Cincinatti Frag Swap

[ct_vol]

Most of you guys check out the MTRC forum, so are probably aware of this...

Wondering if anyone is planning on attending??? I know Matt said he was probably going to go... I think I'm most likely attending... I'll probably leave here really early and come back directly after... Don't really care to spend the night up there before or after... It is the same day as our scheduled monthly meeting though... Something to keep in mind...

I was also planning on doing this in one day, but for some reason thought it was the week after our club meeting (thanks for pointing that out!).

If we do find a host and schedule a meeting, then I may not go...but if we have enough people interested in going, we could do an ETRC "lunch meeting" after the swap or something. I'm sure we could carpool/caravan and arrange rides for everyone who wanted to go; I would be able to take a few people with me.

The invert order is scheduled around this meeting though, so it would probably be best to stay local if we can decide on a meeting place.

No interest in this? I know it is an early start for a far-away swap...but maybe a good chance to exchange frags/network etc. The above link has been updated with more information. It looks like there will be a huge raffle too, and I would expect that this will boost attendance-- so any takers from ETRC? I can provide transportation for 6 additional adults (Suburban, bring your favorite DVD's!), but if I'm alone, I'm taking a small car...

Well Randy, looks like this is our thread
I have maps/directions ready for tomorrow's trip
I think we'll be able to listen to THE game on the way back

LOL I was already planning on taping it just in case if you weren't up to listening...

You guys missed out today!!! I got some great frags for pretty darn cheap... Lots of vendors there!!! And my one and only raffle ticket won!!!!!!

Matt was the true winner of the day... We only came back with one clown and he cleaned out the raffle prizes!!! lol I think he ended up winning 12 or so items...

All and all it was very successfull trip... The Ohioans were happy to have us ETRCers...

Be envious... Be very very envious...

All kinds of stuff! We mostly put tickets in for items that we will actually use: 7 packages brine shrimp, 2 big bottles of DT's, 2 packages phycopure, 1 package live pods, t-shirt, light bulbs (Randy's win), and $175 in various gift certificates. Not bad at all!

We got to meet and chat with a lot of the Cincy reefers and picked up quite a few frags (I was planning to buy 2-3 but came home with 6!). The Nemo "frags" seemed to be popular. We made good time on the trip both ways, listened to the Vols win on the way back, all in all a pretty good day
