This is one of those months that I have looked forward to.
My goal is to make all four of these events...I never lost my voice from auctioning on Sunday, so I am ready to go at PVAS!

A splendid time is guaranteed for all

The most well-run auctions around in my experience, and to make it even sweeter, certifiably un-Afrocentric. Definite annual highlight and my second favorite aquanut event of the year after the Catfish Convention.
 
I guess I'll see some of you guys there tomorrow. I might be doing some data entry if my hand allows it. Come by and say hi!
