The bar has been raised!
 

Big thank you to Jim and his family for hosting an awesome fish nerd party!

I enjoyed very much chatting with everyone, I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to chat with everyone there. I hope next time comes not too far in the future.

Very nice system Jim.

A big tip of the hat to all the out of towners who came. Wow, you guys rock.

Great Party
In the words of the Bard (J Buffet)

"As I stumbled to find me a taxi
I saw a note pinned to my sleeve.
It was a pleasure and a hell of an evening
It was truly our night to win
But the authorities insist on my leaving
Take care, my American friend

That was a lot of fun! Great to meet so many of you, sorry we didn't get to meet everyone though, catch ya @ the next one!

A special thanks to Jim and Diana for hosting it! See you all soon!

So I missed the turn off, :rolleyes: and I ended up leading Brad & I ALLLLLLLL the way EAST of Calgary. Far, far east, like out of town east! :lol: LMAO! So Deb, yeah we missed that left hand Macleod trail turn off. :lol: :rofl:

Yes indeedy I ended up leaving Calgary late and felt like it was the longest drive back home to Edmonton, :sleeping: ever. I was SoOoOO tired and ended up making it home just after 4a.m. :eek: But... it was WORTH IT! :mrgreen:


Thanks Jim & Diana for hosting an awesome meet! :mrgreen: You were truly great hosts, food was awesome, company was great and your tank setup was truly awesome. Btw...NICE cabinet work done by Majestic Aquariums! WOWZERS! Rob, you guys did an amazing job! *CLAP*

Also it was so nice seeing a bunch of you again and a true pleasure meeting a lot of new reefers too, especially the guy in the white dress shirt, dark tan (super cutie) :wink: I can say that right! I'm not married! :lol: Although he could be. :eek: That I'm not sure. :lol: Anyway, You Calgary guys rock! I so love Calgary reefers, you guys sure know how to throw a party. :mrgreen:

Also special thanks to stores & people for the awesome prizes. I won a KEWL expensive pump (thanks Albert @ Golds!) :biggrin: & a $50 gift certificate to Gold’s! (Thanks Rob @ Majestic Aquariums) :razz: WoOHOO! Hope I didn't take away to many of the cool prizes from you Calgarians. I know a bunch were dying with envy. :lol: I'm such an impostor hey! :razz: Can you believe I never won anything before this! :razz:

Special thanks to Tony for the awesome baggies of frags (pipe organ, mushrooms, zoo's, colt)! WOW WEEEE! I opened my baggies at home and was so amazed at how much you gave me! :mrgreen: Your to generous Tony. *SUPERHUGS*

Also thanks to Bob, for the kewl brain & mushrooms. Although Bob wasn't able to make the meet, he was so kind to drop off before he left town. Thanks again Bob and thanks Jim for holding them for me. *HUGS* :mrgreen:

Thanks to the many others too that I got amazing frags from. To many of you to name all. Frags are all looking awesome! Thanks a super bunch! *SUPERHUGS* :mrgreen:

Hey before I forget, I do have a bunch of pictures too that I took. :biggrin: I'm at working now but will try to post them later this evening. :mrgreen:


Cheers Calgary & B.C! Your awesome! :mrgreen:

:BIG:


Thanks again everyone for welcoming an out of towner like myself! *HUGS* :mrgreen:


Lee

:eek: You ended up on McLeod coming from Jim's place going to Edmonton?? Man you guys really did make a wrong turn somewhere!! :lol: Glad to hear that eventually you made it home OK!!

Well we were aiming at meeting up with another reefer before heading out at Chinook mall but somehow I lead us (Snaggle behind me in his car) to the wrong end of town (WAY EAST, like out of town East) by missing the turn off. :lol: :lol:

The real adventure was getting back, finding the missed turn off and then after finally hitting my destination it was the adventure to leave Calgary going through the crowd of stampeders! :eek: But got to drive right in front of the amazing view of the stampede fireworks. OOhh...Ahhhh... very pretty and was the most perfect spot to see them to, going down the hill of Mcleod trail. :mrgreen:


Yup, the adventure home was LONG, but thank gawd for Tim Horton's in Red Deer stop. Nothing like a wake up java for the rest of the highway drive. I have to thank Snaggle (Brad) for leading most of the way, keeping each other in check if one of us fell asleep behind the wheel. I was SoOoOo tired and know he was to. But We Both MADE IT HOME! WoOHOO! Brad was kind to send me an email to double check if I made it the rest of the way.

Boy, I can't tell a short stories, can I. :lol:

Next time we take on car so we wont get as lost :lol:


Brad

How much did you have to drink? :) I was wearing blue! :rofl:

So Ms Photographer... Where are the pics?

Andy

Thanks to everyone for coming to the frag meeting.... it is the great participation from all of us reef geeks that makes these events so much fun !


Dianna and I were glad you all came.


PS..... I found an extra carbon filter if someone wants it :mrgreen:

PSS...... someone left a blue bowl here.....

PSSS..........We drank the bottle of homemade red wine that was left here. Whoever made it....... it was delicious :biggrin:


Hope to see you all soon !!!!!!!


Jim

I left you a bottle of red and one of white. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for all you did to make the evening happen.

Sorry guys ...........
It was me in the dress shirt.........


:razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz:

:lol: :lol: You guys are funny. :rofl:

Maybe your right...maybe the punch was spiked. :eek: It was pretty good punch and vodka was right next to it. Although I don't think so. :lol:


Now I can't show any pic's of white shirt guy. :lol: The mystery continues.... Does he know who he is? :razz:

Where's the pic you took of me taking a pic of you? :razz:

I do have that one. :biggrin: But...can't seem to fit all the pictures on here. Need someone else's space to fit the other pictures. I'm at my limit. Any Volunteers? :question: :mrgreen:

Also looks like some screwed up to. Oops..in a super rush and heading out so not able to fix now. Late tonight more likely.

Enjoy though!

:mrgreen:

send to me, i'll host em on my photobucket account

Just a tip,

You can also host any number of images for free at:

imageshack.us

You have to upload one at a time for free but it does the job if you're out of space... And you can host them as long as you like..
Mike

Great pics! :cool:
