I've always wanted to go to New Orleans, and I know my mom wanted to go visit again, so this will make a perfect trip. Going to have to make plans to make it down there!

Congrats to BRK. A well deserved reward for a lot of work, and, a feather in their cap after a long struggle against a lot of local naysayers.

I thought that they didn't announce next years MACNA until this years. I thought that they announced next years location at MACNA. Am I wrong on that?

 

[reefwiser]

They generally announce a week early.
