You have a good point, I would recognize faces, however with all the people and the diferences in time maybe we all could cordinate a time to meet. Would be kind of like a field trip...remember back in the day:p

Just pic a time Joe or whoever and we will get it going, we could do lunch at Bob Evan's or MCD's or something, I guess the only time I can't is afterwards, my wife is having friends over later that day, so I got to leave around 5 at the latest. I probably won't be bringing anything this time, most of you got already what I have big enough to frag right now(so, don't feel bad Joe, it won't be a reefer's Christmas every time we meet, just glad to help out and hook you guys up when I can). Have a good one, oh the coupon thing bugs me too sometimes, I get them, but the cashiers are supposed to give customers them when you are paying for your stuff for the next visit and they never do, or else I would be spending money there every week instead of every month or month and a half.

Matt -- I guess I will be the person w/ a print out of that photo in her hands, trying to locate people who resemble the image...

m0nk -- I can understand the $ thing, but if part of it is travel, you are more than welcome to ride along w/ me to the swap. My last VW had floorboards that were rusting out, but the current one is much safer... as long as you don't mind me driving 70-75 mph on 283.

As far as TFP and coupons... what is it about them not giving out coupons anymore? I'm trying to be understanding about how much their prices have gone up, but it really ****es me off when I don't receive the mailers and I would make the trip there more often if they would hand out additional coupons. (After all, I never leave w/out spending over $100...)
 
I'm planning on being there most of the day, but I'm not sure what the BOSS thinks about that.

Elysia, Sorry best I can do. Those that did not attend Bobby's could post a pic of themselves, so we know who to look for too. I don't know how this is run durning store hours, I mean I hope they stamp your hand or something so we can come and go as we please. I would say let's meet by the freezer case around 1pm(just threw that out there, if people have better ideas, lets hear them). Have a good weekend guys, mine will be better now that I got my Vortech working again, very good tech service on their end.

Bill, see you there.
Matt
 
Become my friend "Darin Weakley" on facebook, and I have the pic tagged as well as I could remember. If you see yourself in the pic and not tagged, lemme know and I'll gladly tag ya.

I'll give that some thought... though it's also partly the cost of entrance and then the amount I'd likely spend while there. :lol: But if I can manage to scrap up some money I'll let you know. Thanks for the offer! Btw, I still have stuff you might be interested in here at some point, just send me a PM.

No problem, Matt. I'm sure the photo will be helpful.

Just realized this... the event is from 11-4pm on the 31st. I thought it was 1-4 myself... but all the better, 2 more hours of fun :D

Also, a bit more detail...

I was just down there today and I've seen what others have been mentioning... there no longer is a pond 'room'... it's all wide open between the public fish room and where the event will be held. Is there going to be some kind of divider or whatever, because there'll probably be mass confusion with normal customers that aren't aware what's up. I'm sure TFP peeps got it under control, more so just curious :)

I'm not sure exactly how (physically) they will work the separation, but we will definitely have a separated/divided area designated for the swap. We don't want swap items getting mixed in with regular store items, so items from the swap will get marked with a tag or something so you don't get charged at the registers, and everyone will get a hand stamp or badge when they register for the swap that will allow you to go freely in and out of the swap area. We can post more on this if there's going to be anything tricky about it.

chaos... I'm counting on that, lol. the biggest thing is just going to be coordinating entry into the event. Especially the customers that show up that day having no clue what's going on. I think a bigger emphasis on pre-registration, even if not mandatory, would've been a good idea to get a better estimate of attendance.

Regardless, I appreciate the initiative of NCPARS to put this on, and TFP to accept their offer to host it. Overall I have no doubt it will be a great event :)
 
Well, I've been able to scrape up some cash and I'll be going now. I think Matt had the right idea of meeting up somewhere easy to find at some specific time, was it at 1pm by the frozen foods? At any rate, I'm thinking I'll be there almost all day, from before open (want to get salt early) until to close. Anyone can keep an eye out for me if they want, just tap me on the shoulder and if we haven't met just tell me your username. :D

How do you pay in advance? I couldn't find a place on the site to do that. Is it ok if I just pay when I get there? :lol:
 
You can probably pay when you get there. I'll see when I try to pay what I have to do and pass it on if I can, pay that is.
