i was wondering if anyone would be interested in this as a raffle?

I have some nice zoo's and some other frags that I'm sure someone would like. Just not enough for a table. Can I only bring three?

 

[FISHMAN350]

3 frag max

3 frag max

yes you can only bring 3 frags max to put in the holding tank. it wouldnt be fair to the people who have reserved tables and they are only 10.00 or 5.00 for half. the frags you bring need to be in bags and you will have to check them in. get a couple of buddies togther to share a table. i need to know by 4:00 today. thanks

 

[jeemann99]

Can someone just come and purchase these frags or does it have to be in trading? Also, what time does it start?

 

[gkq325286]

10:30
I think a lot of people read "swap" as trade only. So I'll be happy to trade you frags for your ultra rare green paper. I believe everyone will as well

I just moved to the Chicago area from Florida. I have been checking out the local stores and I am excited about this weekend. Since I have never been to one of these meetings/swap meet is there anything I should know or bring with me? Looking forward to meeting yall.

Welome to Chicago...Bring cash and perhaps a cooler to bring stuff home in...so they don't overheat on the ride home, plus convenient way to keep all of the bags together in the car.

[MBasile]

o and by the way, was there anyone coming from the south side that would like to carpool or something and we can split the gas or something? thatd be really cool so just let me know!!

 

[waterway]

Is anyone interested in that kind of trade?

I'd be interested in a nice RBTA if one was available. I hope the prices are better than at the LFS!! Spending $50+ on a piece can be draining!

 

[FiberLux]

FISHMAN350 - You did an awesome job with the frag swap!

Thanks for all of your efforts to bring this off!

Thanks also to Dave for a great host!

Ditto to above. Very good time, next time I have to bring a stool are something though.

 

[adamatic]

Nice work on the fragfest FISHMAN - the mixed zoo rock I got from you is opening up nicely!

Thanks to Dave as well for the venue and the brats. Looking forward to watching stuff grow...

 

[Tabeaubi]

Fishman you did an excellent job. Everything ran smoothly and everyone left happy.

Dave and the Oceans Floor crew thanks for being gracious hosts.

Hopefully this will be the first of many Fragapaloozas. I can only imagine how great it will be at the next one.

It was nice meeting many of you and hope to see you all again.

As "gkq325286" said, going to being a stool or something next time.

Ok....It's saturday night, time to start the boozin'

Good evening.

Fishman, you did a great job of getting this all together.

Dave was a great guy as well, with all the madness he still found the time to talk with everyone.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to make the 2 1/2 hour drive, but didn't regreat it for a second, especially when I put the 8 new frags in the tank.

Will definatly see everyone at the next Fragapalooza.

Dave

 

[SaraB]

Ditto ... It was fun and a great venue to get some frags and chat with fellow reefers. Can't wait for the next one!

 

[MikeD]

I agree. One of the coolest things I've been to! That was my first frag swap and it went well. I only brought in three little mushroom rock frags and when I first got there, I thought I had to babysit them all day (almost regretted getting a table) but they went quickly and I was able to spend my small budget afterwards!! I restrained myself from spending TOO much and came home with 4 nice pieces and all are quite 'new'!! I can't wait till next time and I'd love to share a table with someone!! Next time, people should wear their reefcentral ID's!! haha I only met John / Fishman! But I probably bumped into many others!

What a great time! Thank you Dave and to everyone else who helped make this a great event! Can't wait for the next one, well worth the drive!
