Re: Anyone go to MACNA?
I wish that I would have, have heard mixed reviews though. I will be attending next year in atlantic city. A couple of the local guys went, they werent impressed with the downtown setting due to cost issues. Also the friday night Japanese showcase was hard to understand I guess. Not sure if that was due to accents or foreign language? What was your impression.

Re: Anyone go to MACNA?
there were alot of disapointments, The event had alot of issues with what appeared to be poor planning. and outragous prices for everything after paying $160 to get in. But it was fun to meet everyone and play with all the equipment

Re: Anyone go to MACNA?
There was a lot of vagrancy and hookers according to the locals, hotel they were staying at wouldnt let them walk the Two blocks to the event. Small town guys basically, little scared of their surrounding.
