Stillwater Mini-Meeting: 2007
Well, us northern Oklahoman folks are long overdue for a gathering. The past Stillwater Mini-Meetings have been great, so lets do it again. We've had a large increase of reefers in Stillwater, Ponca City, Enid, and a few other places. It's time that we bring in this new blood for people to meet and get to know.

Who Can Come?
Anyone! You don't have to be from northern Oklahoma, nor do you have to be a COMAS member. The more the merrier.

What is going on?
At this meeting we are going to do like every other meeting; just get together, get to know one another, answer questions, etc. No real event is taking place, but the bringing of frags to be exchanged, books to read, cameras to take pictures, etc is highly encouraged. We will also dedicate a certain time frame about discussing whether or not these Stillwater Mini-Meetings should become official COMAS events. Some questions that will be asked are if we want to organize more officially: if so, how often, why, and so on; if not, why not, what do you want to do, etc.

In addition to all the socializing, we'll be grilling out various items to fill our tummies. Please bring side dishes, drinks, and extra chairs.

Where is it?
The Mini-Meeting will be held at Kevin Bekkelund's (Krbekk) home in South Stillwater.

1) Starting from the intersection of 6th and Perkins, head South for approximately five miles down 177.

3) Keep going East on E. 68th St. for about one mile.
4) Take a left and head South on S. Washington St. It should be your first road you can turn on to the left. It will be a gravel road.
5) Head South for about half of a mile, and Kevin's home will be on your left just past the home with the tall bamboo in front of it.


When is it happening?

Just a reminder that the Mini Meeting will be this coming Saturday. I have 5 racks of ribs to throw on the grill and I can't eat that much by myself. Come on down anytime after noon and if you get lost give me a call. BYOB.
 
Camera Knowledge?

Camera Knowledge?

Tara and I will probably be in attendance.

Will there be anyone there that has experience with the Canon Rebel XT DSLR? I would be happy to bring my camera if someone could share their technical knowledge in using it taking tank shots. Get Kevin set up with some great tank shots. This would then set us up to go home and take some great pictures of our tanks. If anyone would be able to bring a macro lense to be used with my CANON REBEL XT DSLR that would be a bonus.

There has been mention of frags at this meeting, how will this be handled/sctructured?

I don't know if there is anyone that specifically has any technical information about the Digital Rebel, but there are plenty of people in the club that can offer assistance. Just bring it along, and if nothing else, you can practice taking pictures :)

There has been mention of frags at this meeting, how will this be handled/sctructured?
This will be handled between people. Just bring any frags or extra money and buy/sell/trade at your will throughout the meeting. No formal time is being set up. No COMAS Donor Program Frags will be traded at the meeting. This is reserved strictly for COMAS meetings only.

Travis, I got things to do around noon, but afterwards me and jess will do our best to make it up that way before the meetings over. I really don't wanna miss this one.
 
I figured as much, but it would be nice to make it in time to socialize with everyone for a bit. Either way, I still wanna come see your setup and all. :D (if you'll remind me before friday, I'll bring the next movie rental for ya guys, lol)
 
Awesome, because we only have four episodes to go, and I'll probably watch them tonight. BTW, Sonya had the whole season watched by the following weekend, again.
 
Sorry everyone. I'll be out of town this weekend and unable to attend the meeting. Hope it turns out well.
 
Hey Adam, you are more than welcome to stop by my place and see my tank if you feel like it. I am kind of on the way to Travis's.

Totally up to you!
 
Well, unfortunately not many people showed up for the meeting, but it was still fun. Thanks jeeperrs, brakishboi, and Little Bitty for swinging by. Hopefully next time we'll have a few more people there to eat up all the extra ribs and beer :)
 
Yes, the ribs were WONDERFUL. Thanks for taking the time to make them Kevin. As for travis, beer is always nice ha-ha :) Thanks to you both for you effort and work.
 
It's not a problem. A lot of people had last minute stuff spring up on them, and then the storms hit making that much more difficult for people to get out to do stuff. In passing, I thought that it was a lot of fun.
