it was fun. too bad it was so hot.

Thanks Li and Wes for setting this up and also Joey for pushing for this.

here is a hint of who won the raffle.

FX5 -> someone with a 40g tank is very happy right now :D
$200 gift certificate -> someone who we needed to drag out of bed cause he overslept won. guess the term "the early bird catches the worm" is truely false. :D

Great time to see some members faces behind the name. those who didnt show missed out.

I score 2 Lates from 2 different Vince. :headbang2

Here is the picture of the shirt. I guess Li will post pics of the event later when gets back home.

It was fun but HOT like everyone said.....made it more hotter when one member brought his girl :nilly: . I seen all you horndogs eyeing her......LOL....

Thanks for driving Shoefreak next time I'll drive when we do our fishrun. Hey, that's funny two lates from two differen't Vince's....LOL..... you scored bro. Nice pick up.

Vince & Jay good seeing you guys bro. Vince, thanks for having us over. Big ups to the Endli ...he's bad ass. I want that Congicus so I'm swinging by this week.

Thanks to Johnptc & his son for having us over and showing us his 2K+ Gallon Pima tank. The concrete tank is unreal.

I went with my buddy Ben and I did have quite a good time, I was not feeling very well that day and felt like I had a fever ( I was the guy in the brown button shirt sweating to death!) so I hope that can explain my "shyness" . I think the nametags would have been a great idea(maybe all future meets should have this?), I wish I was feeling better that day and had been a bit more outgoing, I already wish I can do it again/over ! I enjoyed browsing over the fish at the shop and I want to thank everyone involved for putting on the meet , the raffle prizes were no joke! I wish I won that filter! Thanks for the shirt too! 3XL just like requested! At last my life is complete as I met one of my heroes! :ROFL: Neoprodigy :grinno: ! However the only other damper on the event was that "the belt buckle" did not make an appearance! Even being sick/under the weather I have to say that everything went great!
