[scapes]

i found out your answer yesterday. i've been out of town, just got home. so sorry i couldn't post sooner but, they said you could do 5pm or later. Will will be working and he's gonna be the one telling everyone to go, he needs time to get over there. if you have to come earlier, let us know and we can work it out.

I had planned to attend but found out that my sons soccer party is that day. I hope pre-sale threads start so I can help support the swap and vendors. I'm sure that I can get someone pick up a few things for me.

Any idea on count? It was definitely the biggest in Montgomery so far. Lots of corals represented. I got some really nice frags today and came home with some money in my pocket. Hope the Memphis crew makes it back with no further issues.

We enjoyed seeing everyone again. Thanx to Will and Julie for the work you put into it. The results speak for itself.

We picked up some nice frags and a clam thanx to Gary and Dave.

See y'all in Nashville in January!

No idea on head count. We were packed the whole time though :bigsmile::bigsmile: We sold around 800 tickets, i can count the tickets, just haven't done it yet.

Ramses-ya'll racked up!! hope you enjoy all your stuff!! I got a lot of the DT's, but i need them to feed my 11" gigas clam :smile:

Harry-was a pleasure as always, to see you both. i really wanted to come Friday nite but i was out of town. Your wife is such a joy and i will be thinking about you two

It was great to see everyone again! I know that I have been out of touch for a while. Wife really, really, enjoyed herself and wants also to start coming to meetings(told me she missed each one of you). Seeing everyone brought back some great memories and would like to start coming to the meetings again(if work permits). Got some really great frags and a few prizes that I really needed! I was excited to see what Linda had purchased(yea, gave her my billfold and turned her loose). Got the frags home, acclimated, and in the tank. I could not believe my eyes, they started to open and were looking awesome. Harry , the frag pack is absolutly fantastic, Pagoda cup is reaching for the sky, not to mention the rest look fantastic. Tammy and Jason, yours look great and super awesome, colors are booming! Gary, all I can say is ...OMG... Blue Tip Indo, have mercy! Dave, wonderful just wonderful! Linda said we needed to pick a show piece for the huge center rock we have, but there's just no way I can choose from all the beautiful pieces that I have now. I guess the best part is they seem to be happy where they were placed and are shining like a noon day sun. YES, I am just toooooo excited about what I have. Just wanted to say thanks to each and everyone for a Fantastic, Great time, and I hope to see each and everyone again real soon!

Hope the Memphis crew makes it back with no further issues.

They did - I've heard from two of the three already today.

 

[Eddie Baby]

I'm really glad to hear that everyone had such a good time. I was really pleased with the mix of old, new, and familiar but missed faces. We'll get on the ball and get the timing for next year figured out ASAP. I just know it won't be as late as November, because the cold was almost too much of an issue, especially for those traveling a long distance to get here. Heaters just don't warm up the water all that fast, even in smallish frag tanks.
