    I'm bringing cookies! Pretty sure my nephews ate a few, so might be less than a batch >.>

    I'll bring plastic silverware.

    I'll also donate a 5 gallon frag transport system for auction that can hold a couple hundred frags.

    Thank you @DCHarrington! My privilege to cook. Thanks to EVERYONE! I went from two to eight coral in no time. I have potential trades set up for much more. Will take pics of everything in the tank. Let me say that if you missed this meeting, you truly missed out. Lots of good interaction. The corals were top shelf. The site was great. Have yet to see my zoas open, but I am thinking the war favia might be the best coral I got and I drew 14th. Zoas are next up in the dip line, then Furan 2, then tank. Pictures by 11.

    Can't say thank you enough to John, Kim and Jason for all the planning and prep work to make today happen. Thank you to Kevin and Paradise Pets for an outstanding host venue!

    Thank you Fishbait for the awesome BBQ! Whitney Butler, if you're watching you have competition!

    Maybe more importantly, thanks to all the rank and file members who not only showed up today but pitched in to make this a success. Every time I looked around someone was working on something that wasn't their assignment but they saw a need and jumped in! Well done!

    Yes today was a good event. Thank you to everyone. I'm exhausted, shower, dinner, bed I think.

    If anyone has any feedback I would love to hear how we can continue to make our events better.

    Really loved the presentation on the different corals offered with the run down on care and safety. I know some of it was pretty basic, but I think those of you that are old hands at this stuff forget some of us could use the guidance still. :)
    The food was amazing, some of the best BBQ I've ever had!
    I also got to meet some people that live closer to me!

    It was well done by all. John gets mucho praise. He worked his butt off with all those frags. Huge thanks. Caps, Favia, Acan Enchinata and even more zoas. Curious about those who got the Lepstosis

    @Molli (blushing) Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed it. As the non-culinary school guy where I work, a private school cafeteria, the old preacher likes to know that occasionally he can keep up with the big dogs.

    I hope everyone dipped all their new corals. I think I found eggs. I say think because they looked like eggs but they didn't look like eggs that I am used to seeing. I dipped all of those corals twice but I didn't have them long enough to break the life cycle. That is why my frags went back in to QT/Observation. Even the Acro's that didn't sell went in the frag tank for observation instead of putting them back on my frag rack.. My hands were in too many different containers of water and touched too many coral yesterday to trust anything to go back in my display.

    Thanks Fishbait for the BBQ and the take home plate. My wife said it was some of the best BBQ she's had and says thank you as well!

    My zoas have already opened up this time! They are in one of the temporary housing containers I had set up for the move along with some other zoas I need to furan dip before they go into the DT. I guess I'll dip them again just to be sure John!

    I had a wonderful time and hope those that got my Monti frags will have lots of new growth soon. I want to see pics!

    Great food, great prizes, nice conversation and learning. A good time all around! I'm so glad I found this group!

    You are most welcome. Flattery will get you everywhere. Again, I am so glad you enjoyed. We're the red Monti caps from you? Loving mine.
