SO.CAL MEET @ RAREFISH on Sept 3, 2006 (Labor Day Weekend)

[AQUATiC213ZOMBiE]

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
$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.

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

I score 2 Lates from 2 different Vince.

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

!!!!!!!!!!MOST DEFINITELY!!!!!!!

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! Neoprodigy ! 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!

Were you that tall big dude that made all of us look like midgets....LOL..

Glad you came out even though you were sick.

So who was spooning who ?

It was cool meeting all of you.. Thanks to all who made it possible. Thanks to Neo for coming out, R1 for getting the ball rolling and big thanks to Wes for putting the air full blast. That one spot between the electric blue jacks and the salt water tanks was prime real estate!

FX5 on a 40... man.... and Joey, you are right. After he won, he grabbed the goods and boned out.

Hey bro,

You were there ? You should of introduced yourself. Actually I think we all should of had name badges or something. A few were a bit shy Your from my part of town so it would of been kool to meet you.

It was fun but HOT like everyone said.....made it more hotter when one member brought his girl . 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 Li & Wes for making it happen it was fun.

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

Yeah...I should've worn my name tag from work Me and bigE were looking forward to meeting you since we all live pretty close to each other. But like he said, he wasn't feeling well. I was the short Asian(but taller than Li) with the No Ma'am shirt.

Dude..were you also there ?? ..... I think I saw you and I was thinking to myself that dude looks familier, I just couldn't put the two togheter..LOL....sorry about that. I was talking to Rob for a minute also about the Pbass's. They are doing great and is getting bigger. Actually the ones I got on our group buy is close to the first batch I got. I'm just power feeding w/guppies. I was trying to chat & meet as people as I can. I was plotting on fish napping that Tanganykin Perch Wes had and was asking people to distract Wes while I shove the Perch in my Gatorade bottle..... .....LOL
