Re: [AGA-mcm] browsing and rowsing

I think he has too much stuff crowded into the Field Trip
-- not enough shmooze time. ;-)

It's true, the SF area would be a great area for a
convention *if* we could get the folks east of the
Mississippi to go there. But who could they put on the
program that has that much draw?

Another thought: SF hotel rates? If he wants reasonable
hotel rates he better forget SF and start thinking San
Pablo or Oakland across the bay. Another town in which I've
lived, btw.

The Northeast Council of Aquarium Societies will feature Christel, author of 
_Aquarium Plants_, among its speakers at its 30th Annual Convention. It's the 
longest running consecutive general tropical fish convention in the country and 
one of the most fun to attend.
