OK, what now? From: ADA
[mailto:ada@adana.co.jp] Dear
Larry and Karen, I
believe you are very busy working for the next week's Atlanta convention. Do
you know how many people will attend this year's convention? Mr.
Amano's workshop I
understand there is no local planted aquarium club in Atlanta, and AGA board of
directors are organizing the whole event. Last
time Mr. Amano visited AGA convention in Arlington, Virginia, we have
arranged to transport all the necessary goods from Japan to the convention
hotel. In
2002, when Mr. Amano visited Chattanooga, TN for the AGA convention, we did
not transport the equipment from Japan. In 2002, Mr. Amano was asked
to find stones at nearby forest, and select driftwood from limited number
of stocks. The plant
availability was limited, and it was a bit stressful experience for us to
use other manufacturer's substrate, aquarium tanks, and lighting equipment for
Mr. Amano's workshop. In
2004, Mr. Jeff Senske of Aquarium Design Group kindly offered us to buy all
these transported goods and he has shipped all these goods to Houston from
Arlington. For
this year's convention, we arranged the shipment to ADG's warehouse together
with their order in advance, so that we can save a lot of costs for shipment
from Japan to the U.S. But nobody can tare care of the layout Mr. Amano will
create in Atlanta, and we understand we have to disassemble the layout after
the workshop. We
would like to find a sponsor or buyer for these workshop equipment during the
AGA convention, so that we do not have to ship them back to Houston or Japan.
Or if possible, we would like to bring these items separately on Sunday
auction. We
do not have to make a profit out of this, but we would like to cover at least
the minimum costs, and transport fees. I
really appreciate if you are kindly attentive for this matter. Best
regards, Nozomi
