If possible, can everyone text me there planned arrival time so I can see if we can spread the crowd throughout the day, instead of 20 people all at one time. Just let me know "Noon", "Mid-afternoon", "Late afternoon/evening". It'll also help me know how much food to have ready to feast on for the "lunch crowd".
Note, I'm in a cul-de-sac so parking is a bit limited so carpooling would help reduce the congestion:wink: Also, this is a family-friendly event, so please no streaking or other drunken hi-jinx (you know who I'm talking to) ;P BTW, just a reminder, Pinhead (Doug) has generously offered a RBTA for a door prize and if anyone else feels generous and would like to also donate a door prize, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone has any food allergies, please let me know. I'm planning to set out some peanuts and other stuff for snacking on, but will change this if it could lead to anaphylactic shock!! I'll have some hot dogs for those who aren't into eating anything "exotic" at a BBQ. ;P I'll post the final menu by Friday, once I know what I'm cooking for sure. All the meats will be marinated at least 2 or 3 days ahead of time. |

|
I'll be there at noon.

Etaloche frogger xerxes300 + 1 Castaway (evening) Possible/Probable Reef Pilot War Dog e46er Visiting msjboy + kids Target??? Wow, we're up to 22 confirmed attendees (19 local reefers) & a few visitors. Something came up and Byee can't attend but Castaway's coming in the evening. Irene & the kids may also go visit some relatives and attend a close friend's birthday party so room is less of an issue now. Unfortunately the weather is going to be cloudy & maybe raining, but got a 24' x 14' covered deck so NOT a problem, just an inconvenience. Also will have my outdoor wood burning terracotta fireplace fired up and toasty warm on Saturday. Menu for the day: Finger foods Chips Nachos & dip Veggies & dip (carrots, bell peppers, Eng. cuc., mushrooms) 3 types of peanuts Salads [Reser's so store bought - but everything else is made from scratch] Potato salad Macaroni salad Main Entrees Malaysian Curry turkey & potatoes Stir fried vermicelli noodles BBQed marinated pork chops BBQed dry rub chicken BBQed marinated chicken Possibly Tandoori chicken??? Possibly Beef Souvlaki??? Hot dogs Smokies Sockeye salmon Dessert Fresh cantaloupe melon Other fruit A few things Laurie (The Guy) is bringing Was planning to make stuffed slider burgers but can't find small burger buns so these will have to wait till my next bbq. |
I'm on the lookout for a Red Dragon or Purple Dragon SPS (really any dragon:wink:) so if anyone who's coming to the BBQ has a decent sized frag (tiny frags just get lost & disappear in my 6' display tank), please pm me with a price and size. A text pic would also be appreciated (604-868-5553). Thanks.
And yes, I've been slightly bitten by the SPS bug (I blame Jessie & Jay) but trying to keep this new "addiction" under control. So the hard core SPS reefers (Bblinks *cough cough*) will at least have a few sps to see when they come here (have Forest Fire Digi frags, Pink Lemonade frag, monti cap and a Purple Valida colony). I keep mostly LPS, but have some colourful zoas, ricordeas/mushrooms, Dendros, 17 RBTAs (7 different mother nems), and even softies (pulsing xenia, finger leathers & green toadstools), so hopefully my tanks will be interesting regardless of what varieties of corals you're passionate about. Looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday. There are also 2 fw shrimp tanks, an endler tank, a fancy goldfish cube, 2 baby Hermann tortoises and some koi in a pond outside. BTW, if anyone wants to come and isn't yet on the list, please post on this thread &/or pm me and we'll make room. Plenty of food too.:biggrin: For those on the fence about attending, lots of newbies, reefers with some experience and "old-timers" coming to this reefer community event so a lot of addicts to talk to and network with. Some people will be bringing stuff to sell, trade or give away too, so added bonus. I have a good supply of hydroton for anyone who wants to buy some of this biomedia ($10/gallon). Also, Pinhead has generously donated an RBTA and rsisvixen has offered up some pods for door prizes. I have some greenish zoas (very hardy but nothing too eyecatching) which I can give to anyone who wants some (even to feed to their butterflies or angelfish). Anthony PS: Walter, (ReefPilot) if you come, we can discuss when is a good date/time to come out and help redo your tanks before your upcoming surgery. I'm sure we can get a few volunteers to carpool out to your place:wink: one of these days. |

Sounds like it will be a good crowd, though. Have fun everyone. |
see you
HI Anthony
Probably drop by around 4/4:30PM for a visit... stay just for a very short while as mentioned. Best regs kenny |
Ill bring some Cinnamon Twist type thingers for people to snack on.
I'm half decent at baking but haven't done any yeast type doughs since highschools. Lets see what happens! I am after any unique Euphyllia that I do not currently have in my collection. If anyone who is attending has something fancy, let me know what you have and a price. I have lost my colonies of a few things I sold to some folks in the past and would be interested in getting a frag of those again. ( I guess a 5gal WC once every 2 months doesn't quite cut it when you have excessive amounts of coral :lol: ) Used to have a nice light green tip, green torch. Would anyone like to carpool? I can empty my car and take 4 other people. Could either go south along Marine way to Anthonys or Hwy 1. Let me know! |
Count me in pls will bring along for raffle prize mixed bag of macro algae
|
I'll be bringing some home cultured trigger pods for the raffle
|
So today's finally here and I'll see all of you this afternoon. After days of shopping, prepping & planning, come on over and lets get this party started (at noon) ;)

Anthony |
Doug (Pinhead)
Please bring your raffle tickets you mentioned or else we'll do it using handwritten tickets. Thanks, Anthony |

BTW, I have set up my open concept livingroom/dining room to now seat at least 19 hungry people at tables so if this weather is too cold and wet for anyone to hang out outside while I bbq, there's room to accommodate everyone indoors.
Rishu & wife are unable to make it due to the flu, so if anyone who hasn't already gotten their names on the list of attendees want to still come, there is room and plenty of food. Going to fire up my 2 Webers in a half hour and so most of the food will be ready for the "lunch crowd" at noon. Remember, I live on a cul-de-sac so parking is a bit limited. Carpool if possible. Arrive early or on time to park closer. My house is the big white with red tile roof Tudor 4-plex. Mine has the B and Seahorse on the door, plus lots of condensation on the front window:wink: |
Running late, will only get there after 2ish.
|
Food is all ready.
|
Come on guys. Where are you all!!!
Dont make me eat all the food on my own. |
Be there 5-5:30 . Hopefully people will still be there !!!
|
We will be there in about an hour or so. See you guys soon!
