Not to be ungrateful, but I was wondering whether they are sending any samples for goodie bags? Is ZooMed sending bags? Are they sending any human representatives for a vendor table besides Dr. Batten? I was sort of thinking that if goodie bags were going to be lame, then it would be better to just have a Free Stuff Table in the vendor room. They always give away their stuff before I can rescue it anyway, so why not save myself the stress? We can use ZooMed bags for the auction. When I spoke with Ricky about him being hired, he remembered that someone charged for samples at the Seachem table in 2004. I was under the impression that this was Seachem's rule; something about shipping. But now it seems they are saying the Phil effected that. I dunno. I told Ricky that I was unaware of any friction in that area, and that we would pass the samples out however Seachem wanted it done. He's getting back to me, eventually; starts training on Monday.
