Octo-berfest frag swap

Gauging interest...

Frag Sale/Swap
October 14th (Sunday)

Just wondering if any of the other reefers would like to get together for a frag sale/swap?

I (might?) have a location in Skokie. I cannot confirm that at this time. But might be able to secure a location if we have enough interest. This would allow the City Dwellers and maybe some South siders to attend for a change.

Any thoughts / suggestions?. Anyone interested??

I'm in . . . but I'm voting no on the seadonkey and yes on the beer.

I would be interested, that's so close to me I would be a fool not to attend. So, what happened with this "seadonkey" you all speak of? Did the seadonkey take all the beer?

Everyone was enjoying a few brewskis during the CMAS meeting when out of nowhere this grotesquely mutated and moustached sea donkey came flying out of the woodwork. Her name and age have yet to be verified, I'm guessing 98 and her name....probably Fugly Mcgillicutty. She snatched everyone's beers right from their hands....bottles seemed to dissapear as we hastily tried to chug them down....
A good thing though...I got a bunch of frags from Menard that day!

OK, we have secured a location!!!

8201 Skokie Blvd
Skokie IL, 60077
At the north east corner of Cleveland St and Skokie Blvd.
(Old car dealership)
PARKING will be in the south dealership parking lot (formerly Prestige pre-owned dealership)

10:00am - 4:00pm October 14th

We will be able to accomidate approx. 20-22 6foot tables.

Things to be aware of....

We DO NOT have tables on site. If you need one you must bring one.
Bring along extension cords. Power is limited, but we will be able to make things work with extension cords / Power strips.

This is a Privately owned building. We have the good fortune of being able to use it for next to nothing! We are asking for $5.00 per table (electricity) so we can make it a FREE ENTRY for those coming to buy/trade. There will be NO SEADONKEY at this location. That doesn't mean we're having BEERFEST, but it will be allowed. The owner of the property has given me (Dennis) permission to use the building and IS NOT RESPONSIBLE for the actions of those that attend. (Can't sue him/us if you leave and get a DUI or accident) You attend and enjoy at your own risk. That also means that we have to clean up afterwards. Everyone can lend a hand.

SELLERS: Please contact Andrea or Dennis via this thread or PM to confirm attendance.

Hope to see you all then.

Fishgeeksrus
Dennis and Andrea
