NADA 2016 Show Newsletter

[Second Hand Pat]

NADA has put together a news letter to help promote the 2016 show. The newsletter may help answer questions you might have regarding the show. It has information about getting fish to the show, what you can expect at the show and some representative pictures of fish some of the show sponsors might bring. Please use this link to see the newsletter in your browser http://www.discusnada.org/?wysija-page=1&controller=email&action=view&email_id=28&wysijap=subscriptions&user_id=458.

Folks it is no secret that I am pretty high on NADA but for those of you that may have missed it......YOU HAVE GOT TO COME TO THIS SHOW if you like discus at all. I wish I had the vocabulary to properly describe exactly how much fun this deal is. The best way that I can describe it is as follows...my lovely wife has been married to me for over 29 years. As you can imagine that has been hard on her.....anyway she pretty much dislikes anything involving animals and absolutely HATES fish but she also absolutely loves NADA. When a fish hating spouse loves the show....well that should tell you a lot.

With the show in Chicago there are loads of non-fish activities so bring the entire family and have a blast. You will learns tons of stuff on discus, meet some great people, and have one hell of a great time.

It is the most fun that you can have with your clothes on.......

Hey everyone, this is a MUST event. You will have a blast at NADA. There is nothing like hanging with your fellow discus freaks and seeing beautiful fish. The speakers are top notch, as always.

...or wear a dress...

Poor John. the dress thing was a gazillion years ago at an ACA. Nobody remembers Willie in his grass skirt and coconuts for boobs. John in a dress with his hairy chest and hairy legs was tame compared to Willie's get-up. John would never make it as a transvestite.

[John_Nicholson]

Gee Liz...thanks I think......LOL.

Talk about a back sided compliment lol
Pat

[LizStreithorst]

You have never seen him "dressed". I have. I can't imagine anyone to be hot for Nicholson in a dress. (sorry John). On the other hand, Willie looked funny but attractive in his grass skirt with coconut boobs even though he most certainly didn't have the body for it. You should have been there, Pat. I was. I wonder how may others of us from back years ago were?

[Keith Perkins]

Talk about a back sided compliment lol
Pat

I somehow missed the picture of his back side. Thank God for small miracles.

[John_Nicholson]

Y'all are harsh but to clear the record.......As hairy as my chest is, my back has no hair.......Also I look less hairy now because most of my hair has turned grey....LOL.

-john

[Second Hand Pat]

Alright, that newsletter is a great read :D

I have some inside knowledge. Willie will certainly be there, and maybe the grass skirt and coconut bra will make another appearance...

I hope he does it. It would rock. How many years ago was that? It must have been 12 or 13.

[rsawest@yahoo.com]

ACA in Cincinnati is all I remember. Hans, Cary, and Joe were there. The famous room. Using one net for all fish, including Africans...

[John_Nicholson]

LOL..Well not to worry....my dress wearing days are over I do believe....LOL.

Thank you, Liz. For the record, I was accompanied by three babes wearing bikinis and fishnet stockings. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

John was a solo act. :thumbsdown:

Willie

[LizStreithorst]

I never even noticed the 3 chicks. I only had eyes for you ;). One good thing about Joe, he could put on a killer party.

I got my fish and headed home before the shared net debacle.

Jenny K is still active in our local club. I don't think she keeps discus anymore. She has a lot of family responsibilities.

[John_Nicholson]

Linda tell Jen that I am sending a prayer up for her. Hope we all get a chance to get together one day.
