RE: [GSAS-Member] West Coast Weekend

Thanks, Erik :)

Speaking of magazines, is there one that is considered the best?  I used to
subscribe to Aquarium Fish Magazine a few years back.  That is the only one
I've ever read.

WCW is relatively new for the Pacific Northwest, but mostly I learn of these
things from folks on these mailing lists and friends in the clubs.

The only other "big show" in the area is GPAS's show down in Portland. 
They haven't had great attendence the last few years, so I'm not sure they
are continuing to hold them.

Most of the big shows are associated with national clubs, like AKA, ACA,
ALA, AGA... so you can hear about them via those clubs, advertising in
magazines, and the usual channels.
