I was just curious who is going? Heath, this is in your back yard... you should definitely be there. Thur & Fri are closed to the public but Sat will be an open event. I'll be working the InsidePOOL booth so if any of you make it out there, please stop by and say hello.

I was looking around last night & discovered a pretty cool thing they'll have going on Sat...go check it out but be sure to stop by & say hello! ;)

Yeah it is a few minutes from me, but unfortunately I cant go. I have an event at my house that day I cannot miss. I really want to go, but cant pull away from the event that saturday. :(
 
I would totally go to that event billiards, and crab cakes. Plus all kinds of promotionals sounds like fun. I dont have any vacation days left.

Ill cook something up with AMTRAK and see how the scheduling goes over.
 
Yes Thursday and Friday are closed to the public, unless they have changed it recently. I will be there all 3 days.
 
Again, another event I was not aware of, UNTIL I clicked on this link on the AZ.

I didn't know about the 14.1 Worlds either until I saw it here.

I really might try to go down there.
