I should have my RC username on my name tag. Don't know if anybody else filled that out or not, but I did. I'll probably wear my Reef Central shirt on Friday so I can meet everybody at the start.

The Radisson is about 10 miles to the east in a suburb called Monroeville. We tried to locate the show downtown, but could not find a large enough venue.

OK, Thanks! I should have known when someone said the parking is free it wouldn't be located anywhere near the highrise downtown area.

If your saying I'll hold them, you mise well just hand me the money and never buy any frags as my coolers filled with ice sure won't keep them alive for all that long :lol: Please, no small bills, 10's and 20's only :D

Albright, I'll be looking for you. I have three shirts I'll probably wear. One has Melev's Reef on the back. A black golf shirt has the name of my podcast on the front, and I'll have my Reef Central golf shirt on at some point. One way or another, hopefully we will all find one another.

I don't know what will be on my badge, but I may slip my colorful business card in the badge holder as that worked well last year.
 
It'll be nice to meet many of you. I love putting faces to the usernames I've come to know online. Occasionally my mental picture is way off from reality. :lol:
 
Bump for the morning crowd. Just think some of you will be here in two weeks!!! not much time left!!!!!
