Still getting pricing on the book. Will update here. The event is free and everyone is welcome to attend.

[Europhyllia]

I am planning to attend and I already own this fabulous book. :)

[kkiel02]

I Would like to attend but won't know for sure until it gets a little closer.

[Fegenbush]

My wife Brenda and I will try to attend heaven knows I could use all the schooling and info I can get...lol

[Pennies2Cents]

Im hoping the location is good. :) So we can attend...

? Now I will need to ask and see what locations Kristy has come up with in the past that were bad enough for people to be unable to attend due to location! Sounds intriguing. :) BioPellet demo at the Biker Bar?

No meeting has ever been bad. Kristy has always done very well in her event planning... We just have a busy schedule as many people with children. And depending on what part of town its on, we MAY just be able to make it. I guess I should have said that in the first place. lol

[kkiel02]

Well I'm out we are going to be working that Saturday too.

[Scutterborn]

I'll be there +1. I would also like a signed book, please.

[Kristy]

Haha, glad I could build a little suspense! I updated the announcement on the front page calendar, but looks like I failed to update here. Location will be Easter Seals again like last month.

And books will be $30 and we will pay at the event.

Thank You Much Kristy.. :bigsmile:

[Scutterborn]

Sweet!

[Kristy]

BUMP.... this is coming up this weekend already!

[BSJF]

Kriss and I plan to attend. When I got my monster clam hubby bought me the book, but it's missing a sig :) Hopefully I will remember to bring it and can get it signed.

[alton]

Kristy can we pay for the books via debit/credit card or just cash?

[Kristy]

Kristy can we pay for the books via debit/credit card or just cash?
Ah, good question! I am thinking it will be cash only.

[wesheltonj]

Will he sign books that we already own?

[dsachs09]

I'll be there. I saw a book once, I think it was in college. Glad to have a chance to look at another.

[Louis]

Big D and I will be there :)

[Zen Reef]

How big is the screen on this book?? I plan on attending.

[BSJF]

Plan your route in advance! Major delays on 1604 expected this weekend.

[Europhyllia]

Big Yay to Scutterborn for getting the Projector to work.

I thought James' presentation was fantastic. I want a Derasa now...

[Scutterborn]

Awww, I'm blushing.

[txg8gxp]

I agree, it's was a great meeting and the presentation was full of good info and easy to follow. :thumbs_up:James

[tebstan]

Mr. Fatherree's presentation was great! I loved his book, it's by far my favorite reef related item on my shelf.

Great job getting such an awesome guest speaker! :thumbs_up:

[Scutterborn]

I also had a great time. Very good meeting!

[Kristy]

Agree... learned a lot and really liked the way the information was presented. Thanks for joining us James!

[tebstan]

He has a great sense of humor too.

I tried telling many people how I laughed at the description/definition of pseudofeces (pg 27), but you have to be a special kind of nerd, I guess.

[bigdscobra]

What a great presentation!!! Good to see everybody.

Kristy thanks for bringing James by the studio today he seemed to really like it.

[alton]

Great Meeting and Speaker. It was great learning about all the myths in the Clam World.

[bigdscobra]

It was great learning about all the myths in the Clam World.

It’s funny because I remember telling Louis when we first started that we should make small acrylic boxes for the baby Maximums so we can feed them phyto..... Now we know just stick them under the MH and don't worry!

[Europhyllia]

... as long as you have fish food/poop for the nitrogen/phosphorus part!

[BSJF]

We came home and the first thing my now expert husband did was check for growth on the Squammy. He said it ain't growing fast enough. Dang! I get to go out of town soon, so if it doesn't grow while I'm gone it will be his fault!

[Texreefer]

wish i would have gotten a signed book,, My squammy is growing good

[Kristy]

Well... As it happens James was generous enough to leave us a couple of signed copies to put in the raffle at the Port A Collection Trip. So you might still have a chance to get one! :)
