subsea Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 For me, this will be a full day. I will also have the Grand Opening of Castille Coral Ranch at my Bear Creek home. This will be a celebration for me, no sales event. I will have a crawfish boil starting at 5PM with a house concert starting at 7 PM. Take your shoes off and stay a spell.

mFrame Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 Please note the changes to the raffle items. This is going to be a great meeting and frag swap! Feel free to start posting here which frags you plan to bring or frags that you may be looking for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Grog Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I will attend but won't have frags to trade as I'm still new. I'm in the market for blue ricordea, radioactive zoas, hulk zoas, and/or eagle eye zoas. (Looking to add green and blue hues to the tank.) Since, I don't have trade material, I will have some cash. Please let me know if cash is acceptable at the frag swap, I'm unsure of the rules regarding that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Cash is very acceptable. I will be bringing cokes and water bottles. And I might even make the mint chocolate cookies again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subsea Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Finally a meeting I can make I'm not sure if I'll have frags to trade or not. I'll post later if I do. Sounds like a fun meeting and a great way to spend muster hanging with a few ags Kim, I cant let 'the muster" comment get by. Even though I graduated from Texas A&M, I never attended "muster". When I attended the Texas Maritime Academy in 1971, I could not be in "The Core" because I was married. As I had just returned from 4 years of active military duty from November of 1966 thru November of 1970, I found the shaved heads and spit shined shoes amusing. I will not be denied an opportunity to experience "Aggie Muster". I want to extend an invite to all the Aggies out there within the sound of my words, You'll come to the Grand Opening of Castille Coral Ranch at 5 PM "until the cows come home". Your Cajun Aggie friend, Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Jakedoza Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 guess I should wear orange.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsea Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I know you should wear "burnt orange". It will be a remake of "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas". Because I am a Cajun first, I usually opt out for purple and gold of LSU instead of maroon. Two years ago, when LSU played A&M in the Cotton Bowl, after the game, I apologized to one of the young interns at the VA clinic. He was so much into being "an aggie", I felt his pain.

subsea Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I have a table and pop up tent as well if needed. I also have a mini 10g frag tank if you think the community tank is going to fill up Brian, if someone ask for it, then go ahead and bring it. However, I will have an empty 10G tank and numerous 5G buckets. I also have a 135G lagoon tank cycling with reduced lighting at this time. It would be available for spillover at the time of the meeting. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
