Day one MACNA
it was an early start - too early after the late night lol
We hit the talks, Tony Vargas on his latest tank build, Kevin Kohen on NPS tanks; we are all inspired now to set up a smallish NPS tank. Next up was Singaporean Tea Yi Kai speaking on rare wrasses. Then Jamie Craggs, an Englishman who is studying how to get stony corals to spawn, fascinating stuff. We watched a bit of a debate between Julian Sprung & Jake Adams re refugiums.
We then hit the exhibit hall,checked out some gear, new and old. Talked to some very interesting people and made some interesting contacts
We headed back to our room for a late lunch and then Pete went back on his own for a few more presentations, I went for a walk, checked out a few shops & got some fruit from a local market.
Pete got back in time to shower & change and we headed to the welcome reception. It was spread over 4 or 5 floors. Lots of bars, wait staff with nib lies, a few carvers at roast beef stations & what they called baked potato stations; in reality 2 sorts of mashed potato with toppings lol
When we arrived we were each given $2000 play money and each floor had casino tables, craps, poker, roulette and blackjack. I left Pete chatting and hit the tables which was fun.
They kicked us out about midnight so we went back to the bar at the hotel and kept it all going til about 2 am when we crashed.
