GKarshens Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I know this is very early since the last one just ended but tickets are very cheap if bought before Oct. 1 so I thought I would post the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKarshens Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 Let's use this thread to see who all is going to go. Maybe if we get enough people we can get organized about it and make a good showing for the other ARC. I bought my ticket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GKarshens Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 I was thinking maybe we should get some T-shirts made when the time comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GKarshens Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 I was thinking something like "Austin Reef Club...the other ARC" or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headless_donkey Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Got mine! Yee-Haw! I like "the other ARC"-that's funny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headless_donkey Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Have you guys gotten the hotel info yet? I have not received anything except my paypal receipt. Is anyone interested in splitting a hotel room? BTW Have ya'll noticed that a gathering of aquarists also involves a raffle(s)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKarshens Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 My wife and Mother-in-law are coming with me. So I don't think you want to share our room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACNAXX Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 MACNA XX September 5-7, 2008 in Atlanta We are excited about this conference. We already have Pre-registered and paid as many as most of the total attendance of the first 15 or so MACNAs, so it should be huge. Combine that with a great hotel, great speakers, cheap flight, and the Georgia Aquarium and we have everything to try to get you guys to have a good time while in Atlanta. The hotel is great, and the room night of $119 can't be beat, it usually is in the $250-300 range. We were able to negotiate pretty well, but rooms are going fast. There is a lot to do in Atlanta if people come early or bring significant others - CNN, Olympic Park, the Georgia Aquarium, the Children's museum, the world of Coke, and Hooters (hey, I know my audience) is within a 5 minute walk, and MARTA goes from inside the airport to the hotel for $1.75 - so no cab charges. The same MARTA can take you to the Braves, shopping centers, etc. We are also getting together a kids program (popcorn and movies in the hotel) to allow parents to go to the banquet and speakers. We will offer that at cost. Oh, and the banquet is food by Wolfgang Puck. No open bar like Pittsburg, but good food inside a great banquet hall inside the largest aquarium in the world with two windows - one toward the largest indoor aquatic exhibit in the world (over 6 million gallons - the size of a football field) that includes four whale sharks and the other one toward the four beluga whales. Please use this thread to ask questions and I will try to check in to answer them. You can also check out our website. If your administrator could make this a sticky that would help alot. So who is going? Steve__________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headless_donkey Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Has anyone booked their flight yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKarshens Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 No I checked and found $400 was the best price I could find. If it doesn't go down drastically we will probably drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headless_donkey Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 400 was what I found as well. American was the cheapest even though ATL is a Delta hub. I have driven to Atlanta straight before. It took almost 17 hours. I don't think I am up for it again. I was surprised by the price. It only cost me $250 to fly to California.

GKarshens Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 I found $394 on Continental. The prices may go down as we get closer. I think it is too far out for any specials. I have 3 people going though so that is $1200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GKarshens Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 Nope. Prices have gone up. $450 is the cheapest I am finding. I think we will probably end up driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
