lewisweil Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Hi ARC, Fish Gallery is coming to Austin. The store is being built on N. Lamar, a few blocks north of the Blackstar Coop pub, next to the original Threadgills. At the Houston store they regularly have Drink Like a Fish socials in the store. Since the store isn't built yet but we want to start drinking and talking fish now we are having a social this Thursday at 7:30 at Butterfly Bar over on Manor Rd. The future managers of the Austin store, plus some of the Houston crew will be there. So if you're free Thursday let Fish Gallery buy you a drink and come talk fish with us. Bring pics/videos of your tanks! More details on the facebook event. What: Drinking and talking fish with Fish Gallery Austin crew When: Thursday, 7:30pm Where: Butterfly Bar, 2307 Manor Rd.

+o0zarkawater Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I normally drink like a fish at home by myself, with my fish. I guess I could let you buy me some beers and talk me into your store, or into my pants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bpb Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Won't be in rr this weekend unfortunately. Ha ha. I'll leave the football talk up to you guys, my team affiliation likely puts me in the minority on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisweil Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Bpb, are you regularly in College Station? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I actually live here in college station. I'm a musician though and play with a couple groups based out of Austin, so I'm in town fairly frequently. At least a couple times a month.

lewisweil Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 When I was an undergrad at A&M I was in charge of the aquatics. I still contribute to the display reef in the biology building. They haven't had the budget the last couple years to hire a student to maintain it so it has faded since I was there. But they found someone good to work on it this semester. I am coming to visit this weekend. I'll probably bring a couple corals to help them start over (oh and to hit Layne's while I am there). You should check it out if you have a chance. I'm going to try to help them restock slowly over the next few months, so I am going to be trying to get my hands on all the frags I can! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 That's killer. I actually haven't seen the tank. When I did my undergrad I actually never went into the biology building. What size tank is it? So far I have only met two people here in town that have reef tanks. I'll have to go check it out at some point. Where in the building is it?

Let me know if you need any help, I'm class of '93 and my son just started there in the Corps this semester, so we'll be heading to see him for a few games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisweil Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 It needs all the help it can get. They have very little budget and are constantly under threat of losing the space for it. It is 125gallons. It was beatiful in my day ('01-'05) and then the kid after me killed everything and it never really recovered since. I'm going to check it out. If anyone wants to donate frags we/they would appreciate it. I know at least one reef keeper in B/CS. I'll have to get him on the board, maybe we can do a College Station rollcall. Maybe I can sweet talk Fish Gallery into running stuff out to B/CS or have an Aggie deal in Houston or Austin. Hrmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its open you might be able to pop in and see if you are down there before the band starts marching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
