Calgary Reefers get together
 

Ok, get your mind outta the gutter - not that kinda reefer :lol:

Was visiting fish today, he mentioned he'd like to have a get together of the calgary reefers. Meet n greet, swap b.s. (maybe a few frags) get to know some of the local crowd... I sure wouldn't mind meeting some more reefers.

Any interest? Anyone got a larger house / location to have such an event (my condo is a bit small) I'm sure attendee's would be willing to bring beverages / snacks.

Andy

I have the same problem. My place is too small. What we could do is half go to your place, and half to mine. Then after a couple of hours we switch attendees. OK, just an idea. :biggrin: :lol: :mrgreen:

I was hoping to have the next get together but it was going to be in january.

Just in time for my birthday then? :mrgreen: :razz:

January works ;) What date did you have in mind?

Andy

I have no idea on a date yet....

I have the next 2 weeks off but there's too much going on this time of year.

I'll figure out a date and let ya'll know

Sounds like fun. Later in the month of January is better for me since I'm going south for a visit to my fishes relatives in the Caribbean in the second week. :cool: My house is also a bit small to host since I've yet to finish the basement.

Ok, we'll forgive you Ed, on condition that if you go snorkeling or diving you have to bring back pictures to show at the meet! :biggrin:

Well my house surely is not a mansion but the basement is developed at least.

:biggrin:

If we get some nice weather, maybe we can still have our late summer BBQ...

mmmmm.... baaaaarbecue......

mmmmm... turrrrkeeeey....

I can't get in the mood for a BBQ - never mind. :biggrin: But if anyone wants to have me over for a turkey sandwich in early January, let me know. :mrgreen:

Got a spare suit case I can tag along in? :razz:

Alan have you never tried BBQ'ing your turkey?! Oh man you have to try it. It's the only way I'll cook a turkey when it's my turn to do it.

OK Tony you barbecue the bird and slice it up, and we will make sure there is bread on hand for the sandwiches. :smilecol:

You intrigue me, Tony - and I do have a high-dome lid on my grill... I think I need more information. :wink:

course, that's not something to experiment with when we have 20 of my family coming over...

Well, it's not really any faster than cooking one in an oven. But hey, it's a BARBEQUE!!! I dunno - give me a BBQ and I'm happy to cook anything. Can you BBQ ice cream?

Ever tried deep fried? Once you do, you'll never have it any other way. :smile:

Great idea people! Bird or beast, roasted or fried, I'll be there :biggrin: .
I'd love to get to meet everyone - just let me know what I can bring (pop?... casserole?... frags?...).

- Chad

Sure, I'm game!

Count me in.

Anyone given this more thought?

I think we're waiting on canadian man to volunteer a date that's free in his schedule :)

If he's fallen asleep at the wheel... We could always have a big ol kawphy meet at like pizza hut by golds or something :)

Andy

I wanna get in on this as well. So is canadian man donating his house to the cause.

Yup still donating but trying to figure out with the other half what day is good.

When you have it all figured a new thread should be created where a person can post what kinds of frags and other offerings they will bring or need. IE: I need zoanthids....

I am a rookie at marine tanks but would like to meet and greet some others in the hobby. I have a 130 gal tank started in Sept 04 and am learning as I go.

Welcome aboard Snappy! :smile:

reply
 

Wish I had a 130 gallon tank when I started. In fact, I wish I had one now!

Ditto ... :lol:

:cool: Thanks for the welcome. I am interested to see what and how other people set up their systems. At the moment I have a community tank being slowly coaxed into a reef with fish but I think I must be about $10K away from what (I think) I want to end up with. This hobby is a bigger money pit than my car but I am really enjoying it. Looking forward to a meeting.

Check out the tank specification threads, they will give you a good idea about what other people are doing. BYW welcome to the board!

Have you guys set a date yet? I might try to wrangle up a few Edmontonians and come on down if that's alright...I'll even wear my favorite Eskimo's jersey :mrgreen:

Does the jersey have tar & feathers ? ... want some ? :eek: :razz:

:lol:

I'm in... I'd like ot meet everyone. I've only met Jonathan and Alan briefly...

meeting
 

count me in when a date is set.

Jonathan, are you sure you can handle this many people? :eek:

I don't know if this is a good idea... you think these guys can handle us? :mrgreen:
Depending on the date, I wouldn't mind dropping by.

-Rich

Well gee, if some of our Northern Members are going to mush on down for this, I could make some very rare "Edmonton Eskimo" zoos available...

:biggrin:

Re: reply
 

nope but that's part of the fun. It will have to be split from upstairs and downstairs. Basically a whole house get together.

I CALL BASEMENT! :mrgreen:
