I don't know about everyone else, but I had fun and of course spent to much money. Luckily some of my sales supplemented my spending.....Now to get everything in my tank
 
Good swap indeed! Thanks to all the vendors and to everyone for bringing all of the nice corals!
 
Good swap indeed. Snapped these few when I first got there, then got too busy to take any more. I had a great time. Job well done guys!!!









 
Anyone ever wonder why the name of the coral is often not even close to the color it acutually is? Huh? Anyway, I had a great time. Good to put faces to names.
 
I wanting to give a big thanks to everyone that helped with the swap. I thought it went great. One of the better swaps I have been to and that's saying something considering how the economy has been.
A HUGE job well done goes to Pickupman66. You really took the steering wheel and ran with it. Great job:thumbsup:

Had a great time:) It was good to see several people I haven't seen in months or even many years. Also good to see lots of new faces.

I look forward to next year!

...oh and FWIW I think Don Nolan is the only man in the world that's wife encourages him to go to frag swaps:)
 
I had an awesome time! I loved working the booth and moving the chairs and tables back. It was neat to meet old and especially new faces and brag on the great group of people I've come to know in the last year. Chris and I can't wait for the next one......$$$
 
Yep, I had a good time and met several new people and old friends. Of course I bought way too much stuff too.

All of my frags are dipped and resting nicely on the frag rack. I ended up bringing home 14 frags, a pygmy angel and some sweet urchin from Midwest.

Hi Chris, thanks for the frags. They all made it back to Alabama in great shape. The color on the miyagi tort is quite impressive under 20k radiums and yes I'm still wondering why my wife wanted me to go to Nashville today. ? Had a great time and thanks to everyone for all their time and effort in making it a very enjoyable frag swap. WAR EAGLE!
 
I had a wonderful time!! You guys throw such a great swap. I feel lucky to be in a driving distance. It was great seeing old familiar faces and meet new people as well.
