dsoz Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I thought that the July meeting was going to be at Undrtkr_00's house doing some DIY rock... I could be wrong, but he was talking about it a couple of months ago. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JManrow Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 July 2009 PNWMAS Meeting Sorry about the delay of meeting info getting posted. My wife is in the hospital again.

JManrow Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Confirmation sent. I'm sure John will get e-vites to you all soon... (plotting) I am waiting until Monday to send out Evites. LeRoy Headlee is discussing with Sally Jo about coming out here for the meeting on the 19th. Please check out the GARF website! http://www.garf.org/index_archive.html He has many years of experience in making Aragocrete DIY Rock and propagating corals. If he can make it, he will probably bring frags to sell, or possibly trade. I will keep everyone updated after I talk to him again on Monday!

tidalsculpin Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 That would be really cool LeRoy came out. I'd love to meet him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JManrow Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 That would be really cool LeRoy came out. I'd love to meet him. Yeah, I feel that people don't give him enough credit for what he has done for the hobby. He really broke the ice about fragging corals for propagation. Back in the 1990's, most of us were too nervous about touching our corals too much, let alone chopping them to bits!(laugh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanareef Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I've read their whole site when I first started in this madness. He's done a lot for the hobby and Sally Jo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 +1 I read the whole GARF website too about chopping up corals. It inspired me to get back into the hobby after my failures in the 90s. All I could keep alive was hair algae. I could not even keep a rock covered with aptasia alive LOL. I don't even want to count the number of anemones that I slowly starved to death under 4x40w NO T12 fluorescent bulbs. It makes me sad just thinking about it. Now I have a tank full of healthy corals and another one that I am filling full of anemones. Mostly because I learned from the GARF website, along with some others. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the awesome colorful pictures for their tanks that inspired me into the hobby. Their story about trying to keep xenia alive for the first time in hobby history was intresting.

MedRed Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I'm obviously new to the meeting thing... what is the protocol for what to bring, what to pay, and what not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JManrow Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I just got off the phone with LeRoy. They won't be able to make it to the July meeting.:( LeRoy and Sally Jo do however occasionally make it out here to visit their grandkids, so a future visit should not be a problem!(rock2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I'm obviously new to the meeting thing... what is the protocol for what to bring' date=' what to pay, and what not?[/quote'] Normally, most people just show up and hang out for a few hours. A few sometimes volunteer to bring stuff like chips or soft drinks. Usually no charge either. This meeting will be a little different because it will be a DIY workshop. Part of the time will be spent making concrete rock. If you want to participate there will be a small fee, and bring your own bucket to form the rock in. If you don't want to make rock, just come and hang out with us fish geeks. Oh, also there are sometimes frag swap/sales that go on. If you have something to trade post it up. If you have something for sale, post it up. If you want to buy something, post it up... Looking forward to you coming again. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COReefer Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Cool. I hope that you can come over to my place too and see my tank while you are in town. dsoz that would be spectacular dennis. Are you going to provide "near beer" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Are you going to provide "near beer" Sorry, I don't drink (family history of alcoholism). I will leave the adult beverages to someone who knows what they are talking about. I am all for a good mug of rootbeer. If you want to trade, or buy something from me I would be down with that too. I still have 30-40 heads of frogspawn/hammer that I am trying to get rid of. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COReefer Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I don't drink either due to alcoholism. I will partake in a near beer tho=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Is "near beer" the stuff that is like beer, but non-alcoholic? I had forgotten about that stuff. I still think that it is not for me. I think that beer (except rootbeer) tastes like the urine of a goat (don't ask). Everyone is entitled to their oppinion. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
