Linda's NADA 2014 pictures

[rsawest@yahoo.com]

I just got back from an awesome convention in Austin! The hotel was lovely and their staff exceptional. The Austin folks brought in some superb speakers, great vendors, and of course, excellent fish! It was a pleasure to see old faces and meet some new ones. Thank you Austin.

And now, on to our pictures...

I was greeted by the NADA banner.

This vendor was especially cool, Universal Rocks. Their tank decorations are made of rubber and incredibly realistic.

Hey Linda, good coverage of the convention! Glad to get to see you again and spend some time with you and all the others. I am still here, a few of us went to the famous Salt Lick BBQ restaurant today, the hour wait was well worth it. We ate BBQ and enjoyed it so much. Paul Butler says they don't have BBQ like this in England. He, Josie, Pat and I went in Josie's rental suv. What a time. We all fly out tomorrow.

Thank you very much for posting the great photos. I know this means extra work but how about the names that go with the people?

I promise we weren't copying your Ladies dinner - that was our speaker dinner, with the 8pm speaker we didnt have time to take them anywhere else. :)

I like the look of the rubber wood. I will look the company up. Thanks for sharing

Our local fish club went to their production site, it's molded after real wood/rock/trees/etc, amazing stuff.

Would you happen to have their website info? Also, the rubber sinks?

They put rocks under the piece before they coat it for weight.

Thanks Linda it was nice seeing you. Sorry I was so busy. It seems I never get to talk as much as I would like. Tell Willie that for missing this show he owes me dinner at the next one......
