Who's going to MACNA this year?

[Caryliss]

Bumping this back up to the top.

There's more info on what these conferences are like in Melev's thread here http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1191156 and photos from past MACNAs on his site http://www.melevsreef.com/macna/macnaxviii.html . If you've never been I highly recommend it. There is something for everyone, newbies to pros.

If anyone else on the east side (Mentor to Mayfield, or willing to meet in that area) wants to carpool for Friday let me know. I have room for one to two more people.

These are a lot of fun and a wealth of information. I also highly recommend attending if you have never been, it is rare they are so close to us. I will be there with a bunch from the Columbus gang.

Kreeger, sorry for the delayed response. Been busy moving my parents over the last week.

Eric, we are not getting a booth this year. We want to enjoy the speakers this year, since this is our first MACNA. Our tentative plans are to to be at MACNA and IMAC next year. This will be the only times we will make our product available to to the public.

Hope to see you guys all there. Happy reefing....

I'm sorry, I must be the only one, but what is the address for this event? I cannot seem to find anymore info about where it is held than simply in Pittsburgh.

Anyone else taking a video camera? I wonder if it will upset the speakers if we do so?

They might not permit that.

Is Saturday a good day to just come down and check out the vendors??????

 

[Thinslis]

Anyone carpooling from the east side or willing to meet up somewhere? Turns out my training class was canceled so I will be able to go for Saturday.

Friday or Saturday would be best for that.

I could also go for the day on Friday if someone wants to carpool from the Eastside on Friday for the day... =)

 

[Caryliss]

I'm going on Friday. I've got a carpool set up with one person so far. If you want to meet me either in Mentor or in Mayfield PM me.

 

[Bowman]

Friday would be a great day to come especially for the second speaker of the day. Speaker has a great presentation heard him a couple of times before. Gonna be a great time. can't wait.

Is MACNA always in Pittsburgh? or are we just unlucky enough to have to go to that town this year? (grumbles something about the Browns getting trounced by the Steelers today)

MACNA moves from city to city. I think it goes to places that have clubs that are willing to sponser it. I can't imagine the logistics in planning and putting on a MACNA. Maybe some day C-SEA will sponser one in Cleveland. However, we would need a fully dedicated group to support this type of activity. If it wasn't handled and planned out it would bankrupt a club in a heartbeat.

As far as the Browns go, you are better off betting against them... I have seen my dad spend countless hours on the couch routing for the Browns only to be disappointed in the end.
