Only one month to go before our second TONMO convention! We'll be at the Mote Marine Laboratory in the NEW PASS ROOM (http://mote.org/index.php?submenu=Venue&src=gendocs&link=Venue%20Rental&category=Main) on Sunday June 24th, 2007. The room has been made available to us courtesy of Mote!! Thank you Mote!

Dr. Steve O'Shea will be our featured speaker, with several presentations from other key contributors throughout the day. Click here for the current agenda (http://www.tonmo.com/mote/index.php). If you intend to join us, please reply to this thread!

Yeah? I'm still ticked...bloody job market.

I'm gonna be there. I booked my room and flight and they have a no refunds or changes policy, so I'm pretty much locked in.

I will be there.

I am planning to attend and look forward to meeting all my fellow cephaloholics!

Be there I will be.

Greg, was that a yes? I hope so!

yep yep yep yep yep

I haven't been able to be online-but I will be there!! :smile:

I'll be there with traffic cones!:wink:

Be there I will be.

Greg, was that a yes? I hope so!


If you meant me, it is a "no"...which I am not at all happy about. Work has really sucked this year, and with Shanlyn in school full time again, we need to conserve the greenbacks.
I am most displeased.

me neither :cry:

Erich,
I hope we are not to expect a "High Anxiety" performance :wink:

Neal and I are waiting for our hotel confirmation and permission to take vacation. We are in the 95% category of YES!

Neal and I plan to be driving from Gainesville, GA (north of Atlanta) and will pass through Tampa. If anyone needs a ride to Mote or a nearby hotel, let me know by direct email, Tonmo@dwhatley.com

Also if anyone can use a ride down but not back (we will continue down to the keys for a couple of days and won't be returning until Wednesday), we have room for a passenger or two.

And my final offer :wink:, if anyone is making a 2 day drive and wants to stop over in Gainesville, I have a spare bedroom.

well, I officially paid for plane tickets, so I'll see you in Florida! :grin:

I'll probably be sleep-deprived and frazzled, since it's a bit of a whirlwind tour-- around 24 hours of air travel between Thursday and Monday, since I'll be at a wedding in New York on Friday... Hopefully, there will be sufficient coffee available...

Me and my cephs will be there in spirit =(

Some recent developments on the giant squid tank at Mote:

Wow, that is excellent work!

What a view! I wouldn't want to see that coming at me.

Great work! Dinner's eye view of a squid :goofysca:

VERY nice work...certainly adds a dimension to the exhibit, especially for the kids.

I do wish I could attend, but due to financel concerns (as in my dad having a new baby, having a new house somewhere up in China), I will certainly be not attending this year's TONMOcon. D:

I noticed the other day that the good Dr. Um... logged in in late April, so he's here, just running silent and deep, I guess...

I just got my flight booked! I can't wait!

Excellent!
