October GIRS meeting

OK, a temporary setback. Ryan Neilsen has to work tomorrow so can't come or be on the tour. I have asked Brad (Dascharisma) to take his place. I haven't seen his tank yet the pics have looked beautiful! I am still waiting to hear back from him.
Everyone, you can use my cell as point of contact 515-491-4666.
Dave,
I think I will stop at HyVee between Cagri's and JJ's and get some potato salad. Does that work? Are you coming with us on the tour?

 

I am sorry I can't make it to the cookout, I will have to leave after JJ's tank.
Looking forward to seeing everyone's tanks tomorrow.
Cagri
ps: Neilsen cancelled because I am sure he is avoiding me.

 

I probably wont be able to stay for cookout but I am excited to see all of your tanks!!

Joel - Since I can't make the beginning of the tour to your house this morning (another time), and Ryan's tank (Ankeny) will not be on the tour, it doesn't make sense for me (WDM) to drive to Ankeny and then back to Urbandale.  So, I would like to just meet you guys in Urbandale.  I assume the timing for Cagri's house will be more like 1:00 or 1:15 than 2:00 - right??  Can I have an address??

 

Jeannette, I don't have the address but we can meet you at the HyVee on 86th and Douglas. Give me you cell phone # and I will call you with a time but yes 1:00 should be about right, things may be moved up an hour.

 

You know it might make more sense for me to meet up at Cagri's house as well. I have been there before and know where it is. Can I call a little later and get a time to meet up? Joel I would assume the number you have posted above will work?

 

Thats fine. Give me a call later.

 

Are there still people meeting in ankeny or should we just goto cagris house. I live on the south side of Des Moines and would rather just goto urbandale if someone could give me the address.

Thanks

Don't want to inconvenience anyone - I have some things to do on the west side prior to meeting up so that will work perfect!

 

Cagri is here now.
A dress is 3838 92nd Drive just off of Douglas. Go bnorth on 92nd from Douglas and it is the third house on the left.
My cell is 515-491-4666.

 

Awesome I will be at Cagri"s house at 1:00 then

 

We are leaving my place now. We will be at Cagris at 1:30.

 

Terrific turn out folks! This was a great day. Great tanks and great people. Lets not forget great food! Thanks Dave.
I would like to keep this momentum and try to plan some sort of meeting after Frag Fest in November. I will start a new thread but would like to get some ideas. Here are some:
Two Part DIY meeting
General DIY project meeting
Controller Discussion
Soft Coral species meeting
Hard Coral Species meeting
Fish Species meeting
(I think you see where I am going with the species meeting ..... Invertabrates ...)

 

Thanks to all that let us see their tanks, I had a great time. Thanks Again!

 

Thanks everyone, it was very nice meeting you all.

 

yeah it was fun and the food was great too are the pics up yet?

 

If someone wants to upload some photos of the recent Des Moines events, let me know and I'll create some photo galleries for you.   I'm glad to see that things are perking up in the Des Moines area and I'm looking forward to a great 2009 year for GIRS!
