    I can't wait for the expo. I know that it is going to be a huge success.
    I'll definitely be there.

    @wsteene and @Vis I also like the idea of t-shirts to the already TASA members.
    Putting our nicknames on is a little overboard but kinda up there with bragging rights.

    @Vis - Don't say it if you don't mean it ;) You've really got me thinking...

    @Willem - Would you be open to the idea of doing a 'Responsible Fishkeeping' display? You with the adoptions, me with the dyed, tattooed and surgically altered fish?

    I think a stall won't be cheap but maybe have a small fund raiser here on the forum to collect money for it?

    I can't access the site (aquariumexpo.co.za) - out of the country at the moment, by I just get a "problem loading page" everytime. Can someone maybe copy and paste the dates, venue etc, here in the forum?

    Take her to a nice hotel (at emperors) and act amazed that there's a aquarium expo there, and a home expo for her too :D

    She knows me better than that... But I might treat her with an early breakfast and then talk her into going for a 'quick' look at the show.

    I'm definitely going to be there...!!!! Maybe we should try and co-ordinate a day when most all of the members can be there so that we can all meet each other...???

    Just a thought.
