Hey Greg how about starting a little earlier and doing a store tour, hitting some of the LFS like RC, Gold's, Riverside and any other place's that are in Calgary that everyone knows about. Just a thought.

Sound's good to me. Leave a little more time between shop for travel them the one in Edmonton. Do you know what the good shop's in Calgary are. I have been to Red Coral but not Gold's or Riverside. I was on Riverside's web site and seen that they are moving to Mardian Road but don't know when. And then there are the usual's Big Al's & Picies. Maybe we could talk to the people at the shop's to see if they will offer any discount's

Personally when we drive up we go to Golds, Ocean City, Red Coral, and Big Al's. Usually by that time it eats up a good chunk of our day and our cash. Especially at RC.

Hey guys. Long time no see to a few of you. Busy life lately! All settled in to my cube. It's going to be a long time before I switch tanks again...wow what a lot of work. Anyways maybe I should swing down to see some faces I haven't seen since the spring. I'll post some pics and lemme know if anyone wants something. I am pretty open to fragging just about anything in my tank as most of it HAS been fragged in the past. sorry for poor picture quality, my blackberry is the only picture taker I got atm.

FTS from front. The big brown looking guy is actually a dark teal color but he always looks like an ugly duckling in picture.

I cant wait for this, seems like everytime one of these gets done i have to be out of town. This will be the first time i can attend.

I have a few things on my frags rack...

I have a couple frags of this one that are completely encrusted on to the plug, across the top and down the sides, definately well started.

Since we are doing this across the supper hour should we have a meal? If so I think some sort of "pot-luck" scenario might be ok. I know that last time I hosted one I supplied hamburgers and such but I just don't think I'll have the time to swing that this time. What is the concensus for food? Pot Luck supper or a plethera of misc snacks & finger foods?

Ok so I said I was a maybe earlier in this thread, just making it clear that I will be there.

Its 4:30 on Saturday correct? Its right close to my house too so that makes it real easy. I can only come for about an hour though cause Im going to a show in the evening but me and my room mate will both be there! Looking forward to it.

If we bring anything we would bring pulsing xenia, but our tank is only 3 months old so we dont have much to offer just yet.

No pictures handy of the frags in question but the purple brush parent can be seen in this (ancient) picture:
