inTank Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Another year, another MACNA. This will be our 8th MACNA, 7th with a booth. Even though we upgrade every year the stress level is less and less. Systems are key. 15 total hrs driving 1029 Miles TBD Gallons of Fuel (I was so zombified I forgot to look at the truck computer) We are in New Orleans! Set up starts tomorrow, hope to see some of you at the booth! inTank has an awesome new look that is sure to impress. AC motor was buzzing when shutting off. Maintenance was up here super quick. Filter was from January 15, 2016.... over heating moto. Anthony Melchiorri would lose more hair. New pleated filter and a nice long chat with our new friend we should be able to sleep tonight. So far the customer service at the Hilton Riverside is outstanding, text messages to see how things are. Bluetooth wireless keys from your phone. A well needed step up from last year. What a friendly city. Will post pics as time allows. 6 Quote Link to comment
inTank Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 Our boof, thanks MACNA FB video, no carpet this year in the hall unless you shell out the BIG bucks...? Enjoy your feet, of all the years not to ship in a foam floor. 2 Quote Link to comment

I've got some cool stuff planned this year you would have loved. Apparently vertical mode pics don't have as much of an auto adjust here? I'm still trying to figure out this flickr thing 2 Quote Link to comment
blkhwkz Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 No creepy girl paintings staring at you while you sleep is a step up from last year. Other than that ridiculous humidity, can't wait to get there this afternoon. Saw it was 94 with the heat index at midnight, AC in my room will be working overtime. 2 Quote Link to comment
Dominator Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I wish I was there to check it out, love to see what new products you guys have. I have a friend there now (24/7 Aquariums out of Fort Lauderdale, FL). I told them to stop by and chat with you guys. Cant wait to see the setup pics. 1 Quote Link to comment

StevieT Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Longest and hottest setup ever. Too much messing around needed with the new booth look and features but well worth it. The polished concrete floor sucks and is really dirty, for all the years not to ship in a foam floor. Had to wash everything before putting up on the table covers. 9 hrs of sweaty setup.

StevieT Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Friday Done Day Not the most busy MACNA Friday but most are at work. Hopefully a big crowd tomorrow. Reception was pretty cool besides walking down the street in 75% humidity then being shoved into a tin box that was 120° and 3568% humidity. The indoor look like outdoor A/C world was amazing. 20170825_105347 by Steve Taggart, on Flickr 20170825_164630 by Steve Taggart, on Flickr 20170825_105350 by Steve Taggart, on Flickr 20170825_125104 by Steve Taggart, on Flickr 20170825_125112 by Steve Taggart, on Flickr DJ rocking GFY sticker 20170825_171327 by Steve Taggart, on Flickr Reception 20170825_182443 by Steve Taggart, on Flickr 20170825_190027 by Steve Taggart, on Flickr 20170825_191256 by Steve Taggart, on Flickr 20170825_191822 by Steve Taggart, on Flickr GO PACK GO 20170825_191841 by Steve Taggart, on Flickr 20170825_192813 by Steve Taggart, on Flickr HOW MEDIA BASKETS ARE MADE 20170825_192302 by Steve Taggart, on Flickr 20170825_193718 by Steve Taggart, on Flickr 2017-08-25_11-45-28 by Steve Taggart, on Flickr 20170825_204642 by Steve Taggart, on Flickr 20170825_205837 by Steve Taggart, on Flickr 3 Quote Link to comment
