Yee Hah! That was the location of my first NANFAcon in 2004! It's two weeks after our Raleigh Aquar Soc weekend; I will play it up and hopefully get some more RAS folks to come to NANFA.

I have a lot of good memories of this convention back in 2004.
I was just looking on NANFA's .org website, past conventions, and found an account i had written of he adventure.
Great memories.

Here is the shirt we did from 2004.
Sold out a long time ago.
Might be interesting to modify it and do another printing for 2020.

Josh, bring the Arrow Press!
I need to reread that trip report, Casper. Every once in a while I like going back through the list of previous conventions to relive what I wasn't even there for!
Thanks for the memories! Let's go re-live some ...
And make some more!

looking forward to a revisit, as Columbia SC was my first NANFA Convention as well. Add to that I'll be officially fully retired and just returning from a January expedition to Peru. So many folks I met at that first convention I now consider as great friends.

Should I be expecting an email verifying that I've registered? All I've seen so far is paypal's payment confirmation.
