MACNA 2018!! Whos going?!

shiftline · 06/04/2018, 09:28 AM

As many of you know MACNA 2018 is going to be held in Las Vegas this year (Heck yes! cheap to get to!) which will be pretty sweet. This year is the 30th Aniversary which means it will be BIG! I'm super stoked for it.

Who is all going?

Moondoggy & I have to set up a meet.
I'm 6'4" grey hair & will have a fish on my shirt, 1 of a kind.
OR a LIRA shirt - red or white with the logo over the pic of LI.
The wife comes along to keep me in line.

Valentini89 · 06/04/2018, 05:36 PM

I wish I could go. My wife would go to but with 4 young kids and a full time family business, it's a no.

NO3 · 06/04/2018, 08:34 PM

I got mine into the hobby. She bought her first tank a few months ago. Even got suckered into buying blackstorm clownfish

Knowing her she'd be in jail with me too

Yeah that would be fun, I will be wearing a Tommy Chili black T-shirt. My wife to make sure I do not go crazy buying too mush stuff. She does not understand that it was on sale LOL Oh yeah if you have an old Aqua Bee 2000/1 pump bring it.

shiftline · 06/06/2018, 02:43 PM

Ill likely be wearing a ReefDudes T-Shirt! Come say hi if you see me

reefwiser · 06/09/2018, 10:19 AM

I am going been going since MACNA 3. My wife stopped going years ago. She lets me go by myself so I get all my aquarium talking out of me. Its a reward for being good all year.
She doesn't care for Vegas anyway.

shiftline · 06/11/2018, 08:21 AM

Just because I love you all and incase you haven’t gotten tickets yet

I'm in. First time for me. Have my flights and my room. Missed out on the 15.00 off the full weekend pass for fathers day. Just got busy. No wife and the girlfriend is not coming. She said, I suppose I'm not going? I said, you can, but understand this is my weekend and when you get bored, you can go hang by the pool or whatever. She said, go, have fun.

shiftline · 06/22/2018, 02:55 PM

hehe awesome! I just booked my flight/hotel

Joe0813 · 06/22/2018, 06:24 PM

Can't wait

slief · 06/22/2018, 11:17 PM

I’ll be there!

Sgchick · 06/23/2018, 05:48 AM

I'm going...first big show so I wanted to pick a good one...so excited! Sharing a room at the event center with Kelly (Seahorse Whisperer on you tube. ) I've been to Vegas a few times and it's a blast! Anyone who hasn't been should check out old las Vegas..(Fremont St) They've updated it and it's got a lot going on, Live music and a ton of people watching. You can even zipline over the top...

moondoggy4 · 06/23/2018, 04:42 PM

There is a lot to do in Vegas even if you do not gamble. I have not been there for a while so I am looking forward to it. Easy drive for So Cal.

64Ivy · 06/25/2018, 04:37 AM

I'll be there; gathering info for a large custom build I'm planning for the future. Coming all the way from CT.

docwells · 07/28/2018, 08:06 PM

I'm coming from NC with the wife. We love Vegas.

Did have question though. We are most likely going to buy coral. How are people getting livestock home from the show? Are people bringing containers with them or buying containers while there to ship back home or take on the plane with them?
