Gathering postive Feed back from people wanting a Large meeting in the West

[Ed Hahn]

The plan is to have a Large Meeting on August 19th Weekend of 2005. I am hoping that all Clubs in the West can get together in Richland, Washington this year. Thanks to Reef Frontiers last year, Aquatic Dreams, Barr Aquatics,Amazon Bay, Oceanview Aquatics, etc and definitely Some very talented people that are Angels in Disquise. You know who you are........ I have heard from people that have a lot of influence on this hobby. I am learning a little more respect to individuals and will not forward thier ideas or personal emails.
I just want to say I have enjoyed communicating about this and hope things go even better this year(thank you for last year it was Awesome). Again if this can happen once a year out West it would be Awesome. The thought of getting everyone together for a good time without interfering with any other Reef Keeping Organization, event, etc. If only we can process the thought that we all are one group enjoying this hobby, and want to keep it around to enjoy while learning, and sharing.

I'm in . Just let me know what time to be there!!

 

[reedman]

I'd love to come back...just turn the heat down a little this time

 

[CarlaW]

Reed, we are talking August, we just need to stay inside more, like in an air conditioned motel, with lots of liquid refreshments.

 

[Ed Hahn]

You know its really cool knowing you two are wanting to make it..

 

[CarlaW]

That's gotta be the only thing that's cool in August. If we do a tank tour again, I'm not gonna turn the truck off, that air conditioning is just too nice!!!!
Ed, I wouldn't miss it!!!!

 

[Ed Hahn]

I am hoping to do a tank tour again. I have to speak to everyone in the group. Its hard for me to keep my mouth shut. We have some new custom large tanks, that is all I can say. I hope those people want the tank tour. I think they do..

 

[gobie]

Jeff, are those leopard wrasses? Nice lookin stuff.

 

[Oscapus]

Great idea, but I think Richland in August is a fatal flaw, and few people will show. But that has it's benefits too!

 

[The Apprentice]

Jeff, are those leopard wrasses? Nice lookin stuff.

 

[Zephrant]

I'm very interested and August is a pretty good time for me if I'm not working thirty shifts in a row...

 

[Ed Hahn]

I visited a Friend today. He built his own tank. I took pictures of it. I am hoping to see this big monster in the tank tour. He said that was his goal. I sent pictures to him and hope he displays them on here. Another Big Daddy Tank, I love it.

Oscapus,
You know its hard to get special people to show. I really want to meet Anthony Calfo. It would be a honor to have him as a guest Speaker. That was a big factor this year. Hopefully in 2005, it will be cooler where ever it is and what ever time it is.. I really enjoyed seeing the people that were here last August. I am sorry it was humid and hot August. We live in a desert area. So the humidity affected us also. I work for a Science Labratory. It has a weather station that shows weather from the past. I tell you last August was very hot. I looked at weather from the past and hoped to get a date as late in the month of August as possible. Things did not pan out that way. I can not say if it will be a cool week end or hot week end.

oops did not see the date I posted earlier...

 

[Mauisreef]

Hmmmm Lets see......95 degrees vs 10 degrees (right now)......Think I can live with the heat.
Like that cool dude from Montana said.......Plenty of refreshments will be in order.
Do I hear designated driver for the tour bus? :lol:
Count me in like Flynn Ed.

Maui

 

[Ed Hahn]

Aloha Maui,
Your Hawaiian personality would add to a really good time down here...
I look forward to talking to you again.
Mahalo,
Ed

 

[CarlaW]

I have only one rule about a tour bus.

Don't bother the driver while he's drinking.

Just kidding, if we have to car pool over, let me know!!!!!!!!!
