lewisweil Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 If anyone happens to be a seahorse/pipefish expert I would love it if you came. A biology friend of mine who studies pipefish is attending and she would love to learn more about their aquarium husbandry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had worked in all aspects for a couple places solely involving sea horse/ pipe fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisweil Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 That's awesome! Any chance they would be willing to give a quick talk about it? I can see about getting a projector. If nothing else they need to meet my friend and nerd out on pipefish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewisweil Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 I've been getting great feedback about the socials. So I made this facebook group as a central socializing place for all types of fish nerds in Austin. It isn't for Fish Gallery and its not meant to take the place of ARC and other specific fish groups. Just a place to share interests, organize meetups and make community announcements. If you are on facebook consider joining. https://www.facebook.com/groups/526634554047826/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewisweil Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 That was a great meetup. It was exciting to see so many fish nerds converge. Sunny's presentation was so cool. I think we'll keep doing the presentations.With a little luck the next DLaF will be an inside the store sneak preview shindig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Bio)³ Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Will it end early again at the fg site? Was bummed to find people leaving at 8:30 when they were cut off. Had expected a great drinking activity till 10 with open bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had expected a great drinking activity till 10 with open bar. Yeah, it was kind of surprising to get handed a bill for my drinks. Last time we stayed until what, like 11?

+Jakedoza Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Great turn out and presentation guys. I look forward to next month in your new place hopefully. I think there were more people there than anticipated. I know Mike showed up late, but by the time he ordered, the tab was shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisweil Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 You're making it sound lame, last night was great. People were there well past then, your beer clock needs recalibrating.I'm going to try to get a keg if we do it at the store. Volume and rate of consumption will be the limiting factor.

Peter Gott Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Yeah, I thought it was awesome!!! The only reason I had to leave early is because I had to drive back down south and had work this morning. It was great getting to meet people, though. I wish we could do some ARC get-togethers that weren't on Saturdays (when I work). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
