    How very exciting! I am still trying to convince the wife to make this a family mini vacation. The hotel looks beautiful and I hope when we reach a decision that we can still book a room.

    My strong recommendation to you Rick and everyone else is to book your hotel rooms now in anticipation of going and cancel later if need be. We got great rates and only blocked rooms based on the average attendance of the prior shows which I think we're going to blow away. We can get more rooms added to the block if they're available, but the earlier we know we have a space problem the more likely we can do that.

    I'm so excited! I'm getting ready to book my room and register.

    One question though, in the registration info, there is an option to buy a breakfast for $23. Is this some kind of deal on the hotel's breakfast buffet or is there going to be a breakfast event?
    It's all good.

    This will be a NADA show event. We are still working out the minor details, but I think it will consist of an informal round table Question and Answer session with all the show's speakers. Additionally, James Perrenod of Discus "R" Us has graciously agreed to donate a $250.00 gift certificate (good towards the purchase of any of their fish) to be drawn from all those that attend the breakfast (must have purchased a breakfast ticket and be present to win, only one winner).

    That's awesome. I mean I arranged the breakfast and I know the food is going to be good, but the speakers doing a round table AND a door prize. SWEET!!!

    Cool!

    I just registered and reserved my hotel room. I'm so excited for this event. I can't wait to see all my discus friends and talk discus!

    And yes, that no good Willie, my "fish husband" (long story) will be in attendance. We all missed him in Austin in 2014.

    John, get your blue dress ready and start shaving those hairy legs.

    Willie, go find your coconuts and grass skirt.
