Aye Antonio! Politics ain't your Mol. Stick to the coffee shops and chism. If they want hobby booths They can talk to Greg. He's not that hard to get a hold of.
And If there are no hobby booths, that's good because that means there's gonna be a lot of vendors. Which means more cool stuff to see.
In Los Angeles we are the most spoiled,
Rotten, awful people to sell to from a wholesale stand point and from a retail stand point. The bar is set real high and the profit margin in the middle somewhere. I saw this first hand over the summer. The coral biz is tough right now, super tough! Anyone who makes their bones, deserves it.
I just hope they have a lounge man! Honestly! If you had a sectioned off place in the corner, with 7 small tables and booze.
People can talk and have fun. That's what RAP lacks. Ya not everyone wants to talk and hang. Not the people in the hobby, they want to talk and sip and talk and bull $hit.
That is my only gripe. The amount of cool stuff to see you have no where to take a load off and chat and have a brew or two. You may owe a reef bro that may have helped you earlier that year with something on your tank and you just want to catch up.
Or you just see someone you haven't seen in years...let's go to the Lil cart and stand around like douches, blah, the lounge is where it's at. The best time I had at RAP was 2 years ago when a Wholeseller was in the corner next to SCRK and had some chairs and a table to look and admire the fish they had on display. To the date best Lil collection I've seen at a show.
Wicked's Lounge in Blue Neon!
Put me in the corner. I guarantee everyone wins.

They still have the club booths-
Looks like some vendors booked 4-6 booths though which kills the hobbyist booths
For example- I love sunlight supply, but they don't even sell anything to the public and they have 6 booths? I guess I'm biased though because I love coral more than equipment.
