Sure sounds like a fun show Al.
Wish I could attend.
Try to find out if the show will be offered at a later date on video.
Hope you and the other site members here who are attending have fun there.

I'm looking forward to giving a couple of talks at this first ever event from AAZK. I'm sure that if it goes well, there will be others shortly down the road. It's been something I've been looking forward to seeing offered for quite some time. Now I just need to figure out what I'll be talking about.....

Rob: I'm sure you'll find something...
If you smile as wide reading that as I did typing it, all is well.

I wish I could attend.
Just getting to meet all of the people listed as instructors would make the trip worthwhile.
It would be great to get to pick people's brains on ways to improve various things.
Once you are done learning in this "hobby" you become dangerous - especially to yourself.
Just my personal opinion.
