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.

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.

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. :)

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 ;)

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

Table & pop up tent are always welcomed, thanks.

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

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.

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.
