VFW double booked and we lost out - no worries, new venue is just as good!!!!!

Bump to the top - just a little over a month away!!!

Almost here!!

Yep yep yep I'm going with Cammie.

Grr, I wish I could go... Just no fundage with the new build going on. Have fun!

Yep..there are three of us going so far. Can't wait!

See ya next Saturday!

Great to hear, Randy. See ya down there.

I will not make it. The baby will be here in a week.

Well, you're definitely making the right choice then, Dan. I hope everything goes well with the delivery. Keep us posted.

Almost didn't go due to the weather. But, Jim (icereefer) and I made the trek and I'm really glad we did. I met all the vendors coming to the swap and let me tell you, we are in for a treat. I hope you were all good this year so Santa can give you hobby moolah for Christmas!!

I also tried to be helpful to Matt at LSMAC's booth. He was selling donated frags/stuff as a fundraiser (which is helping bring Gary Parr to our swap) but he was doing pretty well on his own. I believe it was a huge success. There was almost nothing left at take down time. I'm watching LSMAC's forum for announcements to see if he says how much was raised. The suspense is killing me.

Check out the pics on TCMAS of the swap and look for our vendors for a sneak preview. Dirk Griffin (his has the huge display of drygoods), Reef Deep Aquatics, Oceans Paradise, The Digital Fishroom and Discovery Aquatics. http://www.tcmas.org/forums/showthread.php?t=40499

I made a promise to Dirk that we would have a crew of at least 6
people to help him haul stuff in. He was a bit leary of the stairs since we set up on the 2nd floor at the HSC. I'm counting on you guys for help
with this! Don't make a liar out of me! Really, I think we should help all the vendors as much as we
can after all, we want them to come back again next time!

It was a long but fun day and I'm sorry more of "us" didn't make it.

$1109 was the tally. We raised more in one shot than I think we raised in all prior combined (at least it feels that way!). Cammie's contributions almost didn't even get into bags and were already snatched up! It was truly amazing. Very excited for January!

Did you get anything good Cammie? I was checking out the pics and drooling. Not that I have any money or places to put stuff but can't help looking.
