I guess I should add: Some of the city's best dining is on Mt. Washington (with a beautiful view of the city). Some of you that are extending your stay or coming in early will certainly want to check them out. Steaks, seafood, etc.

Nah. I think most of us are looking forward to the event. It should be a lot of fun. I know Steven and Adam have done a lot of work, so maybe I should not speak for them. There is a lot to do, but everything appears to be right on track.

Hey Bean, thanks for the info. The wife and I will have to check that out. I didn't know there was anything up there. Guess it's hard to visualize because all the pictures you see are always looking out at the city.

For those that are experienced with this event, do you know if there will be plenty of tickets available at the door? I'm really just interested in attending the trade show and going to the raffle. I definitely do not want to miss this one as it is so close to me.

To be honest, you are cheating yourself by not attending any of the talks. The vendors area is full of very cool stuff to see and buy, but the education you get is worth so much more. If you can manage to fit it in your budget, I would try to get a day pass. (Assuming they sell single day entry passes)
Sunday afternoon is when the raffle occurs. Steven posted the speaker schedule so you can see what topic interests you most. Maybe you'll want to come for two days instead of just one.

If nothing else, hanging out with fellow RC'ers is worth the trip alone.
See you all there.

Thread hijack.
If we buy corals on Friday will there be some sort of facility or shipping service on site to sustain them? Or do the vendors generally hold all livestock until sunday afternoon in holding tanks? |

They hold your corals until Sunday.
Get a shirt made with your username on the back, and that way we can find one another.
