I've been to this event at least four times -- usually a great tarantula selection, so-so scorpion selection, and sometimes they have myriapods as well. (The main focus is vertibrates, but there's enough inverts to make it worth going.)

once upon a time, i bought a beautiful scolopendra gigantea for $50 at that show. its great show. im glad its still goin strong

YOU FOUND AN S. GIGANTEA THERE?!!!?!?!?

FOR FIFTY BUCKS??!??!!!

you can still get them in europe for about 50 bux. i want to try to get some here

The show was awesome -- I've never seen that many scorpions at a con before (last time, this one had one lonely little V. spinigerus on a table full of tarantulas). They even had five or six deathstalkers.
