i looked on the other board last week, and it appears there is a 2008 convention in vegas still. but no dates were posted as of then. hopefully we can hammer something down as far as a date asap for 2009. i think attendance this year will suffer b/c the date is still up in the air. happynole, my offer to help still stands....i have not been able to attend a convention yet, so i do not know all that is involved...but please feel free to put me use if you need anything.
