Some really cool talks and vendor show coming to Chicago (Schaumburg). I've met and heard a couple of Oliver Knott's talks from past AGA Conventions and it's definitely worth it. I hope to be there for the convention.
I'll definetly be going. A lot of knowledge can be gained when talking to vendors about their products. Not to mention it's not uncommom to get some freebies at the display booths.
That is so true. Getting info straight from the source is great, plus, as you mentioned, freebies are awesome!
Let me know which day you plan on going and I might join you. I was only thinking of doing the $10 admission and going either Saturday or Sunday. Maybe we could do a group meet up and go around together to check it out
A one day admission ($10.00) is what I was planning also. I was leaning more towards Saturday but Sunday would be Ok 2.
Like you said we could do a group meet up like we do before GCCA swap.
This Expo is coming up in little over a month. We should try to schedule times for people to meet up and walk around together for both Saturday and Sunday.
I'll be there on Friday. My initial thought is there @ noon and out prior to Friday evening rush.
Unless of course the raffles are just too good to not wait for.
:hihi:
FOOTNOTE: I still have 1 AquaticLife T5 HO Dual Lamp Light Fixtures 30" dual T5 fixtures, new"er" tubes maybe 45days of run time. $40..... I believe retail is $99 ea.
My 5yo son entered the contest, so I'll get to see the show floor during setup day Thursday. I'll let you know how it looks. I think we'll be there on Saturday morning to walk through everything.
No ofence I don't want to hear a review...like Dean Richards on WGN news killing movies for me. :red_mouth I still enjoy the "little Kid" on Christmas morning feeling when I go to these things. :hihi:
So, I'm out of this thread until after the show. :frown:
So, who's going when? I should be able to make it on Saturday, but Friday is a no go for me. I would love to hook up with some folks from TPT to catch part of the show.
I plan on going Sunday. I'm thinking about getting there before the Show Floor opens at 10:00 in case anyone wants to meet up beforehand. I do have to be out of there by Noon since I have a photoshoot at 1:00 that I need to go to.
I'll probably be there Friday. My 5yo son set up his tank for the kid's contest today and was so excited by the display tanks he wants to go back immediately. No school so we might as well go enjoy fishy stuff together.
If you go, his tank is #22, the first tank on the bottom level. It's the "Tetra Soccer League" tank. He worked on making the decorations for weeks and even picked out the plants at the last swap by himself. I couldn't be prouder!
DogFish, I promised no spoilers so I'm not saying anything about what's there. I do suggest taking some cash since there's a lot for sale.
I was going Friday, then Sun, then Sat. Then I decided, screw work! Going today!! Not sure when, but I will be wearing a white IU ( Indiana Univ ) hat.
I'll be going Sunday, so long as I'm not in too much pain from surgery...but more than likely I will be there- pain meds in hand and ready to check out some fish n shtuff.
I was able to get Sunday off. Ill be heading up to check this out. My son will be with me for this one.
