    So we would be going to people's houses and getting to see their tanks? Or did I just confuse myself?

    I would like to nominate Cagri again for the tour. I think it would be great to see the progression of his tank. Cagri?
    Sone, is your tank moved to DSM yet? I am thinking not? But if so may we?
    Whom else, Chris (Tibbs)? Dave would be good again, I would also like to see the progression there. Maybe Ryan Neilsen in Ankeny, I will contact him.
    Who am I not thinking of? What new members do we have to show off?

    I have a dance competition that I'm trying to work around but would love to see some other tanks. Maybe more toward evening would be a possibility but the scheduling gods are against me again /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/sad.gif

    If my new Nems decide that they have their inflation clock reversed and start showing themselves during lights on, then I would be glad to host a stop...heck, I even have tons of meat in the freezer still and a nice big grill. Of course, you will have to ignore my roommate's Algae farm.

    And what kind of dancing do you do Matt? Jazz.... Interpretative,...Tap?
    If you think of it, videotape it and put it on Youtube. Lots of dance fans in GIRS.

    If the weather is nice, we will be in Ames for Veisha.  So, depending on when the tank tour starts, I may or may not be able to make it.  I would sure like to though.

    Actually no Dave it is not set in stone. We are actually discussing changing the date because several people can't come because of Veisha and other activities. So I would like to get people opinions on changing the date to
    Saturday May 2nd??
