Looking forward to it - I really hope there is a collecting trip this year - would love to get out with the kids.

Jools

[Shane]

That is guaranteed... at a minimum we can collect cyprinids and sunfish in the creek in my backyard.

I can't wait to see everyone at the convention. I believe this will be the largest PlanetCatfish turnout since the first convention in 2004.

This will be my first Catfish Convention - can't wait!

[Birger]

I did not go on the collecting trip at the first convention I went to...did not miss one since, should be great fun again, looking forward also to meeting Melanie Stiassny.

If all goes well I will have just got back from Sierra Leone the month before the convention.

Can anybody tell me if room selling is done at the Convention and if so does one have to book a special set of rooms where room selling is allowed? I went to the PVAS site to see what I could learn, but they require one join to read and there is no reason for me to join.

[Barbie]

Yes, you are allowed to sell out of your rooms. You want to register for the convention on the sellers floor with the hotel. I think I registered with pvas years ago, if you need more info than that, I can go cut and paste?

As Barbie said, "yes". It's on the 3rd floor. roomsales@catfishcon.com for details.

The rooms for room sales will be on the 3rd floor. Everyone on that floor will be with the convention and most if not all will be selling from their rooms. For room sales, you book your room through the hotel normally. You then contact the room sales coordinator to get put on the 3rd floor.

On Friday night after the last speaker pretty much everyone in the Convention will be shopping at the in-room sales.

Here are the room sale details on the website:

I think the email aliases may not be set-up yet. If anyone wants to sell from their room, send me a PM and I will put you in contact with the Room Sales Coordinator.
