    Same here on the tshirts! I wore my copepod shirt around campus yesterday and got a lot of funny stares. It was kind of funny actually /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif I bet most students thought it was some alien from a videogame or something.

    I've got you beat on the shirts, I think I netted over 15 plus kids sizes. Matt Nelson said he was up over 30 though. I haven't even looked in the LA bags (we got 5 or 6).

    I still think the best loot I got was not anything you can put a price on - getting to hang out with Jim Stime for an hour after his presentation, then sitting with him at the reception! Also, I managed to get myself into several of his interviews - I would watch for him doing video then wander into the background and stop to look at something...

    Wow, that's a lot of t-shirts! Wish we could have found some kids sizes, but it was pretty much XL everywhere, except at Rod's.

    Yeah, it was neat to be able to approach these figureheads of the reefing hobby/industry and just chat with them.......while we were registering I met Bob Goeman of saltcorner.com. He showed me pictures of his Mexico home, lol. Also got to talk to David Hannan after his talk at the banquet and bought his dvd /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif Very down to earth guy......
