Tons of fun! I was working with some others at the bar in the back passing out raffle items, and woah did I see a lot of awesome frags. There was a pokerstar frag, some neat Undata I believe that Norman identified which was marked LSU, an aquacultured maxima (tiny little guy), and some other awesome items. So much good stuff =)
I brought home:
AOG - funny because it has yellow polyps attached to it, and they opened first, and I didn't see the AOG at all. I was like, NOOOOooooooo! This was the only pick I made too that I really searched for, hehe. But then, bam, a couple hours later I saw a few polyps of red/pink/orange/armorofgoddycolor
sweet!
leng sy cap - thanks norman!
tyree neon toadstool - thanks art (reefboy1)!
Tyree LE Ponape Birdsnest - thanks roy (radiolunatic)!
Ruby Reds and Ruby glows (i think) - thanks charles and eileen!
Umm, something with red eyes, an LPS like chalice - thanks norman!
It was a great swap this year. Fantastic!! Thanks everyone for organizing and participating.

Here are some pics of my scores
Sunset monti (not one but 2 frags were in the container) one was a little beat up but seems to be recovering.
Hoeksemai (my wife has nicely named the grave marker coral)
Kinetic's Zoa (for lack of a better name) Man do I need some photo skills and a tripod. Sorry Kenetic best I could do.
And here is what is left of my sad little AOG mother colony (about 9 polyps) in case someone picked one of the two frags I put in the swap.

I got:
AoGs
Idaho Grape
Green Monti Cap
Monti Cap with Green Polyps/Purple Rim
Orange Digitata
Got pretty lucky with the raffle too (for $20!):
Alien Eye Blastos from Atlantis
Red and Green Pentagona (anyone know light/flow requirements for these?)
Big rock of bright orange and green zoas from Aquatic Bliss
Pink-something SPS from Atlantis (I threw away the bag before I wrote down what it was
)
2 bags of frag plugs
I had a really great time, and was really glad I came early to help out. I think it allowed me to meet a lot of people I probably otherwise wouldn't have met. Also, the ASAP tour was very cool!

I got it in a thinnish bag that only said: AOG on it with black sharpee.
I don't think it was mounted on a plug.
My last AOG's were all somehow lost / killed / eaten. Charles (cwolfus) was the last one I got it from, and boom, lost them during a tank move! Oi, that's the third frag I've lost. Hopefully this one will make it =)

I felt so rushed that I couldn't find the ones i was looking for and ended up grabbing something simple. I seem to remember last year having time to look at them before the swap started so you had an idea what was out there- 3 minutes wasn't enough time for me. Maybe next year there can be a preview time.
I looked for blue zoas, heard they were there but couldn't find them, then the 'time's up'.
This is my 2nd swap so I have no complaints as I came home with tons of stuff, even if it's the 'low end' variety, the yellow polyps and bright green mushrooms still excite me. I'm still a happy camper
Swap:
Frogspawn
Red Candy Cane
Teal Candy Cane
Green Metallic Mushroom
Yellow polyps
Kenya Tree
Xenia
Raffle (4 wins- 40 tickets)
Favia- a really cool looking piece, hope it makes it.
Lep..... (a light colored LPS)
Featherduster (frightens easily, he's pretty shy)
$5 gift certificate for LFS (hello cyclopeze!)
A huge thanks for BAR for putting it on, you guys rock! :thumbsup:

Well I picked up off the table:
A Poker star monti
a orange polyped digi
something that the felt tip ran on looks like it says Thales Turbin something <if anyone could clue me in I would appreciate it.>
From the raffle:
I got a second piece of poker star monti <gave it to a fellow R.A.R.E. club member"
I got a blue eyed lep
a green eyed pentogona
a branch with zoos all over it just labled zoos <anyone know what they were? A guy that was with us bought "ninja turtles" after the swap at one of the stores down there, and I swaer these look just like the ones I won>
And then I won a Leng Sy at the end.
Was it worth a 4 hour drive for me? Hell yes.
I just got a set Tek fixture with 6X54w bulbs about a month ago and stuck a bali slimer under it to make sure SPS would be good in my tank, I showed a awesome color, and even moderate growth on it, so I came down there with the intentions of getting a couple nice SPS for my tank and I came home with some wonderful pieces.
I can't thank you all enough. If I get enough growth I guaruntee that I will bringing frags of this stuff to the next swap.
