This is a little off topic, but I am going to Tucson next week for the conference of the American Tarantula Society at the Hilton El Conquistador in Oro Valley, AZ. Yes, you read right...
Our event is open to the public on Saturday, so if you are in the area and interested in desert critters, some cool exhibits etc., please do stop by and visit!
I am not taking the SMB on this trip since we'll be staying at the hotel, but would be happy to meet fellow SMB'lers and desert lovers from that neck of the woods.
Let me know if you are interested and need more details.
