Fish Geeks Gathering
 

Hello all! Since I'm the wife of a fellow fish geek, I think that I'm allowed to call it that!

I'm organizing a get together in honor of the fantastic job Jonathan did with his new tank. I think that he should show it off, sooner than later. :biggrin:

So here are the details:

Who: Fellow Fish Geeks and their significant other!
What: Eating and drinking (BYOB)
Where: Jonathan & Katie's house
When: Saturday, September 20, 6pm - whenever
Why: So everyone can admire our new tank!

Please let me know if you can make it and how many, just so I can organize the munchies etc.

See you there! :bday:

WOW!
Ok sounds good to me. I suppose I have to show up as it is my house :lol:

I don't think I really need to say anything. The question is, I'm in Calgary so much, should I be counted on the census?

Is there anything better than this ? :mrgreen: :cool:

Yes, there is. It would be better if Jonathan and Katie's party was in Vancouver. :lol:

Your presence is a given Quinn.

Sam get yourself a plane ticket! Christy did :razz:
There is alway's a place to stay.

Count me in as a tentative. It all depends on the weather. :biggrin:

I read in the farmer's alminac that the weather was supposed to be beautiful that weekend Bob. Perfect for a visit to the beach! You Vancouver folk are so lucky that you live so close to the beach.
:lilangel:

The weather? Are you worried it will be snowing by the 20th? I'm sure we can stay inside the house. :confused:

I guess clarification is in order. If the weather stays good, I will probably continue going to my weekend retreat until the weather turns nasty.
:grab:

I don't think the weather gets really nasty until after November sometime, so I'm counting on it still being nice that weekend.

Retreat? What kind of retreat? So how come you never invite any of us?

Too much information... :mrgreen:

Re: Fish Geeks Gathering
 

Yes you probably do have the right to call us reef geeks, and being the reef geeks we are. We'll just stand in the basement and ooh and aah over the tank and all the equipment if it snows. :lol: :biggrin: :mrgreen:

I will have to get back to you on whether I can make it or not. I have to check my shift schedule and with my wife. She has the same swollen belly affliction so it depends on if she's up for the drive.

Keith

I'm in... :mrgreen:

sorry, won't be able to make (I am having a housewarming party, in my new place wooo!). But I will definately have to come and see it sometime!!!

Love to go but we have a friends 40th birthday bash to attend ... will think of you all as we sip a rum or 2 or 3 :mrgreen: ... I am sure we will see it soon enough though and Jon has been threatening to come over to see the other " monster " tank at my house :biggrin: ... have a great time !

Cheers

Thanks, we'll be there.

well uh i am a geek and i do like fish so if the invite exstends to my area then i am in

bumpity bump. Oh did I mention there will be some munchies :lol:

I should hope so..... :mrgreen: :razz: :lol:

Well not quite 10 plates of yummy sandwiches Deb but to give you an idea, puggirl has allready made some special cookies tonight to freeze and is printing off alot of recipies from the net.

Count me in !!!
Bob, did you say you would be a tenant ? I think they're just inviting us all over for a visit. Perhaps they'll let ya' move in though...? :eek:

Yea I think not! :eek: :rolleyes: :razz: :eek:

Bob apparently has some secret plans if it's not snowing Doug.

My plans are not at all secret. I just think they are not worth knowing to the general public. Unless the weather is particularly great, I will attend. :biggrin: :lol: :mrgreen: :razz:

Everyone need not worry!
I always provide a great spread of munchies! :biggrin:

This is true - Katie's munchies rock! (As if we need ANOTHER reason to attend!)

Yum! :biggrin:

I'd like to try and make the scene, as long as I don't have to work. Are camera's or video recorders allowed? Not for stealing,using or selling your setup ideas or anything like that :rolleyes: :cool: :mrgreen:
Ande

It would be great to have you.
There is a $10 picture fee :razz: :lol: Kidding of course

We would love to join in if there is still room :confused: As usual we are a little late getting to you.Let us know what we could bring to help out...Tks Norberto & Tina

Hey Canman & Pug Girl/lady with something in the oven,

Is it too late to add two (that's right Alan - 2 peoples) to your list of visitors? I'm trying but it seems I'm back to work in the patch already and my schedule = phone call at O-Dark:30, pack your bags and get your ass out of town BS.
Sure would like to scope out the setup :exclaim:

Kari

Hey, we're holding you to that - that's as good as a "maybe." :biggrin:

One week left... in the meantime, see you at Deb's tomorrow for some tank hoistin' and critter grabbin'!
:eek:

Norberto & Tina
Kari.
Of course there is room.
:biggrin:
Bring anything you wish. Beer is alway's appreciated. Or munchies is good too. :drinking: :bday: :drinking:

Here's what's on the menu so far:

Crab Artichoke Dip w/tortillas
Salmon Dill Spread w/crackers
Shrimp Rings
Fish Crackers
Fish Shaped Creamcheese Sugar Cookies
(Which will be my 3rd batch, as the baby seems to be eating them all!) :biggrin:

Can you see a trend here? :Fade-col:

So, if anyone feels like bringing anything else besides beverages, please feel free!

mmmmmm

Well I just counted and we should have quite a gathering!

15 inclunding Kate and Myself :bday: :rainbowa:

Are the menu items harvested on site?

You bet! We Just pull a few salmon out of the monster and use them :lol: :rolleyes:

Can anyone bring some xenia to the meeting for me? I can't grow it faster than Spike can eat it and I like to get him stoned once in a while... :cool: :mrgreen:

Does someone have a salt bucket they can bring to Jon's to donate to my cause?

Empty I am guessing Quinn?

Yes. Unless you want to give me one with salt in it. :razz:
