Is that bro typo or was I really such a bore when I gave that presentation at TFB last year I’ve took on a new nick name? :stuck_out_tongue:

Sent you a PM.

What macros came?

What kindof frags are you having… any specifics

John what time are you planning to get there? How long would you be delayed if someone let the air out of your tires? :wink: jk

i will be there between 10-11… And if you can go shoot me a pm… Ill hook you up…

I was in earlier, that queen angel is ridiculous! Lots of nice stuff, not sure on the macro’s, but not caulerpa ssp. (that I’ve seen anyway). Red, green, bright green- cool stuff!

I’ll be going, but won’t be there till hours later and have some other places to go before and after. I also won’t be able to drop any money on anything except for supporting the club with a little raffle.

Unfortunately my streak is at an end. I wont be making the event tomorrow. Im sure it will be a blast and i look foward to seeing pics of the event! I want to thank Joe and Bj both for doing such a great job organizing things. I hope to see everyone at the meeting.

Great meeting. Too bad shawn was not there. Great turn out, picked up a few new members, and the place was PACKED… I could barely film because i was holding people up…

Great food… Great raffles…Great livestock… Great turnout… +++++ event

Sounds like a lot of fun. im sorry i missed it. anyone else make it? any pics?

I have pics ill put them up today when i get hoem…

WOW! where to start… it looked like black friday at wal mart when tickle me elmo came out!! we had 4 employees on hand and couldnt stand still for a second for the first 3 hours of the event! i am so glad drc showed up! glenn and joe manned the grill and food for us. i honestly didnt have enough people on staff to do both! i think joe said they grilled up 80 burgers and who knows how many dogs! ellen handled “club relations” and talked to folks about the club. (ran the raffle for awhile too!) i even got her answering the phone once or twice… just to see if she still had it! lmao. ended up doing the sump demo, which was nice. hope everyone learned a little something. unfortunately, by 430 when we were scheduled to do the beginner saltwater demo with jon and jen, we had pretty much died down. but much thanks to them for getting their album together and prepping for the demo.

a million thanks to joe and glenn for completely handling the food for us! (set up and take down/clean up) i think i even saw joe sweeping! lol thanks guys

thanks jon gordon for some id assistance, and talking to a few customers for me.

jon and jen for the same, and the demo (even tho it didnt go. sorry jon)

so, long story short… the turnout was way over what we expected! the raffles were a success! the food was great, and noone left hungry! and i need to order A LOT of fish for this week!! lol i hope everyone had a great time, and the club picked up some new members along the way.

My kids and I enjoyed it! Thanks for the great event DRC and TFB. btw, I have to say the kids gift bags were a NICE touch…My daughter was excited to walk out of the store with her own bag of goodies that looked much better than my plain ol’ white plastic bag filled with bags of water! Silly daddy! lol

We came later in the day so I missed the peak busy time… But nevertheless the staff was kind and helpful for sure - food was good…even the “oregano” topped baked bean platter.

Come to think of it dried oak flavored “oregano” was everywhere!
But seriously - was my first time there and won’t be my last - great job to all

BJ Did you get any further on that white and green frag ID?
Still stuck between some sort of brain or the Monti. D. as Ellen suggested. If you still have it I may come pick it up anyway soon.

Sounds like this was a great event! Sorry I couldn’t make it. Damn life just keeps getting in the way of my hobbies.

Would love to of gone but had to work.

  Sounds like everyone had a good time.

Thanks once again BJ and TFB for having us over. Thanks to Joe, Glen, and John for their working during and before this event as well. I had a good time and it was nice to see everyone. Food was good, weather was nice, people were friendly, and the corals were real nice. Wish I had more $ to spend.

This was a great event. I spoke to three propesctive new members and had a great time hanging out and helping with the raffle. It brought back many fond memories of when I used to work at the Bowl.
I hope we have a chance to do this again next year! YahoO
