As mentioned above, I will be going. I can also offer limited free room and board for the weekend. My parents live up there. The downside is that we will be 40 minutes or more from the location of the event. Carpooling will obviously be ideal as will bringing something to sleep on while you are there. Parents said it was ok if I had friends over for a sleep over, but 'comfortable' sleeping arrangements are limited. I have first dibs.

I wouldn't mind sending some fish if anyone will take them for me. I could bring them to the meeting next Saturday. Denny

Ok, here are the plans, since they are my personal plans they are open to modification for the greater good.
Leave: Friday evening, preferably a carpool leaving from Neosho, Mo as the last stop as they pick me up. I get off work about 4pm. I would love to hit the road at 6pm.
Staying: At my parents place, they will actually be out of town. That does allow us to have nice breakfast and dinner at the house each day. We would need to bring our own food though.
Money: Gas money? We should split the cost of gas between whoever goes. Lodging....hmmm, I guess if you guys buy the food there won't be a housing charge
Come Home: Sunday Evening, I know I have to be at work early Monday morning.
Lets here some input.

Think I'm gonna have to pass on going for the whole weekend. Too many irons in the fire and like I "need" anything else.
Talked to moparitus tonight and might make it to the auction.
Would like some more blue rams to go with the KC rams.

Yea!
Looks like I get to go! Mark insisted that even if I can't make arrangements for the girls to be out of his hair that I should go.
So, what type of arrangements need to be made?

Ok, here are the plans then:
Leave from Down Town Pierce City at 8pm on Friday night. Michael will be coming up from Arkansas so if you someone is reading this that wants to come, make sure you contact him for a ride.
Breakfast and Dinner will be at my parent's house so bring food to prepare. If we want to, we can divide up the meals and each person can bring something.
What other details do we need...oh, wait, who's vehicle are we taking?

Ok, sorry guys, but I have to back out of the trip. Apparently, when my oncologist says "Nothing but rest for the next two or three weeks" he doesn't mean I should do a bunch of yard work, gardening, etc... I'm having a lot of trouble with my left arm and hand and my energy level has taken a direct hit.
Cancer sucks, even when you are lucky enough to call yourself a survivor.

We went, we saw, we bought fish, and missed all of our friends.
I came home with:
29 gallon Aquarium - $11
Rio Negro Dwarf Pike Cichlid (2M/1F) - $14
6 Vietnamese White Clouds - $11
Adult Pair "Red Hump" Eartheater - $12
I didn't bid on the other pairs of Geo. Jurpari that were sold, I remember them going for under $15 a pair though.
There were gymnogeophagus in the show and a Geophagus altifrons won best of show. Don't worry, I had my camera with me
The auction was excellent, but it didn't compare to getting to chat with Mike Lucas and Ad Konings after they gave their talks.
Expect to see a slide show in the near future: "What Michael and Kevin did on their Spring Trip."
