Not me
Too many medical bills
Ah, now there's a downer. Less fun for the rest of us and Davis certainly won't be there.
I will be there because I know all the things Pat posted are understatements. I have been going longer than Pat and this is the best event for the money in the whole country, bar none. Sure it isn't the ACA but it is more cost effective. At six hours it is close and with a little carpooling the trip can be fun. At $65 a night you don't even need a roommate unless . . . . well let's keep it clean and not get into that.
The fish show pays cash awards for first, second, and third. I seem to remember that best of show gets like a hundred bucks? Is that right Pat or didn't you ever win it? You should have. Fish sales from your room are a major part of this event and I have more than paid for my trip in some of my past participations with fish sales. I plan to do so this year with Altifrons (if you want one they are $10 each, just like at OCA) and Vics. If you aren't going you need an irate wife/husband (I had to add husband later. I'm trying to get less sexist. Difficult at my age) or a death in the family to justify it. If it's money stopping you just come to my room for a beer. If I'm not there just come to Eric's and Regina's and I'll give you one of their's.
Join us!! It is a blast.
You will never have more fun with all your clothes on again.
If you can't figure out my mood this evening, I sure hope she can.
