subsea Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Mike, it looks like you live about five minutes from my house in Hays County. The meeting sounds like fun. I already PM'd Dave about bringing Cajun ethnic foods. I say "La bonne temps roulee". Patrick
mFrame Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Looking forward to having everyone over. Feel free to bring kids, I'll have cartoons playing in the game room.
JamesL Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 I'll have cartoons playing in the game room. I might have to just go watch the cartoons
+KimP Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Sounds good to me, I'll be there! I sure could use the photography tips.

+dapettit Posted March 15, 2011 Author Posted March 15, 2011 Did you forget to mark your calendars? The March meeting is this weekend! The topic is "Photographing your tank and it's inhabitants". Be sure and RSVP as this is usually the largest meeting this year not counting the "FRAG SWAP"! did I mention there will be a drawing for a Aqua-Dome & Aquatech gift certificate. Hope see all of you there. . . Dave-
subsea Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Dave, I will bring a couple of pounds of smoked boudain and smoked sausage. Looking forward to meeting people again.
mFrame Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 If you use Google Maps DO NOT take it's advice and come up Rancho Alto from the south side (via 1626). The road is destroyed at that intersection and is really rough on your car. Look forward to seeing everyone.
JamesL Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Hehe... that road was fun in the Jeep. Don't think I would take my MINI that way though
stoneroller Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Great meeting! Thanks for hosting Mike and David for the great discussion on reef photography. ...and great Boudain!
subsea Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 l second the boudain. Thank you Mike, for the hospitality. I look forward to future discussions on reef husbandry. Dave, thank you for the discussion on reef photoagraphy. I am now inspired to get a camera. I guess I will have to wait on the golden egg to buy the equipment that I might need. Patrick
+KimP Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 I also enjoyed the meeting. Thank you Mike and Dave! I sure learned a lot about photographing my tank. Now to give it all a try
Timfish Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Thank you Mike and Dave! I'm really glad I went! And good boudain!
KKaiser4 Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 I also had a great time and learned several good tips on photography! The food was great too! Thanks to all who helped put this on!
JamesL Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Bummed I missed such a close meeting. Got caught up with other stuff that day.
mFrame Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Enjoyed everyone who made it, I'm happy to host again the next time you need a location. Thanks to our great presenter, Dave, for making the trip all the way south.
+dapettit Posted March 24, 2011 Author Posted March 24, 2011 Thanks again Mike for hosting our meeting. I glad that everybody enjoyed themselves. Pat your "cajun" sausage was out of this world. Can't wait to attend the April meeting at your place. Dave- Here is a few photos I took of your tank:
