Our latest vendor, NY Coral King will be selling 'high end clowns' like platinum, picasso, black ice, etc

He has offered a discount to those who want to pre order. PM me for details.

Wow finally things seem to be coming around and in a big way I will definitely be listening to the interview on WCCC and be telling my friends about it! Rich, you are the man!!!

 

[Gobey]

It's hard to believe that I'll be trying to explain our complex reef keeping hobby in just few minutes. I've been going over my notes all weekend and practicing in front of the mirror.

Can you buy tickets at the door? Didnt think I was going to be able to go and found out last night I can. Logged on about 11:00 and it was to late to order tickets.

 

[seagull18]

You can buy tickets at the door but according to BfishLpond (5 minutes ago) on the "link to CMAC tickets" you can still purchase the tickets online for $20.

 

[BfishLpond78]

Well I needed to order another ticket...and when I got the confirmation email it said it was $20.00...sooo I dunno...lol

sent from never never land...

 

[BubbaBoBobBrain]

Just read the preorder thread for tickets and it says they extended the $20 preorder ticket price until Wednesday.

 

[trstange]

Good work Rich!

 

[BfishLpond78]

Is there an itinerary going to be posted in terms of speakers...exhibits posted?

sent from never never land...

 

[Gobey]

We felt it would be better to extend the online ticket sales until after my radio interviews tomorrow. I'll take the blame on this one.

It was a nice, but sort of last minute change of plans, but I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

We need to close the online sales a few days in advance of the conference because we need to make the name tags/entry passes.

Never before have I been looking forward to the end of a vacation, lol. I kinda wish I was on vaca next week instead of this week so I could enjoy what I get on Sunday a bit more before missing out because of work. But at least I get to end my vaca on a high note, lol. See you all on sunday

Psyched for new frags, Reminder for our radio interviews today!

Psyched for new frags, Reminder for our radio interviews today!

I am starting to get excited for new frags!

I dusted off my custom CTARS frag cooler bag and sold some blood for frag cash too!

You know me, once the new frags have been dipped (like a responsible reefer), acclimated and I have nice polyp extensionl, I'll lop them

in half :hammer::mtool::deadhorse::beer: and make sure I sell or trade clone frags locally to my friends in CTARS to extend the reach of the CT broodstock should I have a tank mishap. I encourage you all to lop your new coral in half and I have plenty of space in my systems to keep them save for you with a back up generator! :wave:

Wait, that one smiley face is not fragging a horse faced monti is he???!!!

My bad...

Reminder CTARS has the two on air radio interviews today! The first one is on AM 1360 at 9:35 AM and the second is at 4:00 on FM 106.9 :thumbsup:

It's going to be interesting and I'm curious to see if these spots will draw some undeclared reef keepers out of the woodwork and into our awesome club and better yet to our conference on Sunday (so much pressure on me...) :wavehand:

Is there such things as TOO MANY SMILEY FACES in one post?

 

[Gobey]

I think I nailed it!

Any feed back? I tried to plug everyone...

 

[BubbaBoBobBrain]

I tried both stations where I live and don't get either one of them :sad2:. I'm glad you think it went well and wish you luck on the next interview also

 

[suicideissleep]

So is the vendor room open all day or does it close for speakers?

 

[skeeter7424]

ticket purchased! Really looking forward to this meet and getting to finally meet some of you guys who I talk to on here (and other forums!)

Already spent most of my allotment on pre-orders for stuff, that may have been ill-planned

See everyone saturday morning
