Is this that "special gal" you were telling me about the other night? Don't forget to bring your emergency inner tube repair kit just in case she runs into any fingernails!

We made the reservation for 25 at dinner. We need to know by tonight exactly how many will be there.

FYI - I was just at Coral Paradise (needed a few things) - the scheduled 10 AM stop. The tour had not yet arrived (I left at 11:45). Thought I would meet some folks but I couldn't stay longer. Maybe next time.

I just want to say, that was the most fun I've had in quite some time & I didn't even drink! I started out at Coral Paradise, with a 25% off discount & got 2 fighting conch (been wanting those!).

Went to SeaSchor for pizza (free beer was also offered), 20% off, a free bottle of DT's phyto plankton, free jar of DT's oyster eggs, free bottle of glue (a bit runny for my taste). Free sand-sifting starfish for the free frag I won on another site. There was a guy there from Oceanic offering 30% off their tanks too!

ShoTank was next & I've never been there. Nice store & 30% off but they need to put up a sign on the outside & prices on their tanks. Tons of fantastic corals & got a free frag of a hot pink monti. Bought a Halloween-looking (black/orange) urchin & a bright green bubbletip w/purple tips.

Off to Andrea & Dennis' home for a peek into their huge inwall tank. Really nice "colored sticks" in there! Got me a free frag of rainbow monti!

Ocean's Floor was next & most folks had run ot of $$$ by ShoTank but I bugeted well. Got some fantastic deals on some African blue zoas & my free frag coupon I got from the CMAS swap. I didn't reven ask what our discount was, cause he gave me such a fantastic price on those zoas.

On to the home of the beefy's. Got a bunch of free frags there as well & they have 3 really nice tanks

Dinner was a bit late but company was great & so was the food.

Great time had by all!! When are we going again?

No hangover! Go home around 2:30am and started mounting frags.

Special thanks go to:

Tonya, Beefy and the Beefeater for great planning!
Jim at Coral Paradise for breakfast and great deals!
Steve at Sea Schor for lunch, BEER, more fantastic deals and of course the goodie bags! Steve really went all out for this event!!!!
Dennis and Andrea for being so hospitable and more beer
Mitch and family for driving the "$hort bu$!
Matt at Sho Tank- Great store, great selection and great service!
Dave at Oceans Floor- Another great store, fantastic selection, great deals and service with a smile!

Dinner at Del Toro was great and conveniently located within stumbling distance of Team Beefy's apartment. The Beefy team was also very generous with frags and hospitality!

I'm going back to bed until tomorrow!

Can we do this again next weekend?

madam,
my body was in shock with those two cokes I had
I drove home fast and adjusted my alcohol level to WNL
working on my fish room today so the beer is plentiful

I told my daughters I bought a little sea cucumber
they ran to the tank then back to me and informed me that he is big and black

Forgot some more freebies: doghnuts at Coral Paradise, sandwiches at Ocean's Floor & home made frozen food at fishgeeks, in both coral & fish flavors. I actually did spend some of my own $$$ too. Emptied the change bucket at the bank before going on tour.
