Parking @ the Hilton:
- The Hilton has a large parking garage that is $5 or Valet parking for $10. I would suggest carpooling as much as possible so that the cost is minimal
- There is limited parking at the pyramid behind the Hilton if you don't mind a very short walk

Please sign up soon so we know how many to expect, there is only room for 125. See you there!

You might already know I'll be there... I'm a WWM crew member. I also came with Bob when he came to Houston (and I'm pretty sure he's doing the same presentation). It's a great lecture, really. I've seen it twice and it is definitely one of the better reef keeping lectures I've heard. :)

I'm about 95% sure I will be able to make it. Put me on the list.

Also... We didn't record Randy's (Reef Nutrition) Presentation but it would have been nice. Can someone with some video skills make a digital recording of this presentation. That would be a great thing to do for those who can't be there.

Can someone that has contact info for Mr Fenner contact him and find out if this is possible. It needs to be approved by him before we can just go and record.

If it is we can see if anyone has a digital video camera. I have a DVD camcorder but it will only get 30 minutes before needing disc changed so we'd probably miss some stuff.

Come on Maastard's tell all your friends, neighbors, & relatives. Members & Non-Members, it doesn't matter who, just tell someone. We need to show the amount of commitment that we have in this Club. If the room is mostly empty it will only make our Awesome Club Look BAD :eek:. We Can't Have That! It would be a good idea to tell anyone you see at any LFS. Come on and Tell a Stranger. They'll probably thank you for it. :wink_smile:

I would like to offer a special invite to all the students in the Marine Science classes. We would like for you to have an opportunity to attend, so we are offering you the chance to be our special guest members and attend for the price of a Charter Member. You will need to bring a paper with your teachers name and signature for the discounted price of admission at the door. This will give you the opportunity to see a very renowned speaker.

As far as showing up early I got my Sundays mixed up and showed up a week early. "Stupid"! But I do have a question: if we park in the garage will the hotel stamp our ticket?
