Loved the one in Chicago. The fairgrounds are a good location. And, Dallas has a nice aquarium downtown.
Going to be a hard sell for saltwater non-locals being so close to ReefAPalooza. RAP Orlando is about 1/4 mile from the Seaworld entrance.

I hope it does well. I will be there at least one of the days. Dallas hasn't exactly been good about supporting events like this with attendance. We used to have a big show once a year and it was stopped several years ago. I was told it was from lack of attendance. Hopefully not having a big show for several years will get people out to this one. Wish it was in north Dallas area but not a big deal. Just a lot longer drive for me.

I think it will do well for one like you said we haven't had anything on a large scale in a while. Its been mostly the coral fest swap for us. Also, this city has seen an insane amount of growth over the past 5 years and we are topping the charts for many things countywide. Overall I hope it does so well that we get more events like this. Plus if you are coming from out of town I would recommend the Dallas World Aquarium its a super cool place and the ending of it has some amazing fish tanks.

No vendor list yet. With Reef Currents in Houston on 5/4 and Texas Coral Fest in Dallas area on 5/5 I am thinking it will be interesting to see what vendors opt for Aquashella Dallas. That's basically 5 weeks of separation for these events. Lots of vendors would typically hit Reef Currents 5/4 and then Texas Coral Fest on 5/5.

That is going to be part of the problem, though I would think they would do this over the others if they are choosing. Looking at the list from the prior show, I'm only seeing a couple that are usually at our swaps. We have had 2 normal frag swaps within a month of each other and they both seemed to do well, at least attendance wise. Attendance vs buying is what I would love to know. I've seen a ton of people at the swaps but they don't seem to actually be buying anything. Personally I'm horrible at the swaps. I'll set a budget of $200 and then spend $600. I just can't turn down the deals that Uchin gives me.
Sure hope Joshporksandwich has a booth at this one, I see he did at the Chicago show. I've wanted to see his stuff for years and haven't been able to go to the Houston swaps he has been at.

They said on facebook a few days ago it would be out very soon. If we could get Cherry, Josh and Reefkoi there it would be like a big reunion.
