Thought it'll be at the wing place this time.

[fencer]

yep

[Wayne]

I will certainly try and keep that date open. I love wings!!!

[fishoholic]

Hey Wayne I haven't been to a meet in awhile and I would like to go to this one but it's the same day as my Aunts B-day dinner, is there anyway we could change the meet time to 12:30 instead of 1:30? So I'll have enough time to eat and visit and get to my Aunts?

[noirsphynx]

Yum! Chris and I will be there :mrgreen:

[fencer]

1230 okay

[fishoholic]

1230 okay

Steve

[ALang]

Oooo, wow. Never though I'd read such goofiness on a reef site! Should have joined much, much sooner. :mrgreen:
You guys are crazy, no wonder we don't have new blood joining our "meetings", they'd take a look at above postings, turn tail and run!
BTW, me thinks Mermaid Man definitely has a few marbles loose and rattling around...And Sharkbait? well, he deserves the butt-wriggle-entrapment that Sexy Shrimp has *unknowingly* set, :wink: and we all haven't seen it coming. Hmmm, best shut up while ahead.:twised:

[RedCoralEdmonton]

i think Doug just heard about wings and had to come....dont worry buddy ill bring the wet naps.... after all i have a baby now lol

Steve

[ALang]

As to "what happens at these meetings"? Well, we have a lot of fun, we net-work with each other, learning about all sorts of things, some of them you may not ever what to know about.
Don't be intimidated, we are pretty mild-mannered, well, at least some of us.
We like to eat a lot, hence we always fight over which restaurant to go to.
We might exchange ideas, lives stocks, frags, equipment, and favours. You get lots of unsolicited help from everyone:lol:. Best of all, we get to put faces to all these fancy handles everyone likes to call themselves.
Do come. We would all like to meet you. More the merrier, as they say.
Hope to see you there.
Lenny.

[RedCoralEdmonton]

no problems with the frags, but you guys gotta pm me, ill never remember everyone without a list to refer to before i head out..... i have quite a few already....

Steve

[ALang]

Corrosionjerry,
Don't worry so much, we, most of us , started the same way.
Best place to be if you're new, to meet people you can pick their brains and discuss things that have confound/embarrassed you in the hobby, Some of us may even have the answer, at least we can try to help out, if we don't.
Very informal setting and we don't put on airs, except for the gassy kind.
We talk about everything under the sun. Except if you're not a Reefer, the conversation maybe totally gibberish. Much like my sons when they speak "gaming", esp. WOW.
Would love to meet you.
Lenny.

[fencer]

boink boink

[Flash]

So was that a "no" to bringing me wings? Lmao jk!!! Have fun everyone, come say hi if you have time!!

[cale262]

If I can sneak away (from work) this Saturday, I'd like to swing by, say "Hello" and enjoy a beverage or two...

[Felix]

Hi i'll be there
now the hard part which wings to choose

[RedCoralEdmonton]

Felix thats easy! All the wings!!!!

Steve

[reef-keeper]

Where is this wing place I would like to try and attend this meeting If my job will allow me to make a drop in and this will be my first attempt to drop in.

[ALang]

See the first page, address is right there.
See you there.

[reef-keeper]

I believe my nick name should be STUPIDATMOSTTIMES when I went back and read the posting I found it. By the way I thank you and I hope to see you there as well.

Don't be so hard on yourself :biggrin: Hope to see you there!

[sgreen]

Hey...just wanted to say that we attended our first 'reefers meeting' and wanted to tell other 'newbies' that this is an excellent way to meet other reefers. Thank you for the wonderful meeting experience and we look forward to our next meeting and as well, talking with other members online. Also, a special thanks to Steve for the free LPS...candy cane coral.

Jim and Susan

[ALang]

Hey, we had a great time this meeting because of all of you! Too bad we couldn't see and hear each other at the other end of the table, we had so many people came out.
Many thanks to Steve who was so generous as to have brought VERY nice frags to the "newbies" who attended the meeting. I know because I shamelessly "begged" for one and won!:razz:
It wasn't just any old frag, either, it was a beautiful tri-colored SPS that I cannot wait to see how it grows!!:mrgreen: Thank you Steve, for doing what you do.
Wonderful times, too bad if anyone else there who didn't make it this time. Be sure to try to come to the next meeting. Lenny.

[sgreen]

We should have mentioned too that the wings were absolutely delicious!!!!

[Pipes1234]

Thanks to all for welcoming me today I learned a LOT ! ... I had a great time at the meeting, met a lot of really cool people and am glad I drove up from grande prairie ... I'll Definiatly be at the next meeting

Thanks again

[ALang]

Hey Pipes,
Nice to meet with you as well. Good luck with the pico-nano!
Anything you need, just post here, most everyone will try to help, if they can or know how. Still think you should do the 55G. More water, more forgiving when parameters swings, you know, just like fresh water. Keep us posted as to how things are, be very interested to know.
Hope your clean up crew made the long drive ok. Might have some blue/purple mushrooms for your tank next time you're in town.
Cheers, Lenny.

[RedCoralEdmonton]

Lol Lenny, he started his tank with some zoas and a mushroom courtesy red coral Edmonton, I'm sure his 55 will be up and running asap!!!

Steve

[Pipes1234]

I'm already planning it all out :p but I'll have to find good homes for all my chiclids first and than beg my wife ! But first I'll learn all I can with my nano ... Thank you very much Steve for the mushroom and zoas! I hope they make the trip home !!!! :biggrin:

[RedCoralEdmonton]

Lol they are zoas and mushrooms they can survive anything!!!

Steve

[corrosionjerry]

Unbelievable / I was there at 12:30 and the place was near full! I asked the waiter where the reefers were , and he was unaware of who the reefers were and looked at me like I was crazy... I was embarassed and just left... oh well

Glad you guys had a good time

[blacknife]

Dammit i was planning on coming but the wife threw cooking a turkey dinner for company that night at me and i totally forgot.. heh.. oh well next time

[ALang]

and than beg my wife !

Ha, ha. You'd learn to beg pretty much ALL of the time when you're in this hobby. Might as well stay on your knees for the rest of the time.
:lol:

[anemononimous]

HA! had i know Steve was handing out frags i wouldnt have spent all my money in his store earlier in the day... :)

anyway sounds like a good time was had, would have loved to come out but had prior plans.

BTW thanks for all the frags Steve, everything opened up and lookin good already. Firefish is doing well too

[fishytime]

it was great to see some familiar faces and to meet some new ones too......I had a great time at my first E-town reef meet(Cowtown needs to do this).....no pictures yet???...oh.....and the wings were great!:biggrin:

[sgreen]

I will print up a table sign that can be displayed that will allow all new reefers to know were we are sitting.

As newbies to this we were unsure of who we would be looking for, and we were the first to show up but Lindsay from BW had told us to look for a fellow in sweats and a t-shirt and that would be Fencer so when he walked in we introduced ourselves.
We knew Steve and Laurie from Red Coral, and Dawn from AI. So we have found that if you are at any of these stores just ask around and you will get to know some of the local can reef members.:biggrin:

[ALang]

Good idea on the signs.
Maybe we should just have Fencer wear a tall top hat to save everyone the trouble. "Just look for a top hat in the restaurant and you'll find us".:mrgreen:

Too bad on the failed attempt to find us, and we were the largest, noisiest group there, too, how could the waiter not know?? Must admit, the part about the "Reefer's " might have just threw the waiter off *JUST A BIT*??:razz::razz:

[anemononimous]

using the term "reefer" the waiter , possibly being younger was thinking he had not seen a table of pot smokers...lol

My wife is from Victoria and that was her first thought...:lol:, I quote "What kind of Meeting?..."

[reef-keeper]

I'm sorry I missing the only meeting that I really wanted to attended. My son took out his shoulder and we ended up in a Dr's office that was an extended visit. Now we have to go back again today. We are getting an assesment done to find out if he will physiotheropy and for how long. Please Notify me when the next meeting will be.

I thought we could put this at the tables so the new folks would find us.

Love the sign it looks great. Although I think it would be cool to see Wayne in a top hat :lol:

[sgreen]

The top hat might be a little over the top, but interesting I must say.:lol:

[cale262]

There's always the "nemo hat"...


http://www.elliottsbelfast.com/shop/images/nemo-hat-N.jpg

[sgreen]

Good choice....lol. Although the 'top hat' idea would be interesting to see, the 'nemo hat' would be more appropriate by far, no??? :)

[cale262]

Another nemo hat,...but in order to make this one work, you have to have dredlocks, a hacky sac and the slight odour of patchouli...:lol:

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IeOrHx-X0dg/TGrAux2SCmI/AAAAAAAACsQ/O7ZLPW0r3Ds/s320/Nemo.jpg

[fishytime]

we could ask one of the Girlys to wear the nemo outfit:twised::twised::wink: http://www.bestbuysaledeals.com/delicious-sexy-finding-nemo-outfit-adult-halloween-costume/

[ALang]

NO, No. I still think that either the top hat or the Nemo hat is better idea, as that Nemo suit looks chilly! Besides, I really don't think Wayne would look that great in that out fit! He has to loose that mustache first!

[RedCoralEdmonton]

lol Doug i dont even wanna know how you came about that site....hahaha.....

Steve

[ALang]

Well... maybe Sexy Shrimp has one in her closet??:mrgreen:

[fishytime]

Well... maybe Sexy Shrimp has one in her closet??:mrgreen:

well I havnt seen it yet.......if there is one........

How bout you?......would you volunteer to wear it:wink:

[fencer]

Mermaid man already has a costume but I could do the sign...does it come in Billboard size

[fishoholic]

NO, No. I still think that either the top hat or the Nemo hat is better idea, as that Nemo suit looks chilly! Besides, I really don't think Wayne would look that great in that out fit! He has to loose that mustache first!

:lol:

well I havnt seen it yet.......if there is one........

How bout you?......would you volunteer to wear it:wink:

You better not want to see that on anyone else! :evil:

[sgreen]

Sorry..the sign isn't quite in billboard size but if you are volunteering to wear it we could possibly see if we could do it in that size...just for you fencer!!!

PS: you will still have to wear the 'top hat' as well though...lol

[fishytime]

:lol:



You better not want to see that on anyone else! :evil:

er um......no no .....thats not what Im sayin........I just wouldnt want everyone else seeing MY Girly wearing that.......*gets credit card ready to order it for private viewing:twised:*

[ALang]

WOW. Can't believe none of the guys are clamoring for pics, Doug!

Oh, btw, anyone interested in using Coral Rx? I bought a bottle, the PRO, very concentrated, didn't realize how much it'll actually makes up>...30 drops/1gallon SW!!!
And it has an expiration date on it. Dang!!
So, seeing that I won't be buying that many corals, the next step is to hopefully parcel it out to everyone else.
What I propose is, anyone who wants 30 drops ($1.00) can bring their own glass container to the next meeting.
It is good for getting rid of all kinds of bad critters from purchased/ traded coral colonies and frags before they get into your system, preventing massive outbreak of nasties in the future. This is not Iodine-based.
Good for treatment of: Acropora eating flatworms, montipora eating nudibranchs, zoanthid eating nudis, bristleworms, red bugs, FILAMENTOUS HAIR ALGAE, rapid tissue necrosis, slow tissue necrosis, bacterial infections, etc...
Let me know if there are any interests.
Lenny.

[Wayne]

Lenny beat me to the 100th post, but I wanted the 100th reply :lol:
