Next Meeting?!?!?!?!?!...!!! (1 Viewer)

Mike...you make-a-me laugh. When you get a break from work come on by. The brew is always cold:beerchug:
 
haha not sure when i ever will get a break but when i do that sounds good. when i get the 95 finished you will have to come check it out to see how it turned outs ince it left your hands. also if you plan to go to any meetings keep me posted now that i need to go to one haha
 
We need to put together a South Metro "reef crawl" and have members come on down for an afternoon/evening and hit several tanks in the Burnsville/Savage/Prior Lake/Shakopee area. Might make for a fun afternoon and bring some more members to the South Metro.

When I hosted my second meeting, it was a club fundraiser Texas Hold'em tourney and my 450 was still empty. We still had alot of people, I think about 20 people played, others just hung out and did their trading and sales...Instead of winning money, people donated high end frags and the entry fee was used to help bring in a speaker... That was 07, I believe...time flies...but the point is, you don't have to have a show tank up to host. Grimreefer hosted a meeting where David Grigor demoed the rod method of aquascaping. Years ago the meetings were THE place to trade, buy and sell...Dirk would often bring a load of dry goods and hold court in the street. It sounds like the goal is to get that feel back.

Didn't I make it heads up with Mary that day? I think I did....
 
I don't know what that means? I know I was out early, Redwinger talked smack all night and several people brought wine that didn't last very long...so we all won.

Can't wait to attend the next meeting IN 6 WEEKS so I can get full access back and meet all the lovely people of this great forum.

EDIT- I just seen the thread about the meeting this Sunday.

Get to meet everyone sooner! Yippy!

I've only got one hand as I'm holding my 6 week old that was just pissed at me for being on the internet so this will be a little shorter.

Current meetings are on the calendar which you can find in the forum navigation above. I'm going to try and make the whole meeting process clearer and how to host a meeting. Just need a little time.

I am alost done with it, and wil get a sticky posted today. Thanks for fielding all of these questions, on top of everything else you do.
 
It's a weird vibe being a new "member" (although apparently not a member after meeting at least 3 of you in person) and diving into "drama" in a msg board.

However I'm all for the communal effort. After this all went down, I registered of reefcentral and it doesn't have to "closeness" that this place has.

This is local and I'd like to know the people I deal with as well. If I sell fish or a frag, I'd like to see pics of how they're doing and I bet the seller would as well.

Being local and meeting face to face as time permits is great. Yes, I'm busy, I work weekends. I'd love to make a meeting and I'm sure I will. I wish I could access the for sale/trade forums until that happens...Once a year is not a big deal. i hope to attend more. But like others have said, a grace period might have been nice for those of us who just joined, but I get it.

Thanks for all fo your efforts.
 
The only thing that really bugs me is that I look at the meeting here and see nothing about what will be voted on

then I read this

I don't recommend that for your first meeting. It is a business meeting and there will be no tank there to see.

MrBill's is worth the drive to annandale.

That being said Those are the only 2 hits I get whe nI search "business meeting" It seems as if this meeting had more transparency there would have been more diverse opinions on the matter.....

And the fact that most of you sell on craigslist in addition to TCMAS just kills your argument that you "want to know who you're selling to"


In either case MODS, I appreciate you allowing us to have this thread open as long as you have to let us new guys get our opinions out.

There was *considerable* discussion about it in the Members Only section. Once you have gone to a meeting and get that level of membership, you'll have tons of 'fun' and interesting reading.
